Driver's Ed.

I passed my driver's test! It's not like I'm going to get a car very soon, but I'm almost ready to have one. I just have to have my learners permit for a total of six months, pass the Range, and drive 40 hours with my parents. I still don't feel to confident about driving though. I didn't do so well on the test. To fail; you had to miss 20 points, and I missed 13. What's worse is that we didn't even do the hard stuff. We didn't go on the freeway, we didn't do 2-point-turns or 3-point-turns, we didn't try parking in diagonal parking spaces, nothing. All we did was turn left and right at the lights, change lanes, and parked on the curb. (not on a hill) I still missed 13 points. I feel really stupid about it, but everyone's like "Hey, at least you passed. You'll get better in the future." (Easy for you to say) I just wish I had more practice. I didn't have much time with dad, and with all the stuff that has happened with him and Mom, I don't know how to feel about going over to his house. My 40 hours has to be with my parents though, so what am I going to do?

You can still go with Dad, bud. You aren't really going to be able to go with mom anyways since her car is a stick. Then, there is always Kjersti and Jay and me to help you along too. And you will get better with more practice. It just takes some time. Hang in there bud.

Geoff, driving is a really hard thing to learn. There's a lot to remember, it's really stressful to learn, and a lot of it has to do with instinct and anticipating what other drivers will do! So there's no reason to be too hard on yourself, and you don't need to be ashamed of needing more practice! When I was first learning to drive with a friend of mine I would be doing fine and then turn onto a road and start driving on the wrong side! And then we all know about the cute ticket of going ONTO the OFF ramp! I totally take the cake for pre-drivers licence embarassment. So don't stress. You can drive some more with me and Jay.
