I want to preface this by saying that I have not watched the new Supernatural yet, and probably won't until about 4:00, because my dad's working and I'm getting a flu shot at 3:30 so DONT SPOIL IT PLZ
Okay now that that's done
So I took my driving test today and I just wanna talk about how it went.
The first part is a computer test with 40 questions. You need 32 right to pass. I skipped 7, got 31 right, and for 2 wrong, so it looped back around to the skipped ones. I thought it would be pretty easy and I only skipped them because I wasn't positive I knew the answer, but I was pretty sure.
And then I got the first one wrong
But I figured I'd shake it off and get one more
And then I got the second one wrong
And then I knew I was toast
But I got the next one so I passed in under 10 minutes, even though they give you 40
Then I had to actually drive. I was literally shaking from the second I got my time to test to well after the test was done. I get so freaking worried up over this type of thing, and the fact that if I got it wrong I'd have to wait then days to take it again really freaked out.
Then the guy sat down next to me and I turned the radio off and I put the car in drive and something seemed odd but I didn't want him to know so I just kinda rolled with it and I hit the gas and whoops apparently the engine wasn't actually on and the radio was just going because the car was only half on. That's right, bitches. I hadn't even moved the car and I already majorly fucked up.
So I kinda awkwardly laughed it off and said I was super nervous and the guy was cool with it (and for the record he legit looks like a super villain so the fact that he was nice kinda freaks me out)
And so I drove and I don't remember exactly how it went but there's the long section that any sane person would go ~45 mph on but the speed limit is 30 mph so that was rough so I spent more time exaggerating my constant mirror checks and staring at the speedometer than looking at the road and I got up to 34 mph but that wasn't awful
Apparently I went through two school zones (and didn't know it) and I went 30 on both but the speed limit was 20 because it's a school zone and when he told me that at the end I was like ??? but that only counts during opening and closing times??? and apparently that's not true so I was lied to (but I think he took my word for it when I said my driver's ed teacher never made that specification)
There was one part where I was turning and he never told me to turn just to get in the lane and I didnt realize I was turning until the guy in front of me moved and I saw the arrows on the road and so I kinda panicked and moved into the wrong lane but when he said it at the end I half-assed an explanation cuz I was still shaken from having to test and I made sure to use the term "lane continuity" to sound smart because I paid attention in driver's ed (haha no I didn't but he doesn't have to know)
And I started slowing for a stop sign but then forgot why I was slowing so I sped up a lil bit then remembered the stop sign and low-key slammed the breaks and he mentioned that at the end too and I was like ...
And we turned into a two lane road where both lanes go in opposite directions right in front of a school and on my right was a line of parked school and on the left a bus was coming and turning to their right so they had to swing left (basically the bus was low-key in my lane) so I stayed more to the right instead of hitting the bus and the driver guy literally grabbed my wheel and turned it because he thought I was gonna hit the cars parked on the side of the road and I was very adamant in my explanation because I had fucked up far too many times and was about to cry
Also I hit a curb in a turn at some point which I think is supposed to be an automatic fail
And then THAT MOTHERFUCKER MAKES ME BACK INTO A SPACE and I'm like bitch WHAT I practiced pulling FORWARD into spaces on Wednesday after dance in the Walmart parking lot but I can't back into a space!
But I did it and it wasn't awful (even if my technique sucked I still ended in the lines completely sooooo)
And as soon as I parked the car I'm like "So I'm guessing I failed."
And so he started talking about what I did wrong and I gave my explanations and all that and
HE FUCKING PASSED ME WHAT THE FUCK I GOT MY LICENSE TODAY
I'm convinced he wants me to kill someone because I should not have gotten that shit.
He probably realized how freaking nervous I was and gave me the benefit of the doubt. According to the lady who did the pic, I was right on the edge of passing, so it was entirely his choice to let me pass or fail, and I think he forgave something I did (the lane continuity I think?) so I should not have passed. Also I'm thinking he only picked backing in because he knew it was hard and if I could do it I'd get my license and if I couldn't I wouldn't get it and I did it and I think that might be why he gave it to me
So yeah I'm officially a licensed individual
Also I'm waiting on a call from Aeropostale which I'm thinking will come today because it's the first time I said is be able to work since I turned the application in so they probably waited until today so I have a few hours probably. I had to figure out how to set up my voicemail too so that took three different websites and a lot of time -_- and my mom wouldn't let me set it as "I'm sorry, the old Katie can't come to the phone right now. Leave a message!" and I'm a lil disappointed. I might change it to "This is Katie's voicemail. Make your voice a mail," like Cas after I get my call and don't have anything important that I need a good voicemail for.
So yee that's my life I'm officially starting to adult
