I PASSED!!
Woo hoo! I actually have a piece of interesting news! Today is the fourth and final day of my extended long weekend - and the last day I will be allowed to take off from work (T_T) so I am enjoying it to the fullest. I'm really happy because this morning, at 9:50, I became the official holder of a G2 license! YaY! From now on, no more asking people to chauffeur me around Newmarket, no more annoying backseat drivers, hehehe....loveliness. The test itself was simple, thank goodness. It started with a left turn at the lights by the driving centre, a short trip down Yonge during which I had to change lanes a couple of times, a parallel park behind an old van, a park downhill which I pwnd, and a three-point turn. When we got back, he didn't even ask me to do a reverse park. All I had to do was swing into an empty space in a very empty parking lot. I guess in general, instructors never ask a student to perform every action on the list, just a select few that seem appropriate for the situation at hand. I still don't feel 100% confident driving solo but I have heard that such confidence comes with time and practice. :-)
Oh, and I'm finally feeling a bit better. I lost my voice for a couple of hours, and lethargy took over for most of yesterday, but nothing more drastic than that. ^^

Yayy! Congratulations Heather ^_^
I have a feeling you & Nick will be fighting over who gets the car now lol...
Thanks Trin! :-) It feels good to have that over with...but unfortunately I can't drive until I get back from Japan because my dad refuses to pay for only 3 months of insurance. Makes sense I suppose...and I'll prolly end up forgetting everything anyway, hehe. (Nick should be happy about that, lol) How was your long weekend? You should write about it ;-)
Ahh don't remind me =\ I'll get around to it one day... I keep thinking "oh that's not interesting enough to write about" .. and pretty soon 3 weeks has gone by lol.. guess I don't have a very interesting life? =P
But I will try harder.. school is settled & I have no more excuses not to write >_< btw I told Dany about your blog so you may be getting some comments from him soon!
Congratulations on getting your G2, Heather! I also didn't feel 100% confident when I first passed, but as soon as you just get yourself out on that road you should find that the confidence builds quickly! Just believe in yourself and your driving ability and I know you'll do great! It's such nice freedom to be able to drive yourself around. :)
Oh! and I read your review of the Count of Monte Cristo. I love that movie as well, saw it in theatres when it first came out. I also have to say that you are so eloquent when you write! Future author, perhaps??? :P
Thanks for reading my livejournal, I'll have to give you a shout-out in my next entry. I'll keep up with your blog now too! So post often!!! :D Good to hear from you.
