barney and me, part II

Just had my very first driving lesson ever -- and I'm still alive, Thank you God!! My instructor was awesome, very patient and we covered a lot of ground. We went out to Waldronville and did lots of turning and whatnot on wide streets with little cars around. But then, by golly, he made me drive out to Brighton!! Over a bridge!! At 80km/h!!! God really didn't mean for us to travel at such speeds!! LoL. Then when it couldn't get any worse (and when there were five cars trailing behind me), he made me turn around and go back... back to Waldronville, then all the way back to town!

It's all a blur now. I can't even remember the details. All I know is I'm back in the safety of my house. LoL. Man, you can't take your eyes off the road for one second! But, I have to admit, I'm kinda getting the hang of it, I think. It's even a wee bit... dare I say, fun? And I get to do it all over again Thursday. Hahaha...

So the original plan I had of eat-and-breathe-studying for everyday of my two-week break in order to put me in glorious stead for the looming exams at the end of the year? Yeah, not going too good. As in, I'll start tomorrow... hopefully.

Here's to another beautiful day -- have I mentioned that Dunedin is first equal for the greatest city in the world??
