And you want to steer.. but I'm shifting gears..

I finished with my midterms and major papers. I got a few assignments left here and there for November, but I don't need to worry about anything for at least ONE week. Phew! I hope everyone had an awesome Diwali and Halloween. I don't know what happened to people this year for Halloween. I was home from 7:00 pm onwards till the entire night. I got two door bells. Seriously? I live in the most brown neighborhood EVER! But kids always go crazy for Halloween and this year it wasn't all that.. at least not for me.

Anyway, I realize I should probably booked my driving test now. Remember, I wrote that blog about how big of a deal driving is to me? Because of the psychological impact of my mom's accident? Well, I drive now. I have been for the last months, without a license but always in my mom in the passenger's seat. I did sneak out the car once without anyone's permission lol but it wasn't for anything huge, it was to grab a bagel from Tim Hortons when I was too lazy to walk, lol.

I still have poor observation. Here is why you should never discontinue your lessons before you give your test. I am not in the habit of checking the mirror like every five seconds as the instructor said. I don't even keep one car's distance when I am stopping at the lights. And I still confused sometimes with left turns. I am gonna say my turns have gotten better, I keep up with the speeds and rules. But my observation is still pretty poor. I took my lessons back in AUGUST. At this point, my instructor is probably very pissed off because her payment is still pending, which she will only receive after the test. I have about three lessons left and what I don't know at all is PARKING. I really really, and I mean REALLY need to practice parking. The only parking I can actually attempt is parallel. I suck at back parking. And the thing is, I haven't even practiced it since August. But driving two months with mom has made me much more confident. In that case, I don't entirely regret booking my test this late. But I wanna get it over with before there's a snowfall here. I am gonna call my instructor tomorrow and switch to a male instructor just for the parking lessons, not because I am sexist but I think the lady is already quite pissed off with me :$
Let's see how the lessons go and hopefully I can book my test sometime in the beginning of December (before exams!)

I hope the week goes well for you all! :)
