New Car

Yesterday was my dear friend, Nick's, farewell. He's going to Baton Rouge Louisiana on his mission. It was a sad but happy event. I got to see him before he goes, and I know he's doing the right thing. And a lot my friends from SUU came so I got to see them. It made me miss everyone a lot more though. Nick gave an awesome talk, and an awesome party afterwards.
It weird, he's my first close friends thats leaving. I've watched family member leave, but, its just not the same. I feel old. I know, I know, I'm only 19, but still. All the sudden I'm old enough to get a car loan, send friends off on missions, watch my best friend get married... Things that I always knew would happen, but now that they're happening, I don't really know how I feel about it. Growing up isn't the walk in the park that you think its going to be when you're 15. I remember saying, "I can't wait till I'm 18 so I can do whatever I want." Well, now I'm 19 and I still can't do whatever I want. I still have to do things that I don't want to do so I can live. I mean, who wants to work, and make car payments and go grocery shopping, and all that stuff. I would much rather be hanging out with friends, or traveling, not worrying about money, car payments, cell phone bills, insurance, gas prices, food, clothes, rent, blah blah blah... You actually have to work to get what you want. Imagine that.
Anyway, enough of that tangent. The last little bit has been pretty good. I got my new car. It’s a white 2005 Nissan Sentra SE. I love it. It just needs a little more power and it would be perfect. (Like maybe a V8 engine kind of more power… Yeah, I wish.) Its got all the extras: a spoiler, subwoofer, 7 disc changer, iPod hook-up, all that nifty stuff. And, its 10 years newer than my last car; which, you know, always makes a difference.

This is my new car. Or at least one like it. I'm too lazy to take a really picture of my car and get it on here. So this is as good as it gets.
