Highway to Hell
Jul. 14th, 2012 04:43 pmHEY GUYS I GOT MY LEARNER'S PERMIT
TOTALLY STREET LEGAL NOW
(for a given value of street legal that means someone at least slightly more responsible and competent than me has to be sitting in the passenger seat at all times)
I'm actually still pretty ehhhhhh on the whole driving thing, honestly (and I find the idea of driving in traffic a bit petrifying, even if I have gotten quite good at the doing loops around the parking lot thing and have even, after a lot of frustration and sobbing on my part, more or less approximately mastered backing into a parking space) but I'm really happy that I passed my written driver's test. It's just nice to feel like I'm making project on my goal, even if I'm not super-excited about the end-goal itself. And depending on how well street practice goes, I think I'm still on track to meet my target of getting my license by the end of September-ish. I haven't decided yet when to let my grandma and aunts know - maybe not until I actually have my license. My dad's been pretty good about the vow of silence I made him swear, anyway.
Also, we celebrated by going out to lunch at this absolutely amazing little hole in the wall Chinese restaurant next to my grocery store, and now my fridge is full of leftover salt-and-pepper short ribs and pork belly with preserved vegetables. So that was a pretty awesome cap to my afternoon.
