I drove again today as well as yesterday night. Last night, I was going to stay at my couz's house in Strath and therefore got the opportunity to drive again. But this time it's in the middle of the night!! Ok... maybe it wasn't middle of the night but it was pitch dark outside =__= it shouldn't be a problem right? Except one thing. I was turning right from a small street and upon turning right (which in this case is also called accelerating) my headlight suddenly caught a glimpse of a grey furry animal lying at where I would hit it if I continue my path! So then I swerve even more to the right over the line and then regain the wheel balance again after I'm satisfied that we passed that moment and continue driving like it never happened. Luckily enough there wasn't any car on the opposite direction. BUT IT WAS SCARY!! It just so happen we have no idea what the animal was, it was neither reacting nor moving to the light nor the sound of the engine. So we are able to assume that it was already dead before I turned onto that street =__= such a waste of life. I feel sorry for the cat or whatever living furry creature it was. It was a scary encounter that I do not want to happen.
But all in all that wasn't really something that will make me discard the idea of driving. I tend to feel remorseful after all the mistakes that I did whilst driving and then completely forget about them the next day and start the lesson anew. So this morning I was picking up my couz (this is a completely different couz and I got another couz, who is the owner of the car, next to me) and dropping him off to Bunnings in Ashfield. There wasn't a great deal of mistakes on the road but a couple of arguments mainly between me and my couz (owner) about the rules end of driving, well... I really can't consider it argument per se, it's more proving who is right and who is wrong =__= but I did keep my eyes on the road though so no worries. But I still find parking difficult because I've been practicing on quiet roads a few times and then when it comes to the real world I really suck... Even though I put the front of the car in first I still can't manage to straighten the car =__= and so my couz need to hold the steering wheel for most of the parking =__= but then after that because the bit with the L on the front of the car was missing because it was raining and the L is actually paper so it blew away (or maybe it was heavily soaked with water so it dropped) my couz drove us back home ^--^ hehe so nice to finally get to ride in the car as a passenger instead of the driver. Come to think of it it has been a while since I ride in a car as a passenger because I've been getting lessons throughout the weekends.
But it was all good. We have to see what happen next there are probably a lot of mishaps waiting to happen when I'm driving around. O well~

Wow you've really developed your driving skills! I'm so impressed by your little trips. You only remind me that I REALLY need to practice more. I don't ever feel like driving because I've become quite fearful of the car as it ALWAYS switches off in the wrong moments and my dad gets angry. Not to mention I hit another car the other day, well our mirrors touched. AAArgh this is turning out to be like my piano lessons. I don't ever want to be there and I feel like throwing up beforehand.
Note: not all my piano lessons were that bad, but there were periods of time when I really did feel sick attending piano lessons.
