JUST KEEP SWIMMING. I MEAN, DRIVING.

[yuuago]

Every day that I spend time thinking about how much I hate my living situation, I'm going to make Absolute Sure that I get some driving practice done on that same day. (Allowing, of course, for availability of supervision).

Considering that I think about this a lot, it looks like I'll be working on this... a lot.

Ugh.

There are a million other things I'd rather do with my time! But the only way to learn it is by doing it! Repeatedly! And often! Ad nauseum! Even when I really, really, really don't want to!

I swear, as soon as I have my license, I'll stop whining about this. Promise. Cross my heart. :D

In order to fix my current living situation, I need the following:

Driving license -> Obtain vehicle -> Obtain apartment -> Move out

And it's driving me nuts that none of these are quick things that I can fix on my own. Or, well, the license is the worst, because I literally can't do it on my own, since I can't legally practice by myself. The other stuff, I could probably manage it if I absolutely had to, even though it would be nerve-wracking as all hell because of anxiety and such as, but the driving is just the worst. ABSOLUTE WORST. I HATE DRIVING, AND I HATE DRIVING PRACTICE.

I am consoling myself with the fact that after I do have that license and my own vehicle, I will never have to wait at a bus stop in -30C ever again. Unless I want to, of course. But the point is, I'll be able to make that decision.

As someone who also had a long, challenging road to getting her license, can I be your driving cheerleader? :D

You can do it!

YEAAAAH GO YUU

I know the feeling of hating driving, altho if I was driving a huge car I'd probably feel better about it... a jeep with monster tires. That would be good. Then I'd survive any crash better than whatever I crash into, unless it's a wall or something. But. YOU CAN DOO EEEEET!!!

Always glad to hear from other people who hate it. I'm surrounded by people who seem to think it's so easy, it's like... am I crazy? No? Maybe?

Not gonna lie, I'm thinking about getting a jeep. They're bigger than what I'd originally had in mind, but they're at least smaller than the damn SUV that I've been practicing on, and that sweet all-wheel drive is very appealing considering what crap winters we have.... Buuuut I've never driven one and it's going to be a while before this is something that I need to address, so I'm trying not to think about it much.

DRIVING IS THE WORST
