Today marked my final driving lesson. 10 hours of driving after a long 15 hours of classroom study.
Today also marked my driving test. Leading up to it, I was nervous. I want so badly to pass so I can visit B at work during the long weekend. During my lesson, we practiced a lot of parking, especially parallel which is what I was scared would cause me to fail.
I won't say I mastered the method, but I certainly felt confident. I was completely calm going into my test.
It lasted less than 20 minutes. As expected, I did struggle with my parking but I pulled it off and I was getting excited to finally get my license.
We pulled up to the registry and the instructor turned to me and said "Well, it was close, but you failed. Do you know what you did wrong?"
I didn't.
He told me I stopped traffic at a corner where I was to turn right. Even though there was a truck beside me and I inched up to see if there was any traffic coming from the left, I had the right of way and I shouldn't have hesitated because there was a vehicle behind me waiting.
I was confused but immediately asked when I could reschedule. The last thing I wanted to do was argue and leave a bad taste in his mouth for my next test.
It's been years and I've finally found the courage to get this done in my life so I'm determined to see it through.

My next test is Saturday at 12:30!
I'm hoping that will be the day and then I will come home and pack up Jax and head out to Canmore to spend the remainder of the weekend with B.
