Philosophy takes the wheel

Tomorrow I will be taking driver's education for the next 6 weeks. Ugh, driving. To me it is pointless if you have seen the road enough and seen signs enough to understand them that everything they teach you is just common sense. But unfortunately, New Jersey schools do not work like that. They put it into their schools' curriculum to teach driver's education. Everyone in the country always cracks jokes about New Jersey's bad driving so why would they even bother teaching the safety of the road if those idiots are just going to be reckless on the road anyway?
However, credits were withheld from me because I did not bother with learning to drive because I had it in my mind that if I never even want to get behind a wheel because of how scary the reality of driving a car can get to be, that learning to drive is just pointless. I also thought that a great mind does not need to get behind the wheel of an automobile to reach its destinations, a philosopher can walk within the walls confining his city, but his mind is always free to wander beyond the boundaries he sees.

Hoping time will fly quickly so I can enjoy summer,

Yours Truly
