At least that's the way I like to think of it. Anyone who knows me will be well aware of the fact that I have been eagerly anticipating this day for YEARS. And that's an understatement. I have literally been counting down the days for months, so you can imagine how shocked I was when I woke up this morning and realized that I was down to 0 days!!!
After the last minute panic of realizing my driving test was 30 minutes earlier than I thought and trying (unsuccessfully) to change the time of my pre-exam driving lesson, we left at 9:05am this morning and drove around town doing some last-minute parking and 3-point-turn practice. Then I had a lesson with a very competent and encouraging instructor which was cut short so I could return to the RTA in time to take the exam.
The exam itself went reasonably well; I wasn't nervous, but was quite stressed and felt terrible to start with. It got better, though, and by the end of the test I was feel pretty confident (except for when I had to undertake for the first time ever - in the exam!).
Fortunately I PASSED!!!!! As if that wasn't enough to send me over the moon, when I had driven over to meet Mum at the Lolly Shack, I found out that my new car was ready to be picked up!! So I received a double blessing, one of which was a totally unexpected surprise.
Here he is; doesn't he look handsome?
I haven't decided on a name for him yet. Suggestions welcome!
That's right. P PLATES!!! =)
