Whip-lash mania

Well, the car is quite awesome. We got new floor mats, a new drivers seat, and took off the peeling tint on the back and side windows. We're going to try to get a new paint job soon. Unfortunately, I went driving in it with my dad last night and it was not as easy as I was expecting. To say we got whip-lash was an understatement. I did finally make it to Hallmark, at which I showed Maria our new car. And I was glad I gave her a head start--I stalled the car a half a dozen times before I finally pulled out of the parking lot. But with a lot of practice, I should have the hang of it in no time.
You ever notice that teachers seem to know when you drift off in class? I swear, my geometry teacher KNOWS when I'm gone. She's got like a radar or something that scans the room, enters our brains, and makes her call on the person who doesn't have a clue about what she's talking about...which is usually me. When I know the answer, she never calls on me. But when I have no clue what we're talking about, what page we're on, or what problem we're doing, she calls on me. I've got to find a way to keep it together without having to pay attention. Which could take a while. I'll let you know when I figure it out. Later days.
