So I went to the DMV yesterday morning…early, that is, I wasn’t about to take a huge chance of having to wait hours. And as it turned out, I didn’t have to wait that long, because it wasn’t that busy, at least when I got there. What happened was, I checked in, showed them what I needed to show them, waited for my number to be called, got called, then waited in line, got to a counter, took a vision test, and took my driving test. I did better than I thought I would do on the driving test, though I was shaking for a bit during it all. Everything went okay, which is always a great thing.
Starting yesterday, I am officially a licenced driver, and after years of having a learners permit (don’t ask, lol), this accomplishment is a big deal. Of course, I have to go on my dad’s car insurance now, which can be considered a financial downside, but other than that, I am really happy about now having my licence. It is time, when you really think about it. But things happen when they are meant to happen.
That said, I’m not too sure whether or not this begins a new chapter in my life. Traditionally, something huge, maybe dramatic, and profound is supposed to inaugurate a new chapter (or more) in someone’s life. I guess that if I feel somewhat grown up about now having earned the privilege to drive, that could be considered profound and huge.
In other news, I’ve officially come up with the name for my latest story: The Doll. It makes sense, because, well…I can’t spill too much yet since I am still writing it and technically not done yet, and plus, at least to me, it looks too good to spoil. So I’ll wait until it’s about finished. Of course, there are still some edits that do need to be made, obviously.
