Yesterday I went to the DMV to take the road test to try to get my drivers license. I was nervous, but I was going to do it…we got in the car, left the parking lot, and onto a side street. The first turn I had to make was between two barrels, not a big deal, we drove around in a big circle and on our way back in we went past the barrels instead of between them, which got me thinking…when went back past them I looked at them and thought “we went between those before why are we passing them and not going between them” I tried figuring it out and eventually did. My total attention was on those barrels. We got back in the parking lot and I parked and the lady said “you did a really good job, but I noticed on your way back in you missed the stop sign, which is an immidiate fail”…I totally didn’t see it, they told me where it was…it was on a post coming out of one of the barrels that I had all of my attention on, how I didn’t notice it I will never know. The lady said I was one of the better drivers and that I was the third person so far that day who had missed that stop sign.
Today I went back to the DMV and drove with a different person and DIDN’T miss the stop sign…the lady asked who taught me to drive and when I said my mom she said “she did a really good job” …SOOOOOOO I now have my drivers license…with an M! So I can now legally drive a car or motorcycle all by myself! I’M SOOOOOOO excited!
Oh! and I also registered to vote. :-p
Jess and Joe are still making comments about me not being capable of driving…but I’m feeling good cause two of the DMV people said I was one of their better drivers!
