My condition can be cured but can be managed now thank goodness.
-------------------
Other than that, I have been trying to get my drivers license. I started the foreign license transfer procedure, and I took the driving portion today. Here's what went down:
I drove amazingly well considering i havent had too much experience controlling a manual with my left hand. I was relaxed and following directions. I dont know the course at all and it can be random, no point remembering a course. Im used to driving unfamiliar roads.
Well i finished the course but failed. He said i drove very well. But i went just a little too far past 1 stop line... not even past the sign. Geez. and went a little over that turning diamond line thing. I thought maybe a few points would be taken off, with a chance to pass. Usually if you fail, you gotta return immediately. Well its rare to pass the first time. So i know what to be careful of now. Other than that everything was perfect, changing lines, extra confirmation at turns, crank, S-curve, etc.
I had a strict teacher for practice to get used to left hand control, and course expectation.
I know what to do now, so If i dont pass next time, it must be a money thing. Lol. I hear so many stories about that and how its almost impossible to pass the first try.
The girl in front of me had almost no idea how to control a manual. I have no idea why she doesn't take automatic transmission test.
I was afraid to be in the car with her. The car was jerky, she ran over curbsides, late signal and lane changes, car stalling, driving on the wrong side of the road...running red lights... He was nice enough to let her finish but i would have appreciated returning quickly....
She was even confusing the turn signal with the windshield wipers a few too many times. Seriously automatic has less stuff for you to worry about. She didn't even remember how to start the car. he told her, push the clutch in. 'oh you mean this thing?' lol.
The guy behind me when I was taking my test didn't notice any technical mistakes. basically i didn't make any, It was his second time. He passed! So i hope i can pass next time!
I will take the test again on June 11th.
After that, still got the motorcycle test.
Another guy I know took his manual test at a different center. The proctor was like wow, you are driving this thing smooth as hell. You should be a taxi driver. Oh, but you still fail. hahah
Good to see you back blogging! Im happy to hear you're feeling a little better.
