How I did it
It made me
Accomplished 
How I did it: I had failed my driving test three times and it was a very difficult experience for me. I was filled with anxiety and it was all I could think about. I decided to take a test anxiety class offered at my school, which I found helpful for me. I also practiced my driving as much as I could. I finally took my fourth and final driving test last Wednesday and got an 86 on it! It was so thrilling! Tonight I'm going out to dinner with my best fri… Read how I did it…
It made me
Blissfully Happy
How I did it: I was inspired years ago to do this. I finally completed it by weaving coke tabs together, being very patient, and through trial and error. Lots of rows, lots of pop tabs, and lots of work went into this dress. And it not only met my expectations, it also exceeded them. =] Read how I did it…

Third time's a charm... NOT.

Today we went to the DDS where we had scheduled my third appointment for the driving test, which is all the way in September. I had heard that this place was very nice, which it was, and frequently took in walk-ins, which it did. And it was wonderful. We didn’t even wait an hour and a test administer greeted us at our car. She was very nice and I had a good feeling about this test.
So what when wrong? Two words: my nerves! My right leg was SHAKING so violently. All my parking went very well, but I didn’t check my left mirror/side when pulling out of my parallel parking space and before the quick stop I did not straighten my wheel, causing me to swerve. I never made it to the road.
We’re going back to the same place next weekend. The administer asked me why I was so nervous and she said to me, “You know this test, you know all the right steps, you know how to do everything. Do not be so nervous.”
It’s just so hard! I’m really not a horrible driver, I do not fear driving, I do not speed, and I can handle my vehicle. I’m just such a terrible test taker! I’m in college now, I need my license! I hate feeling like a failure like this. It’s gotten to the point where the only people who know I’ve been retaking the tests are my family and my boyfriend. I’m too ashamed to tell anyone! Next Saturday, I’m going there and I’m giving it everything I got, minus the nerves. I’m going to do this.
Gahhh!

This has been an absolutely horrible experience for me. I start college in three days and still do not own a driver’s license. I took a drivers ED course in high school [it consisted of sleeping and tests where they gave you the answers] as well as an actual driving instructor who was very helpful to me. But. BLEH!
I have failed the test, twice. It’s just awful. The first time I took it where I lived the guy was a jerk and didn’t offer any advice on how I could improve. He didn’t even let me drive on the road because my parallel parking wasn’t too good. Today, I took it again an hour away and got an awesome lady, but I unfortunately did not stop at an implied stop and it was an automatic fail.
So I’m so distraught about it all. I’m trying not to be, but it’s so hard. My first weeks of college I will not be my own person. I will have to rely on others to take me and it is REALLY getting to me. =[
The only thing I can do is keep trying and one of these days I’ll be able to get it.
