oh what a night..

So, last night I thought I'd be relaxing working on some homework and catching up on some episodes. Instead, I ended up going to the Breeze In with Cody. (Breeze In is a convenient store) Now Cody drives an old pick-up truck, like nearly 20 years-old, and I have nothing against old cars, but I'm not quite sure this truck would pass inspection in Maine. Anyways, it's a manual and he promised he'd teach me how to drive a stick-shift. So at 10pm last night, I'm in the middle of the Nugget Mall parking lot learning how to drive a stick-shift and.....I ONLY STALLED OUT ONCE! I never got beyond 2nd gear, but who cares! We're going to go practice driving again on Saturday, so wish me luck! Maybe I'll even drive it out of the parking lot this time!

Today is Friday the 13th, which to most people is either seen as some bad omen or a day full of bad luck, but it's probably one of my favorite days for many reasons. It's Friday which means no school tomorrow and 13 is one of my favorite numbers (I find it particularly lucky). Now I happen to be very superstitious and I have no idea where I got it from. Breaking a mirror is probably the worst thing you can do for yourself, if you walk under a ladder to reverse the bad luck you must immediately walk backwards underneath the ladder, black cats are really lucky to me, you spill salt and you better throw it over your left shoulder quickly, and lastly, the Evil Eye will protect you from any negative forces. I apologize for the long unimportant tangent, so back on track. Tonight I have the Dinner for all exchange students which will be exciting, there is just so many of us that it is difficult to get everyone together. And later tonight Cody and I are getting a ton of people together to watch Friday the 13th, I don't do well with scary movies but I'm sure it will be fun.

Anyways, I apologize that I didn't share too much about Alaska in this post, but hopefully you still enjoyed it. If you have any questions about Alaska or what I am doing I'd love it if you would comment on this post. It may help steer me in understanding what you are interested in knowing. So please, please comment and enjoy your Friday the 13th!
