On the road to growing up

Posted on January 15th, 2007 by Sacha Chua

I've signed up for 10 hours of driving lessons, starting at 8 AM tomorrow. It'll be a refresher course—almost a complete beginner's course, as I really hadn't driven at all since I got my license. I'm looking forward to getting the hang of driving. I think it'll be a very useful skill.

I figured that I'd get as much practice as I can in the Philippines. When I go back, I'll take the written test and apply for a Canadian driver's license. I'll also need to set aside money to rent cars maybe every weekend? every other? so that I can gain experience and confidence.

Now, must find out which of my friends will trust me with their life... ;)
