rfmcdonaldWell.
Today, I got my instruction permit. It's my third time I've gone for it. (100% on sign-recognition, 92% on the questions.)
The first time, I was 16 and I didn't want to do it. I got an excuse to opt out when I lapsed into depression (again) and just kept rescheduling the driving practice.
The second time was last April, when I was 21. I liked it, and I practiced driving with Dad over the summer, but it just ... lapsed. It was school, it was my growing (yet inchoate) concern over the future, it was the distraction of 9/11 ... Let's just say that it expired at the end of April.
This is the third time, and I want it. I really do want it, and I will get it.
I suppose I'm just entering my adolescence now, that my life has entered the right stage. That, well, it's natural now, not forced as it was earlier.
