I’m new to driving, I got my temps back in February, and so today was maybe my 10th or 11th time practicing although admittedly my first time in a couple weeks. Point being that today I finally did. Earlier today in an honors chemistry lab I accidentally got some silver nitrate crystals on my left hand therefore my left is now covered in tiny little black stars as if I was writing furiously with a ballpoint pen- which to be fair, I was, since I had an SAQ in AP World and I got all three questions answered. So today I had no homework by some incredibly lucky coincidence where the Honors Chemistry, Honors Algebra II, and AP World (Honors English III never gives out homework; the trademark of any good Advanced English class is that it’s too easy to ever require any homework that can’t be completed in under thirty seconds) gods all decided I was worthy of a day without any homework. Anyway, today I got to spend some time driving, and I put on this album as I drove with my mom to the park. I went at a good neighborhood speed of 15 mph average, stopped at the right places 90% of the time, eased into my breaks and only mixed up the brake and the accelerator while in a parking lot one time for two seconds. The only real difficulties were this crowd of fourth graders all playing basketball who, as kids often do, didn’t really seem to pay much mind to the 2 ton death mobile taking up the entire street since the people in my neighborhood are too stupid to know how to park in their garages and/or driveways and the roads are hardly two lanes (and too stupid to know how to drive without texting- or should I say, text without driving). At some point I barely made out a car which had right of way, and because of this inconvenience of having neighbors who don’t know what driveways are for, I ended up coming to a full stop at a weird angle since this person on the right side was parked only one empty car’s worth of space from the stop sign. But other than that, it was moderately uneventful, as most of my drives are. I guess it was my third time driving with music, if that counts for anything!
