Learning To Drive

I'm about to cross something else off of my list of things to do for 2012...getting my license. It was on the list of things to do for the summer but has been pushed up since I just realized my permit was expiring after 4 years. So, crunch time. I have 5 weeks to learn how to properly drive and to pass the test. There is no room for failure. I've driven a few times with my sister about 1 1/2 years ago but she stopped letting me drive her car after a minor incident. I still think she blew it out of proportion though. I just wanted to get on the road and she was quizzing me about all this nonesense. In frustration the conversation went something like this: Maria: check the mirror. Me: ok. Maria: where's the signal? Me: here. Maria: What are the pedals? Me: God! It's gas and reverse ok?! Can we go! Maria: get out. So, it's been a while since I've been behind the wheel. My mom let me drive her car last week for the first time. I discovered a little quirk: I sing everything I do when driving. Songs such as "makin' a right turn, oh yeah. we're turning right, yeah" and "going slow over the bump...so slow like a turtle". It's my thing. Accept it. Last Thursday was my first lesson with an instructor. I was kind of amazing. I told him to give me a grade at the end. It was 100! what, what! And, I don't think he was just being nice. At some point he said "are you sure you haven't driven before?". I responded with "I play a lot of video games. So technically, I've been driving since I was 10 years old." June 5th is my road test. There is no room for failure. If I do fail, I have to renew my permit which means I have to take the written test over and pay for it again. That's not happening. But if for some reason they make me do it, I will pull a Sheldon and force them to just hand it over to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibCck2iDOqA Getting things done for 2012....lets do this shit!
