Driving update (how thrilling):

-Did not drive downtown in the dark. We'll be doing that tomorrow instead.
-DID drive to another neighbourhood, which necessitated driving on a major road in the dark (that's a first). Felt like I was going to throw up, but didn't.
-Obtained gasoline. Only done that a couple of times. Did not hit anything while pulling up to the gas station.
-Practiced parallel parking Several Times. Apparently I'm actually kind of decent at it now.

Aaand I made that driving lesson appointment. So, on Friday, I'll go out with the instructor again, and see if, in her Professional Opinion, I'm ready for the test. Hoo boy.

Jesus fuck, I hate driving. I'll be glad when this whole learning process thing is over with. :V (And then I will have plenty of other things to worry about...)

Good luck! I don't comment on your driving updates much, but I'm basically always silently rooting for you. (Especially since I'm pretty terrified of cars and driving, and have not yet learned how to drive because of that. It's weirdly comforting to see someone else who's Not A Fan pushing past that and doing so well. <3)

Ahhh, thanks. <3 It's really important that I learn to do this, so that I have more options of places to live when I move out, so... ONWARD.

Being terrified of driving is a reasonable fear, to a degree, since... it is dangerous. But the key words are "to a degree", of course. >.o

*hugs* I am rooting for you too! I still hate driving at night (especially because my car is pretty low to the ground so everyone's headlights always seem to be right in my face) but it gets easier.

Thanks mate <3 I'm sure it will get easier! Eventually! But in the meantime... There will be some freaking out. xD Or maybe a lot.
