Vroom

I accomplished one of my long time goals. I got my driving permit yesterday. I spent a little over 2hrs in the DMV, but got 19/20 questions correct and earned myself a permit. I was thrilled. I've wanted to learn how to drive for years. I always thought it would be so much fun, and it would bring more freedom. I didn't drive the day I got it because there was a bad snow storm blowing through. But today, I drove. My mom took me to a parking lot after it got dark. She told me how to move the wheel and shift into park and drive. Then she told me to do a loop around the lot. I took it slow, but I did it. I was so thrilled to drive. My mom made me repeat the loop numerous times and tried to get me to feel comfortable behind the wheel. My mom drives a larger vehicle (a GMC Terrain), so I felt small behind the wheel. But I finally was able to drive. Once the weather gets back to normal (in a couple days), my driving lessons will commence. My parents will teach me the basics and how to drive decently. Then when Spring arrives, I'm signing up for an official Driver's Ed class. I'm so excited. I wanted to message everyone I knew about how I got my permit. I thought of Leo and how happy he would be for me. I quickly left that thought behind. I never asked Kevin his opinion on my situation. I got shy. Maybe I'll muster up the courage to ask him soon. In the mean time, let me focus on driving. Vroom vroom.
