Driving test is tomorrow at 9:17 AM. I am nervous for sure, but I don’t want to be. I’ve been trying to tell myself that it’s just a test and that it’s not the end of the world if I fail. Worst that can happen is my license just gets pushed back by about 2 months, and I’m not in a rush to get my driving license, it’s not like I depend on driving. My life will likely be the same for months when I get the license.
My last lesson I had wasn’t great. I did do a few stupid things but I don’t know why. It’s probably because I hadn’t drove in two weeks as I was sick the previous week, so I was a bit rusty. I hope it’s not sunny tomorrow morning, the sun really blinds me sometimes and it makes it a lot harder for me. It’s not even the sun directly, it’s the sun shining on the road that dazzles me.
Anyway, I just keep telling myself to take things slow on the test. Double check the relevant mirrors and blind spots and continue calmly. When it comes to manoeuvres, such as parking, take it slow and look all around you. Remember that person in the car park, they came out of nowhere, so always look around you. And if you are misaligned on your parking, don’t worry. Just drive forward and realign. It’s only a minor fault and you can get up to 15.
On an emergency stop, press on the brake fast and sharp, but don’t slam your foot down. Before you move off, look all around you then move off when safe.
Enough talk about driving, it’s really getting to me. Even though I try to convince myself that I can just retake it in a month or two, it’s still nerve racking.
I spent ages last night working on my second song for this new album. I had two synths with similar melodies and I was listening to it back.
