Thank you to everyone for all your well wishes and cheering me on and all that, but no, yesterday was not my day to become a legal driver. I failed my test. I was extremely nervous and made many mistakes. I know what I need to work on. I've ALWAYS known what I needed to work on. I didn't need the instructor dude to tell me. He told me everything I already know. I guess I just thought that maybe I'd actually do a good job while testing. But I should know by now that I'm NEVER confident during testing. Especially in Chemistry and Calculus. Ugh. C and D in those classes. But that's neither here nor there. Gotta stop taking my turns so quickly. Gotta slow down during parallel parking. Gotta check behind me more often during certain maneuvers. Gotta be a better judge of the speed and distance of other traffic while waiting to pull out of one road onto another. Gotta RELAX. Think ahead. Look ahead. Yeah.
Anyway, I'm fine. In fact, I couldn't have been better today. I was in the greatest mood. I have no idea why, but I was in a jumpy, singing kind of mood today. I was crazy. When just yesterday I was so childishly angry that I actually said to my mom, "I HATE driving! I'm never driving again!" And then I drove to work today. :) So, yeah, that was immature of me. Also, I need to remember where my parking break is. D'oh! That was embarrassing.
Now I laugh at myself. Just dust myself off and try again. Oh well, right? That's life.
My Not-So-Secret Admirer didn't come into Mobil today. I guess he doesn't love me anymore. Maybe he's found a new convenience store girl to admire, like at Holiday or Kwik Trip or something.
Nothing more to see here.
