QotD: Road Trip

When was the last time you drove out of town?

I personally have never driven out of town. I have been driven by other people. I have only driven a car on a few rare occasions; those being the few times someone has thought to take me driving, or I thought to go driving. I'm 19 now and still no driver's license. :p

However...

I have taken and passed the visual and written tests, and I have an appointment to take my driving test on May 28th. FINALLY. I went to the DMV on Friday to take the written test, as the DMV has changed its policy and now allows walk-in testing. After I passed that, I waited for a bit and then was called up to schedule my appointment. Their earliest appointment was...today, actually, now that I look at the date! But I'm nowhere near ready to take the driving test. I've hardly driven at all! So I asked for a later date, and came up with May 28th.

I'd really like to reschedule it for May 26th, though, if I can manage it. It's only two days earlier, so it stills gives me a fair amount of time to practice driving. But, there is one distinct difference between the 26th and the 28th. The 28th is the day after Carolyn and my 2-year anniversay, and the 26th is the day before said anniversary. If I get my license the 26th, I can drive myself and Carolyn around to dinner and maybe a movie, or whatever we decide to do, without a chaperone, and without having to arrange for rides. It would be much more convenient, and much nicer on a personal level.

So I need to be thinking to myself, "Go out and drive! Go out and drive! Go out and drive!" all the time. I need to practice.

It just seems like I don't have the time to go out driving. Work and school take up most of my time during the week, and now that it's getting towards the end of the school year, I need time to work on my projects and papers, too. Bleh. I think I'll talk to my manager about cutting back my hours the next week or so, so that I have time to get everything done. But then I'll come back in full force for the summer! Full-time, all the way!

And now, time to work on the aforementioned projects and papers. Adios, amigos! :P
