Driving School Day #1

Today was my first day of driving school. Every Sunday, for six weeks, I have to sit in a classroom for four hours. I thought it would be terrible, like, wasting my day when I could be doing other things, but it wasn't that bad.

The teacher was really nice, he was loud and talkative, kept us interested. He knew how to keep teenagers interested in what he had to say.

But the whole classroom, aside from me, and my two friends, no one else talked, unless he asked them a direct question, so everything was kind of awkward and quiet most of the time. But it was still fun, and he didn't mind when people asked questions, or laughed, or chewed gum. (thank goodness) we couldn't use cellphones, but I didn't mind.

I wouldn't say it was the best thing I had ever done, but I think I can tolerate it for five more weeks. Hopefully...he tried to scare us all out of wanting a licence, I can say I was a bit scared about all these people who died. And I can't say I agreed when it said that a seventeen year old has a better chance of not getting into an accident then a sixteen year old does. What if the seventeen year old just got their permit? What if the sixteen year old has had it for longer than that? I didn't see that was fair, but I didn't get to say my point, but it was fine, because we moved on. And we all agreed that we were inexperienced drivers, and we weren't good. He even admitted that he wasn't the best driver. Because no one is perfect. The end. I liked my teacher, we only have him for one more week, then we get a different guy. I'm hoping the other guy is cool too.

Also, my homework assignments are:

1. To write down everything my parents do wrong.

2. Draw out the car I'm taking my driver's test in, and knowing where all the parts are.

My mom kept asking me what I was doing while she drove. (hehe)

I hope everyone had a great Sunday! Even if school gets called off here, I'm still doing school. Bleh.
