Unlucky Solsjkaer, maybe you'll do better and pass next time round.
=D

The 35-to-40-minutes really do fly-by, as I found-out this morning.
My manouveres were very-good, I kept my speed down, and it all seemed to go quite well, with only 8 out of a possible 14 minor mistakes being made.
But then, I get 2 "Serious" ones (one of which I didn't deserve!) - and just one of those is enough for them to tick "Fail"!
So, I'm not in the best of moods, right now. And I can't really stand to see anyone or do anything, either - nope, I don't even feel I can face `her´.
I only hope I'm not waiting another 2 months for the next available test-date, when I get another one booked, later on, ASAP!
The worst part was the ride home, though. Having to sit there, next to your instructor, trying to hold it all in... It felt horrible!
And "why" I failed it, not just because I have - that hurts a lot, also.
But I know I can do it, and I need to go back there again to show them.
But at least I've got a GAD to claim (something I haven't even tried to win for a while now). F-Zero GX will be my prize.

I'll be taking driving lessons soon, once I get on a decent wage.
What car are you thinking of getting if you pass?

Presuably the manouvers kill at least 10 minutes. If you take your time...
:^)
I've not done any driving for a bit, my instructor's on holiday. But he's back soon, and I have a lesson on.. friday, I think.
I might give your technique a go then.

I'm just anxious about my test, more than anything else.
I know I CAN do well, and I just want to prove it, on the day.
Nerves, strangely, aren't getting to me at the moment, but I'll bet that'll all change come Wednesday night. I remember how my hands were shaking back in the Theory Test when I was trying to hold some bit of paper!
The hour-long lesson before-hand should do me some good. And, because the test's only 40 minutes long, and you can "take-your-time" with your manouveres, I don't reckon it'll be so-bad - even at 9:37 in the morning.
I don't really want to talk to her until after the test.
Providing I do pass, I reckon I can somehow integrate 'asking her out' into the conversation, "...now that I can drive", "in celebration". ;D

How's your parallel parking going?
I'm finding it dead-easy now - just as long as I can see my near-side mirror.
1. Reverse so that the back of your car is in-line with you end of the other one.
2. After stopping and looking-around well, do one, full turn inwards.
3. Keep coming back, slowly (they don't mind you using your footbrake - just go SLOWLY) and look in your near-side mirror (after checking your right shoulder) for the point when the edge of the near-side kirb is about two-thirds of the way down the door-handle (...I don't know if this works with all cars, but it does with my instructor's Polo).
4. As soon as it's all in place, quickly do two-turns outwards (going slowly...) and watch your car come around nicely.
5. Providing it's gone as smoothly as it should've, all you'll have to do is look-ahead to line-up with the car infront, before doing the one-turn-out to straighten-up (if you're too far back, you may need to pull-forwards and do this).
And then stop!
That's the way I've been taught anyway. :)
Just be sure to look around and lot, go very slowly, and to use the near-side mirror AND the back-window. Sorted! :)

How are you feeling for the test? You think you'll be feeling the pressure, or are you okay?
Maybe talking to her beforehand would help?

The only thing I don't like about this, now, is that my feeling's have suddenly "resurrected" for her, within the remaining few days before I take my driving test - which I've been on the end of a 2-month-long waiting-list for, and CANNOT fail at!
I made one-or-two mistakes in my lesson earlier on, but overall, my driving has been better-than-ever, with so-little time left, and the pressure starting to build.
If I do fail this - because she's really getting on my mind again - I don't know what I'm gonna do... But it ain't gonna be good, I can tell you!
I KNOW I CAN pass it - I just have to go out there and do it on the day, now.
...And to pray before-hand, it isn't raining on Thursday morning!! :S
But yes. Pass this, and good things will certainly be passing my way in return. :)

I know that feeling. But I've felt it about 2 girls in my life, and I'm on the road to recovery from the second one now :^S
Still, looks like you're set to make a move now. Good luck dude.

Dr.Duck basically said:
"There's plenty more fish in the sea... [and so on]"
I know what you mean, but I REALLY feel something special for her.
It's too bloody impossible to explain to anyone - even in-person.
I know what it's like to have "seriously fancied" someone. You get over that in while, and it's purely a 'physical' thing (usually).
But this time it's different...
If it was a physical thing with her, how come didn't feel anything when I first met her back last summer? Why is it that only in this last summer, when I've gotten to know her better, than I'm really starting to feel something 'different' then??
I KNOW that even at 18 I'm too young for marriage or anything like that, but you never know, I really do reckon she could be "the one" for the future...!
Idiot appears to have moved-on, also.
I don't know what happened, or where it went wrong, but he's now going out with the girl who works in the shop (the same one he's been "all-over" for months now). So, she is available, and she looks like she could do with something (...or perhaps someone!).
The timing will be perfect for me to "make my move" at the end of this week, or early next week - providing I PASS my driving test on Thursday, of course. With a full license in my posession, I'd actually be able to TAKE her places, rather than having to "scab" lifts of people and get on 'orrible buses and taxi's everywhere (I really cannot stand them anymore!). Total freedom, with the abillity to go and see whoever and whatever I want; whenever I want. ...I cannot wait!! :D
(This was another thing that put me off from asking-her-out before - the lack of commentment from me on my-end of the relationship.)
Oh, and I'm glad to hear college's working out for you, too, BIGMAN.
Are you just studying your A-levels there, or what?
If you ask me, you're better off doing them away from your school's Sixth Form, with all the stress that will inevitabley come, in a 'relaxed' enviroment.
I think I made a mistake in sticking with the 16/17-year-olds at mine, though. I'm starting to feel quite "alone" at college already, and it's hard to meet up with people your own age when your in completely different classes and that... :S
