I totally did not wake up this morning, thinking that today would be the day that I'd start driving. Let me tell you: it's a great experience. I feel like I've made the final step from child to adult. I'M SOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!

My parents took me to the Torrey Pines High School parking lot to show me the very basics of driving. They told me about shifting from P to R (park to reverse) and lots of other stuff. My dad did most of the talking. Normally, I get really nervous when he talks for some reason... like I'm gonna do SOMETHING wrong. But I didn't!... do too many stupid things... I was shaking a lot, too.

We just kept going along in circles from one row to the next.

An important lesson learned from today was that the Gas AND ESPECIALLY the Parking brakes are QUITE sensitive. haha

The only really dumb mistake I did, while parking, was that I hit the gas for a split second instead of the brake. Ha.... well... we didn't hit anything... thank goodness, but it did give my parents mild heart attacks (i'm sure).

YAAAAAAAAAAAH! I'M SOOOOOOO HAPPY! Driving is fun.
