I loved every second of it!
This is a VERY big statement coming from a woman who just 4 months ago was a real car and driving-a-phobe! It took me a few lessons to stop feeling sick and stop shaking.
The last 3 lessons I can see how I am now going from strength to strength and it makes such a difference.
Last night I took a two hour lesson that is normally done on a Pass Plus test! This is an advanced driving test and the part I did is the requirement for night driving. I did a good few miles on a dual carriageway, went through a town centre and came back through villages, twisty turny windy lanes and beings we are in the middle of nowhere at times I had some lovely fog to contend with. I also drove into the next county of Cambridgeshire. It gave me a good experience and I am so glad I gave it a go.
Upon arriving home my instructor congratulated me on such good driving in the lesson. On the way out I was honest and said I was looking forward to it but a couple of times I had looked forward to lessons I had messed up more than I should have. I also told him that he couldn't see it but this is the first lesson I have been smiling throughout the whole lesson.
I really loved it and the outlook of having a driving license in the future is looking a lot brighter as I am getting more and more confident and enjoying what I do.
Totally unrelated here is my favourite song of the moment. I have it in my head continuously and I wish this local young man lots more popularity in the future. For now, here's what Rupert Grint - Better known as Harry Potters Ron Weasley - is up to these days (besides looking very grown up) :
I absolutely HATE driving, but it was still a good feeling to get my license. The freedom it affords a person is nice, too! I think it is so great that you are doing this, even though you have been nervous (understatement?!) about it.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe how grown up Rupert Grint is!! Makes me feel OLD to see him like that. I just watched the first Harry Potter movie with Monkey recently and I still think of him as he is in that movie! haha
Not really my kind of music usually, but I did listen to (and quite like) that song. Glad I pushed play. :)
