Excited? Ha, Yeah Right.

For some reason, I can't get to sleep. I think it's because I have my first behind the wheel thing tomorrow. Ugh, omg, I am soooooo nervous. You'd think I'd be all excited and happy for this new 'freedom'. Well....I'm not too psyched out about it.

My 'rents were all like, "Do you want to try driving the car in the driveway?" I said yes and after showing me all the controls and junk, I tried backing in and out of the driveway/turn around and in the process, I learned something new about myself: I officially suck at driving. Being such a newbie at this, I shouldn't expect to be perfect, and I don't. It's just that I was so not confident in driving before that, after I tested out my 'driving skills', I'm even less confident about driving now.

I have to say, though, the car my 'rents own is like a frickin' truck. It's not a car, shouldn't even be called a car. Yeah, it's really great and all but, do I really have to do my practice hours in it? I think I'm gonna crash it. I really do. I almost crashed it into the garage door and my dad had a bird. Then, after backing it in and out of the driveway a couple of times, I'm thinking tomorrow is going to be close to a complete disaster.

I wish I had more experience with driving a car instead of trying it out the day before my BTW (behind the wheel). I kept asking my mom if we could go to a big parking lot (with absolutely NO CARS) and practice driving. She was all like, "No, I want you to have a fresh mindset and learn the techniques from a professional driver." Um...hello? Licensed drivers are professional drivers! It's not fair! Here I am, going into a driving lesson totally unprepared when some of my friends have somewhat good driving experiences and they don't even have their permits yet!! Come on!!

Ugh, wish me luck tomorrow (er, today). I'll need it...a lot of it.

WTYL,
