Wow, today was really a big blur to me. Hmm I wonder what it's like to drive those awesome babe magnets. Yes, I'm talking about the cars. I wonder what it's like to even drive a car. I remembered sitting on my dad's lap while he sat on the driver seat of our Proton Wira car when I was little. I grabbed a hold of the steering wheel, picturing myself driving across the world I call my own. Vroom vroom! But, years later I found out that it's not easy getting behind the wheel. You don't cruise along the streets all relaxed when you're driving. Except of course, if you're used to it. So when I felt the hard material of the steering wheel on my hands and I saw that the whole machine that is the car is all in my control, I asked myself "Can I do this?". Can I possibly be able to handle a car as heavy as 3 tonnes? But then I stifled a laugh and assured myself that if Paris Hilton, who is arguably the most intellectually-challenged socialite ever, can get herself to drive a functioning automobile, then so can I. I said to myself that I have nothing to worry about.
It took me awhile to decide whether I'm going to learn how to drive at this time. I mean, I still have to find a job and I'm concerned that the job I might get will intrude the schedule of my driving lessons. My dad asked me if I wanted to get a license and I meekly said yes, and you can tell that I wasn't thrilled as I was months before. The thought of me driving, it doesn't click in my mind right away. And believe me, if I know the reason behind my doubts, I'd tell you. So anyway, doubts aside, I registered with Rina's Driving School yesterday and I went to the driving course early today. It's like an introduction to road signs, the laws of driving and safety measures when handling a vehicle. After the course, students could sit for a computerized theory test if they're ready for it. And then, students will be able to attend the practical courses, which involve us (finally!) learning ways on how to maneouvre an automobile. Did I mention the course took 5 hours? Yeah, you bet I didn't. I got ready at 8 am cos they said a guy should pick me up at 8.30. So I waited, and he arrived at 9.30 am. He was a speed animal! Totally. I guess they forgot the part that the course actually started at 10 am. There were so many people registering for the course, and I even saw a few of my ex-classmates. I was relieved of course. Because frankly, being in an unfamiliar environment makes me feel uncomfortable and lonely. So, I was there for a good 5 hours, only taking a break for praying and lunch.
And now I don't know if I'm ever ready to take the test. But you know, if I can handle Biology, Chemistry and Physics, then I can ace this one, right? Well, I'm not so sure. The teacher scared me to the bone. He made me fear the possibility of me failing the test. Well, who isn't sacred of that? Wish me luck :p
