DONT HIT THAT CURB....ah crap

soo umm driving on the left hand of the street is definately as hard and scary as it sounds. i think i feared for my life way too much out there. i had to tell my mom how to drive practiacally haha. okay so we hit a couple curbs qent in the wrong lane a couple times got honked at. and oh ya we got stuck on a curb and couldnt get out so i had to get out of the car and push but i couldnt get it off so this old man comes up to us and asks us if we need help so i was like haha ya...and he was like, so how'd ya manage to do that? and im like...we're canadian, and he laughed. so ya he tried to push it, but couldnt. so he stops this fairly good looking boy riding his bike and asks if he could help us so this young man was like okay mate and like practically lifts the car up and pushes it back. haha ya he was pretty awesome. except he was like smoking right in my face.

kay we finally get to the mall and we go to go get cell phones and this awesome guy named mitch is helpin us out right, and everyone there thinks its pretty cool that we come from canada, and he asks wat school im going to, and turns out he went to the exact same one. (y) (thats a thumbs up) so ya.....good day...kinda
