driving

i am pleased to announce that i made it through my first driving lesson (did i just pop your bubble againgrace?) it was pretty scary, but other than turning, i think its all pretty easy. so first off he gets there 40 mins late ( but at least he called, so i knew he would be late) and then we go around my neighborhood, justpractising stopping, starting, looking both ways, and all of that stuff. then hes like - were going to go on some busy streets. i literally said uhoh! so i start on a semmi busy street, and i do ok, so then he makes me go on an even busier street. and then!!! he makes me drive past the lakewood mall durring rush hour!!!!! but i made it home, and there was a big fire somewhere really close by, i saw the smoke and was really sad. so i went to a stoplight, and sat there praying for whoever might have been in the building, or for whoevers it belonged to, and then i drove home.


over all it was pretty fun, except that my knuckles hurt bc i was gripping the wheel really tight for two hours! oh, and i discovered i go too fast while turning. but it was my first time, so ill get better. i dont think i had any major problems with anything, so im happy.










grace, after reading this, will vyou still trust me to drive you around? :)
