Exclusively, Lusi

I have to say, yesterday was an array of emotions. Besides packing the books and finally finishing up my Uganda project, yesterday was also the first day that I took my Vespa out by myself! Boy, did that feel weird - being self-sufficient I mean, That morning, I had found out that, much to my chagrin, there was summer work for Environmental Science so before I went to IBP, I had to drop by school to get it. Ignoring the fact that once I got the book and was ready to leave, I forgot to hold the brakes down so the motor would start (I was so confused for a couple minutes) I felt totally cool. But no, that’s not even the worst of it. So I pull out of school, once I finally figured out that I was being an idiot and forgetting to hold the brakes down, and I pull into the main road from which I needed to turn off of when I feel my helmet wiggling. Naturally, I start panicking. Surely it can’t fly off. i say to myself. Well what do you know, it sure can! Here I am, cruising down one of the busiest streets in town going 45mph, when my helmet fricken’ tears off from around my neck and flies away behind me -.- Thank god there was no one driving behind me otherwise I would have been paying for their new windshield! I had to pull over and run back 100 feet and get it where it was resting in the road. I can’t even, and don’t want to, imagine what would have happened if I wasn’t alone on the street! My last scooter incident came as I was attempting to drive away after packing the books. Here I was, having issue after issue, while my friends excitedly waited for me to drive off so they could watch me. I swear, it was the pressure they put on me by watching that caused me to make mistakes! I completely forgot how to unlock the wheel and finally, after 5 minutes of wrestling with it, I just waved them off and told them to leave without me. I got it 30 seconds  after they left -.-

Anyway, that was my exciting, scooter-filled and  disaster-filled day, laid out in one neat blog post for your entertainment.
