Jacob and Amanda!

Well, Jacob is a junior this year, and will soon be entering his senior year...yikes! Where does the time go? Jacob's taking Accounting, Chemistry, Enriched Language Arts, Latin III, Journalism, and Trigonometry. I remember my junior year being quite the full load as well. You think with all those subjects one wouldn't have time to do much else. Well, Jacob has made sure to make room for some social life. He's busier than ever with friends and we don't typically see him that much on weekends like before. He is awaiting his license. He just finished the class and test portion of driving school and has to wait 6 weeks before he can go take his driver's test. We didn't have all this where I grew up. We took driver's ed. in school...took the permit (written) test...one month later the driver's test. Here, they have to go to driver's school which consists of 18 hours of sitting in a class, and at the end of the sessions taking a written test. He got his state permit last year and has been able to drive, but had to do this as well. Now that he completed his classes, he will have to do the "in car" process for the school. Once he's done with that he'll go take his state driver's test. Wow, did you get all that! It's quite the process. Now that he's needing a ride every weekend somewhere, he is very eager to get his license, not to mention he wants to be able to pick his girlfriend up and not have mom or dad with him:)
