I had my first "government sponsored" driving lesson yesterday. The instructor they sent was awesome; I felt so at ease with her. I think because she's used to working with grown-ups instead of teenagers she had a completely different approach and made small talk the entire time; she said "Look tell me if you find chatter distracting but I figure lessons should be enjoyable plus you're going to be driving with your child in the car from the get-go so chatter is probably going to be the norm" HA!!! I was so amused; the few lessons I've had in the past have been so uncomfortable and formal but instead this was a casual drive chatting away "Oh did you hear that place went for 1.7 million?" "You're joking, drive past again so we can have another look" lol. I was kinda shocked at the end of the hour to realise I'd just done all of that driving without being worried or nervous.
I think I just might get there this time (Oh wow won't that make a difference to my feeling "stuck"!!!!!!)
Yay!! I can see you driving and humming a merry tune with Michael Douglas asking you "Where are you taking me, human?" In the cat LOL dialect of course... ;)
Oh Melly!!! I am so pleased for you!!!! Congratulations!! You will be driving on your own before you know it!! It sounds like you got just the instructor that you needed!! When you have your license, you will have so much more independence. Look out world!!
