Driving

A couple weeks ago I obtained my driving permit. Driving has always been an excitement for me in my life. For as long as I can remember I have always been counting down. From the years then as time passed it was only months then only days until I could drive. I didn't get my permit on my birthday because I had marching band with Davis High School. Then my parents were at work and didn't get off until the DMV place had closed. So it took me a whole good two weeks until I could get my permit.

When I was filling out the paper work and doing all the tests I was more worried about not passing the eye examine more than the driving test itself. Even though I had only skimmed through the driving book. Anyways when I did the eye exam/ test I passed with flying colors. Well I guess not exactly with fly colors but you know what I mean. So after the paperwork was all done I was sent to go take the test. The test was on a touch screen computer thing, I’m not sure how to explain it, you will just have to see for yourself. So I completed the test and I got 86% on my first time. The lowest you can get to pass is 80% so I did well enough to get my permit.

My first time driving I took my little brother to his soccer game. My dad didn’t feel comfortable with me doing left hand turns on busy streets so he drove on the busy, main streets and then let me take over once the traffic was less traffic. I only drove a little bit that first day but it was really, really, really, really, really, and many more “reallys” fun.

I have gotten a lot more practice sense then. I have driven on busy and congested roads, but I don’t want to drive on the highway or the freeway just yet, I know that I’m not ready for that. But I did go 35 m/h once and that my friend was just about the funniest thing I have ever done. I can’t wait until I can drive on the freeway and the highway. I wish this song was on the radio one of the times I have been driving it would have been so cool.

Well, life's like a road that you travel on

There's one day here and the next day gone

 Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand

 Sometimes you turn your back to the wind

There's a world outside every darkened door

Where Blues won't haunt you anymore

For the brave are free and lovers soar

Come ride with me to the distant shore

We won't hesitate

 To break down the guarding gate

There's not much time left today, yeay

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it

 All night long

 If you're going my way, I wanna drive it

All night long

Through all these cities and all these towns

It's in my blood and it's all around

 I love now like I loved you then

 This is the road and these are the hands

From Mozambique to those Memphis nights

The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights

They knock me down

And back up again

You're in my blood

I'm not a lonely man

There's no load I can't hold

 The road's so rough this I know

I'll be there when the light comes in

Just tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it

 All night long If your going my way,

I wanna drive it All night long

Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, yeah

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it

 All night long (mmmm yeah)

If your going my way, I wanna drive it

All night long

There was a distance between you and I

 (between you and I) A misunderstanding once

But now, we look it in the eye

Ooooo...Yeah!

There ain't no load that I can't hold

 The road's so rough this I know

I'll be there when the light comes in

 Just tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it

All night long (all night long, yeah hey)

If your going my way, I wanna drive it

All night long

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it

All night long

If your going my way, I wanna drive it

All night long

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it

 All night long

If your going my way,

 I wanna drive it All night long

Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, yeah
