I had the most awesome driving lesson yet today! Oh man! My instructor was this dude from Switzerland who used to be a race car driver... oh la la.
Ya, he was pretty amazing. Really smart actually and a crazy good way of teaching (including throwing himself against the back of the car).
He used sports and stuff like that in order to explain some driving concepts.
I'm just horrible at checking my blindspots, but I think it is having more than one constant instructor that is screwing me up because they all tell me different things. Like the dude today told me I had good motor skills and that my steering was awesome, like naturally good. The guy i had last time, on the other hand, told me that I have to use hand over hand steering or else it isn't good. And the first guy i ever had told me it was naturally good also. Hmm well i'm gonna listen to the ex race car driver because i'm pretty sure he knows the best method to use to steer. just a hunch.. He said what I do is another technique, the same one he uses, uhh called wait he wrote it in my book... push/pull. Ya cuz when I turn I don't put one hand over the other, I slide it... I cannot really explain it here... but anyways.. They all told me different times to check my blind spot also so that's confusing. But ya.. I think i'm straightened out now. Next lesson is... oh I parallel parked today on practically the first shot. He was guiding me tho so ya next lesson is practicing that on my own AND going on the Expressway (Wo0t W0ot! I've been waiting for it) unless there is a snowstorm. So ya... thursday better be nice at nite. woo hoo.
On another note, I'm almost finished my Christmas shopping. I did most of it in one day, yep yep, that's the way to do it. Angrignon is a pretty good mall to go to for xmas shopping. Lots of stuff and lil boutiques.
I love Christmas.
Being on vacation is the nicest feeling ever. I've waited what seems like an eternity for it. I hope next semester doesn't feel as long. With a little week break in the middle it should be better. woo hoo!
Tonight I'm gonna watch the last chapter of Broken Saints... I need to understand what is going on. It's a pretty crazy movie, you should check it out if you have like 17 hours + to spare...
Right-0, I am hungry!
I'm gonna go play some mario before I leave to meet chris (damn i love holidays!).
