The rain falls hard on a humdrum town
Re: schoolwork - I didn't even last as long as I thought, already started doing German yesterday. I know, I know, my head is hung in shame.
I had my first practical driving lesson yesterday and my second one today and I'm convinced that I'm horrible. I just can't coordinate all the different pedals, the streering wheel, gearstick and looking for other cars and cyclists and pedestrians and shit. And it was raining horribly as well, especially today. That is so much more confusing than I thought! I already accused my instructor of lying when he said it wasn't that bad, I just know it was.
When I'm just practicing it can be quite fun, I feel in control and as if I'm doing something right (except the time I nearly ran over a parking car with someone inside, oops), but when I'm driving on the road I get panicky 'cause it's just so frightening. I've never been in a situation where I could endanger other people's lives and I don't feel in control of the car when there are other people and cars around yet. Oh cows.
Next lessons are on Tuesday and Wednesday, hope the weather's better then. Wish me luck, okay? I'm going to take a few theory lessons again too, just to feel more secure in what I'm doing traffic-wise.
My new icon's lovely, isn't it?
