my driver's license experience

It all started in the summer when I had started driving school. It took me over five times for me to pass the written test. but I finally passed, and then I was onto driving school. driving school was a month-long, It was a total of ten classes. It was so boring, I wanted to go to sleep so bad but I knew I needed to stay focused. the only thing the kept me to stay awake was being able to take a break and able to get a snack. the classes were two hours long but went fast for some days. once I completed driving school it was to In cars.

I started in cars in November, it was a total of three sessions. the first day was so tiring, I was doing nothing but driving for two hours. It was times that I just wanted to go to sleep while driving. the second day was learning to drive on the freeway. I was nervous for my first time being on the freeway. and the last day I was maneuverability, and that was honestly the hardest thing during in cars. so once that was over I had to wait for another until I was able to take the test. one month later on January 26 was the day I took the test. so once I started the test, first was maneuverability and I never practice before then, so I was nervous. I failed the maneuverability and I passed the driving portion. so I waited about A month half later so I could practice on maneuverability. on March 5, was the day I officially got my driver's license.

My Weekend Activities

To start the weekend, I went to my friend's justice house to hang out and play video games. I spend the night for one night and left early the morning. once my mom picked me up, I went to practice maneuverability for my driver's test I was taking that day. I struggled at first and then I started to get the hang of it. after that, I felt confident enough to take the test, once I got there the person in front of took the last spot for the driven test part. I was kinda upset I wasn't able to take it but it gave me more time to keep practice. after that, I went home and took like a three-hour nap.

after I woke up from the nap I was trying to figure what I was going to do the rest of the day. and I almost forgot, I was invited to my friends London birthday party. So I decided to go to London's sweet 16 birthday party. I got dressed and but the funny things is Josh was driving, we were almost two hours late. So once we arrived all the food was gone so were hungry for two hours. It was pretty nice party and I enjoyed myself. after Me, Josh and Jaiden went to buffalo wild wings to eat. and the drive there was fun, I drove and it was funny. so we had to end the night because Josh had to be home.
