I got my driver's license! My mom, Aunt Lu and I went to Dairy Queen for dinner to celebrate. It's bitter sweet. I can finally drive on my own, but I wish Josh were here. He should be celebrating with me. If it weren't for him taking me out to practice I wouldn't have a license.

Molly wants me to call him to tell him the good news but I don't feel up to it. I don't want to talk to him. I don't want to pretend that I'm happy and that I'm not upset that he's gone.

This weekend should be interesting. My father is flying in tomorrow night after work. He has to conduct some business in New York early next week so he decided to come up early and spend the weekend in Pennsylvania. Lucky Pennsylvania! If I could just convince him to take me to NY with him... It will never happen though. He went to the University of Pennsylvania and he's dead set on me getting into an IV League school as well. There's no way he'd let me miss a day of school to go to NY.

Tomorrow night Molly, Alex, Tom and I are getting together to work on some of the arrangements for our show. Doing this junior project has been a lot of fun. I've been so preoccupied with Josh that I haven't posted much about it. We're doing the show at the end of March and it's about American Popular Music from Ragtime to the present. I have learned so much about American culture just by studying the music. It's amazing, and it's opened up so many different types of music to me. I really appreciate older music now. Aunt Lu likes that I don't mind listening to her stuff anymore. :)

The only problem we've run into is that I was going to ask Josh to play "Maple Leaf Rag" and "The Entertainer" during the Ragtime portion of the show. They sound like difficult songs and I don't know anyone else who can play the piano the way he can. Molly thinks he'd still do it, but I don't know how we'd rehearse it since he's in New York. I'm going to shop around for other piano players. If I don't find anyone we'll either play a CD of the music or ask Josh to come down for the performance.

I really should do some homework. So that's all for now.
