I know that. he's more worried about me driving alone somewhere than where I'll be. that's what Mom said at least. and she recommended that I try a less forceful approach, lol, and try reasoning him into it.

I'm trying to get a hold of my friend who *likes* to drive and see if she'll go with me but I don't think that they have Mon. off at her school. :/ and Mom said she'd feel better if I could just get someone to go PART of the way even. So I have a friend going to STL, and I am going to try and get him to join in. :D
