Driven to distraction

Well I have passed my written driving test. All very exciting for me as I had tried to drive in the UK but had failed (twice). Now I am on the way to passing my test here. Most Californians drive automatic transmissions and Jen is no exception. If you haven't driven an automatic I want you to image flying on a plane 1st class. It is the same experience of driving only smoother and a darn sight easier. You point the car in the direction you want to go and then decide how fast or slow you want to go.

I have spent the afternoon driving and have already experienced road rage (my own) and filled the car up with petrol and gone to the car wash. It is an exhilarating experience but also tiring at the same time. There is so much you have to concentrate on. I now have to get some experience driving and then I can take my test. There aren't many driving schools here as most people don't need them - there isn't much to learn in a big version of a go-kart.

I would also like to say thank you to all the people who have posted comments on the site, it really is heartwarming to know that some people are reading this thing. Please keep them rolling in, and if you know anyone else who may be interested please let them know the web address. Also if you or any of your friends start a blog please let me know and I will try and get the links working to their pages too.
