June 29, 2005 driving lesson So... I'm attempting the whole driving thing again. (Yes, I do not have my driver's license and I realize I am 25). :P With some pressure from my friends at work, I took the written test a few weeks back, got my permit, and took my first driving lesson yesterday (well, technically, it wasn't my first lesson but it's been *years* since I've been behind the wheel). I was terrified and nervous for the first 5 minutes (AND almost hit another car, natch) but after the anxiety wore away, it wasn't so bad. I have LOTS of hours of practice ahead of me, though... I need to practice my turns (I have a feeling I go too slowly), get used to traffic, and I have yet to even attempt driving on the freeway (the very thought scares the bejeezus out of me). My goal is to take the manual driving test by my birthday (October), which gives me about 3 months. You all are my witnesses! I can't back down now. EEK. Posted by Kel at 11:16 PM &. C O M M E N T S.Good luck, Kel! I kind of love driving, but that's because I have a stick, so it's fun. Posted by: Emma at June 30, 2005 08:56 AM Kel, I am so happy you finally watched VM! I started late too, but it's still worth it. It didn't really ruin anything for me. Good luck with the driving! I can't imagine not driving, but then again I don't live in a big city with plenty of public transportation. Posted by: Amanda at June 30, 2005 12:00 PM I don't drive anymore either (bad accident and high insurance) but I'm hoping to start up again next year. I do miss the independence but I'm scared now, like you. Posted by: Alie at June 30, 2005 03:32 PM Kel! Wow, I know you can do it. I don't have my license and I'm 22. My goal is this July though, that I'll take my test. I've been practicing seriously for about a year now and I really really want to get it. I hope your lessons go well, and don't worry, once you start going on the freeway more frequently, your nervousness will let up. Posted by: Sarah at June 30, 2005 03:46 PM I've been obsessed about getting my driver's license for the past two months now, and it's kind of ridiculous. But I am really, really scared to take the test. Ridiculously so. Sigh. Good luck with your driving! Posted by: Jessica at June 30, 2005 06:33 PM Ooh driving manual, good luck! I used to go really slowly during turns too, I was afraid of the gas and horrible nightmares about hitting streetlights, but once you practice, I'm sure it'll just come naturally to you :) Posted by: Gela at July 1, 2005 05:04 PM Good luck with the driving! And freeway driving? Gah, I can't do it. My mind conjures up that scene from Clueless ;) And yay! for Hawaii...I hope you have a wonderful time :D Ooh and sour-lemon looks so pretty and that such a great domain name! Posted by: Lisa at July 2, 2005 07:57 PM Ah, I'm not alone. I'm 19 and don't even have my permit. :-x lol. My friends keep asking me when I'm gonna get it, and I feel so pressured. blah. Posted by: Lauren at July 4, 2005 03:37 PM Dont feel bad, Im 23 and don't have my license either. I'm working on it though, so glad to hear I'm not alone.. most people make me feel pathetic about it. Good luck girl! Posted by: Trish at July 7, 2005 12:09 PM &. P O S T A C O M M E N T. |
