A Crazy Month
In the case of taking courses over quota this semester, I made a crazy decision, which is enrolling in driving school! I have wanted to learn to drive for a long time. However, because there were a lot of courses, basketball practices, basketball games, and some other reasons that take time, I didn’t put this desire into practice until there was only one semester left.
To me, it’s too troublesome to learn to drive in my hometown. Therefore, even though I am still trapped in many credits, I just went to enroll. Then guess what? From Monday to Tuesday, my classes all start at 10 o’clock, except an 8-o'clock class on Friday. As a result, my driving classes are scheduled for 6:50a.m. every day.
How early!
Initially, I was interested in everything the instructor taught me, and looked forward to taking the class. Then after a week, my honeymoon period is over. The tiredness of being woken by the 6:25a.m alarm clock every morning far outweighs the joy of learning. I started to play some podcasts and raps when I was in the car and
in the long queue for practicing driving. This did help a bit, which added a little more difference while I circled around the same route.
Driver’s license test includes a written exam, track test, and road test. Unlike everyone who had confidence in the written exam, I was so worried that I would fail the test. The standard for passing the written exam is 85 points, so getting a score over 90 is more guaranteed.
But the thing is, most of the scores I got were 82.5 points! Out of thirteen tests I took, there were only three times I got more than 90, and two times of three were even done in the morning before I took the real written exam.
Then it was time for the exam. I sat on the seat with an uneasy heart and started to answer. Fortunately, I passed it with 92.5 points, thank God! I solved the most difficult part!
Next, what I needed to face was the track test and the road test. Those two were not a threat to me getting my driver's license, so I became a legal car driver after them, which made me wear a smile on my lips all day. This is the best graduation gift I give myself!
