Today my mom wanted to drop off some books so i offered to drive, (I don't actually have my permit yet, but I need to practice so I don't kill anything when I do).
The problem is, is that I live two miles up hill from the public library and my options to get their are to follow a very steep, busy main road or go on the dimly lit winding backroads.
I chose backroads because I was worried about being pulled over.
I still had to take a bit of the main road, but it wasn't bad.
To explain the title of this little entry, when I had to turn out of the side street to get on the main road I over turned and was headed straight for the tree.
So, there. My first almost car accident.
Let me tell you, it was SCARY, but both me and my mom are okay.
To lighten your nearly stopped heart I will tell you that when I pulled up to the drop off boxes at the library.
I put the car in park, rolled down the window and STRETCHED for the pull handle, but as far as I could stretch wasn't far enough, my arms are too stubby. >.>
Meanwhile, my mom is laughing her brains out. (Not helping, but I must admit, in perspective it was pretty hilarious.)
So, I had to unbuckle myself, and stand slightly to get the books in, BUT I did it, didn't I?!

So, there's my story as a first driver.
I'm only writing it so I can look back on it as an experienced driver and laugh.
Hopefully, I remember that it's here/what my username is.
