Driving Update

Three months, forty-four hours, 450 kilometers and 10 buckets of tears later, I still can't proudly state that I can drive. I can, of course, as in, give me a long stretch of highway and a car and I'll do what I have to, but when it comes to navigating traffic, oh boy.

I don't even know what's the problem any more. Is it me? Is it everyone else? I usually kid myself into thinking the latter, because why do people drive cars when I'm around, and why do they park so tightly, and why do they even park on the streets? You know, the least I expect from them is to keep half a mile distance from me, so I can happily do my own thing.

How do people even do this? And no, I'm not talking about you Americans, who have two pedals and no gear stick. Y'all have it easy-peasy.

On the plus side,* sigh*,  I now look up to everyone who has a driving license. 

Driving Miss Layra Is No Longer Needed

Hiya People of the Internet!

Today, I had my first ever driving lesson. It wasn't my first time driving, that already happened in July, thank you very much, with very little success and one dented gate, but it was the first time I legally got to drive a car.

What can I say? It wasn't that scary, I was by no means screaming, crying, and/or shouting, I was pretty much driving around in circles for one and a half hours. Every two minutes, we stopped. Hashtag fun.

At first, I had problems with getting the car straight, so it's an advantage that we can't start out on the streets, because I would've been mistaken for a drunk driver in no time, but yeah...it was quite an alright feeling, snaking along the pavement with 5 km/h.

I also found out that my teacher has three kids who currently have the flu. The guy is pretty nice, though. AS OF NOW.

My car is a Chevrolet Spark, so singing my favorite song 'American Pie' by Don McLean has suddenly become incredibly appropriate. It's also sparkly and goose poop green, so all the goose poop on it goes unnoticed. Now, isn't that rad?

I'll keep you updated on the progress, as of now, I'm nowhere near getting a speeding ticket.


Loves,

Layra xx
