First, deadline for the unicorns is November 20th, so two more days and it's due on Friday.

I feel old. Not old old, but just sort of old. I can get my permit now, because I turned sixteen over the weekend finally. I think I'm going to look into taking driving courses and whatnot over the summer, though. And I went in to have my first eye exam in about six or seven years, turns out I need glasses. I'm farshighted, but my eyes have adjusted to work really hard to see things close up and get tired, so when I look at things far away they get blurry. So yeah, getting some reading glasses. I thought they'd look really wierd on me, but when I was trying on frames they actually didn't look too out of place. It's just so odd, being able to get a job and learn to drive and wearing glasses. Not to mention having to think about college. I mean, until middle school I was basically feral, my parents couldn't get me to bathe and I never brushed my hair. Most of my clothes had stains and holes and whatnot. And now I can't stand feeling dirty, and I actually take care of my hair, and I'm gonna wear glasses. It's just wierd. But at the same time I feel ready for all this stuff, I think. I want to be able to drive, and I feel like I'd rather have a job than go to school right now.

But I also can't believe my life's disappearing so fast, and it's scary that my eyes, a part of my body that I use and always took for granted, are deteriorating. And I never used to get sick, but recently I've been catching whatever's been going around. Not to mention I found out I had asthma in high school. It's just scary that my body is vulnerable like it is, it's the only thing I've had my whole life and I like it and I love what it can do for me and I don't want it to fall apart.
Oh well, that's just life I guess, and life is cruel.
