Now to follow through and take the test on monday, which means facing the DMV and crowds and waiting (I dread the DMV!), which is not something I’m looking forward to exactly. I don’t think this over all goal of learning to drive is going to be a very fun one, just a necessity. I’m not looking forward to it, but buses are becoming very impractical. It’s ridiculous that it takes me 30 minutes to get to school by buses where it would take someone between 5-10 minutes to drive me there. After awhile that time adds up, and what makes things hard is that I have a lot of instruments to carry and a shoulder condition, and the trip to school is troublesome with that. And plus we don’t have music lockers for summer term so not having a car makes things quite impractical.
Despite all the advantages, I’m feeling apprehensive about all of this. I’m just going to take it one step at a time because I know I need to move forward and put this behind me. 3 years ago
Well, my plans have been postponed, I plan to take the permit test on Monday and finish the book hopefully tonight. One thing I’m noticing I thought I had overcome my fear of driving, but as I’m reading the manual I’m freaking out a bit. There are a million things to remember and I’m really scared about getting in a car crash or a scary situation where my car breaks down. I guess learning about all this stuff and what i can do to prevent it will help me be in control but it seems a little overwhelming right now and I hate the idea of being at mercy of stupid/bad drivers, and I also fear that as a beginner, I’ll become one myself. My fear is basically of things getting out of my control when driving. The only thing is that I’ve experienced times in my own life where things get out of control, and this past year with my pinched nerve, my body was a bit out of control and it was scary but I was able to bring things back in control. On the road you have to make split second decisions in a dangerous situation and I’m worried about the speed. I guess I should take this one step at a time and stay on task, and figure out how the driving part works when I get there. I guess now I need to read through that long manual and get my permit and just take this one step at a time. 3 years ago
