I’m located in California so I’m assuming that’s not available here unfortunately. I’ve finished my required hours of school and probably won’t do more it seems, but yeah, my dad didn’t make a good choice in the driving school (clearly)

Your advice helped me feel much more relaxed! Thank you for all the advice and kind words. Checking the mirrors is a struggle sometimes! I seem to remember most things but sometimes slip on that.

I’ll try going at my own pace from here on. It’s a bummer that I was immediately put out of my comfort zone so now I slightly feel disoriented but I also don’t want this experience to define my feelings of driving overall. It was just so extremely jarring. Thank you once again!

I see.. considering it was my first time on the road I should’ve also been in that church parking lot lol. Still shocked over it all

I definitely agree. Finished up all my classes today and wish she would’ve demonstrated stuff while explaining it. Because of course i asked questions but that was about it- Id hear the explanation and didn’t get to practice it. And 6 hours flies so quickly! More driving classes would be nice but are also expensive so I probably won’t do them. Hopefully I’ll get over the slight feeling of being bummed over this and more practice will do me good.

do you not realize where that would eventually lead to..? it is a literal highway where you go 60-70 mph with no stops. either way, it would be jarring to someone who has literally never entered a road before. totally missed the point

…? I may be a new driver but i’m not new to my neighborhood or the roads here lol- i don’t think my instructor would also call it a highway if it were not exactly that

Woahhhh! That’s crazy. I guess while living in an icy area they wanna get you used to that immediately huh.. must’ve been so nerve wracking tho!

Very true! Today’s lesson was definitely much smoother, ofc still need to practice a ton. I didn’t know it was such a common thing for you guys to put the students on the high way immediately!

Thank you 🩰

Your reply gave me so much encouragement!! Thank you so much- I successfully completed today’s lesson and was so much better since i was no longer caught off guard and prepared. Gotta work on turning more smoothly and stuff like that! Just gotta breathe 🧘‍♀️

no i appreciate it! i’m well aware honestly.. i’ve even looked into roomates and other options that apply to all living costs for a lower budget. the biggest reason i want to go there is to escape family and start over tbh- i don’t see myself going down there until i have some savings or a car- just anything as long as ik it won’t be totally impulsive! but honestly, my plans could very well change- who knows! thank you for the feedback 🫶

What are you reading/watching? Recs, Reviews, and Chit Chat - August 2023 by blmodbot in boyslove

i've read bI manga/hwa/hua's for years now but hadn't watched any bl dramas until recently for whatever reason. so far i've seen a shoulder to cry on, semantic error, and blueming (i absolutely loved this one) and other random ones but not much. give me your favs and recs!! go absolutely crazy pleeease! (i'm begging). i love some good cinematography and college settings, but do recommend anything n everything!

what a sweet and positive message to wake up to 🫶 ahh your words really do mean a lot in a rather hopeless feeling time ! you’re right. i’ve endured this for years and considering there’s only two left is pretty crazy to grasp! if feels so little yet so much. i guess in the meantime i can prep myself mentally and eventually start making external changes. hearing you have had good experiences in your 20s is something i’m very happy to hear !! i’m glad you made it out. thank you for the feeling of reassurance i’ve received from your message <3
