Woo hoo! 2 months ago

My mom let me drive myself to work this morning (alone!). I’ve actually been doing quite a bit of driving lately thanks to driving school and guilting my mother into letting me drive more. I can parallel park, do turnabouts, I’ve gotten better control of my turns. I feel like I might be ready to take the test but I need just a little more practice and then I’ll be 100% ready.



Getting closer... 3 months ago

So Im done with my 2 classroom sessions and I signed up for driving time this Thursday and my mom and I have been driving a lot more lately. Im really good at staying in the lines, turning, stopping (smoothly), and maintaining proper speed. NowI just need to work on parking (regular and definitely parellel), backing up, and remembering to put my signal on early enough, lol.



I feel really close now! 3 months ago

Tomorrow morning I have my first Drivers Ed class. Im a little nervous because I dont want to feel weird about being 21 and just now learning to drive and I really hate classrooms (its so awkward and bright and quiet). Anyway I have to take two 3 hour classroom sessions and then I get 6 hours of driving lessons. Hopefully after I log my drving time I will be comfortable enough to take the test before the end of October.

Then my new goal will be to get a car…I already know what I want! =)



Now comes the hard part 4 months ago

I’ve had my permit for a little over a month so Im now eligible to take the test for my license. Unfortunately I’ve only driven twice thanks to my job, and my unmotivated mother.

So now Im going to take matters into my own hands and look into driving school. Not only will I recieve good driving training from someone who wont jerk the wheel if they think Im over a “wee” too far, but Ill also get a discount on my insurance whenever I get a car! And my mom said she would pay for it! yay!

I’ll update today or tomorrow once I find out the details. =)



Almost there! 6 months ago

I got my permit today!! So now I just have to practice practice practice and I’ll be eligible to take the driving test in one month!! yay! Im getting soooo close! =)



I was so close today 6 months ago

I’ve actually been studying the drivers manual for the past 4 days and I was fully prepared to take it today but I completely forgot the fee has gone up (from $8 to $15) and Im flat-arsed broke. Someone was supposed to be paying me back some money they owe me but they havent as of yet. But come heck or high water Im going first thing friday morning (after I go to the gym, lol)



No more excuses 23 months ago

Im 19, my goal is to have my license before my 20th b-day in May. I’ve never really needed it before but Im taking a bunch a dance classes and I go to the gym and I work so Im starting to feel like a burden (even though I know my mom doesnt mind). I would also like to have that freedom of being to leave whenever I want, lol.
