Lesson #1
Ma gave me my first driving lesson on Sunday. That went pretty good. Keep in mind the list below is a huge deal to me because I have a few retarded qualities.


Things learned

- I have to turn the wheel exorcist-style to get the vehicle to actually TURN, which I figured out before I ran into the building in front of me
- ** I am capable of turning the wheel without my arms killing me **
- I am capable of not freaking out when behind the wheel! Though music may be a bad idea while I'm driving (too distracting)
- ** I am capable of adjusting the parking brake **
- I am capable of DRIVING

My plan now is to get the handbook, take the test, get my permit... and eventually get my license! It could happen. I actually think it could happen! I fear the driving test though...

I took the sample knowledge test online and got 8 of 10 questions right. I'd actually have gotten 9 out of 10 right if I'd gone with my first thought on one of the two I missed. The one I didn't know at all was one about the center turn lane(it told me what it's for after I answered though, so now I know!). I feel pretty optimistic.


Mmhmm, I'm very excited about this! :D

GOOD LUCK!!

i swerved off the road when i first started learning cause i was scared of the oncoming traffic in the opposing lane lol.

..i think hitting the building would've been a great story though. you only have to past the test then forget about it.

that's what most people seem to do anyway.

haha I wish I was the one being paid! I have ads now because my paid account ran out last month...and since I have a few icons I can't use unless I have a "plus" account(plus account is a free account too except it has more features + more icons, but you have to accept ads on your page to use it) :S
