Waste of a Day

As promised, here is my Monday Defensive-Driver-Course update.

It took over an hour to get started. After twenty minutes of taking a mock test to show how little we knew (although we passed it?), we took a half hour break. We talked for another twenty minutes about unfair tickets and took another break. Watched a bit of video, had an hour and a half lunch. Chatted about filling up the gas tank while in a CAC vehicle, took another mock-test, took a break.

We took more break time than "class" time, the instructor was out of the room taking phone calls 80% of "class" time, and we got out an hour and forty five minutes early because we ran out of stuff to do.

Waste. Of. Day.

In other news, Misha Collins is my new hero:

Sorry to hear it! It's true the pre-driving info thingies are rarely very helpful. Yours sounds even more disastrous than mine was. Is this in Knoxville? The good news is the more you physically practice driving the more significant the improvement - you'll get to see and feel your progress. A pre-licensing course helps, but obviously it only goes so far. Also, part of my problem in having my permit for a few years before going for the test was that I eventually just drove to the same places all the time. I rarely challenged myself or drove for the sake of driving. It was when I made it into an adventure (/allowed myself to get lost and explore) that I felt more comfortable. So keep at it, Larky - we need to roadtrip someday, and we're gonna take the world by storm. :D
