Driving Lesson One: 2 hours

So driving isn't THAT bad all things considered. The instructor arrived at my house knocked on the front door as well as rang on the doorbell. I sat in the passenger side for a bit while she went over a couple things then showed me the 3 point turn then she parked on the side of the road and was like 'Let's Switch.' Which left me little to no time to panic so I hopped in the driving side and was shown where some things were- how to work the handbrake, steering, hazard lights just the mere basics.

I tend to over accelerate then sort of panic and sometimes when doing a turn I step on the break instead of the accelerate which is a big 'no' but hey as long s I learn from the mistakes

Next lesson is tentatively for June the 1st

Learning To Drive

I am having my first driving lesson tomorrow, well later today now. I finished up the in class stuff on May Saturday the 14th and I need to complete 15hours of driving lessons (as paid by my parents). It was rather a long ordeal to get hold of the driving instructor partly because I don’t like the telephone... anyways I was supposed to go on Monday the 16th of this month from 7oclock to 9o’clock but the lady (my instructor is a woman) came down with a 24hour sickness and rescheduled at a later date but an earlier time 10’clock to maybe 12’oclock or 1’oclock depending if I’m up for it.

Honestly I'm feeling rather anxious and slightly terrified. I’ve had dreams where I am driving a car from the mailbox to my house (which is really close by) and I manage to bugger that up my foot was literally glued to the pedal. I don’t believe I’m prepared as I should be for the lesson for some strange reason; it’s just that nagging sensation in the back of my head.
