Eyes
So my parents decided I need to see an eye doctor.
I have driving lessons every week. Now, you'd think, considering the fact that I've been taking them since July (or was it June?) that I'd, you know, have any idea how to operate a motor vehicle by now. Some of my inability to drive can be blamed on my general spazziness. I kind of space out at traffic lights and don't always stop at stop signs and sometimes I use the wrong turn signal and I never have any idea what speed I'm going, but then again, pretty much everyone else on the road does dumb things a lot of the time and it's not really a big deal. But I still can't get the hang of things like pulling into and out of my driveway, and switching lanes, and I especially cannot park to save my life. And apparently I drive too close to the side of the road.
After my last lesson, Carol, my lovely instructor, came to my door to talk to my mother. Basically, she apologized, because she just can't understand why I suck so much. During that particular lesson we practiced parking in between cones, and I kept hitting them, even though I was going slow and looking behind me and everything. She keeps telling me you're supposed to line up the little mirrors with the line on the parking space, which works in theory, except when I try to focus on the mirror and the line they kind of jump around.
And so she's talking to my mother about me hitting cones, and I kind of casually mentioned my little problem of totally lacking depth perception skillzz, and it was like a light bulb went off in her head.
So my parents have cancelled the lessons until I can ask an eye doctor why things move around if I look at them for too long and why I can never seem to tell how far away anything is.
If the doctor tells me I'm normal, then I'm back to having no excuse whatsoever.
