How is it that some one who so thoroughly plans every aspect of her life STILL does not have her license. It seems like it was just yesterday (or possibly last JUNE) that I got my permit, and only yesterday (or like maybe the fall) that I received my certificate saying that I had passed drivers ed, and only yesterday that I turned 16 (try February.) Tell me then, how is it that I still am license-less? Well the answer I guess can be found in two simple words. 40 hours. Isn't 40 hours a little bit much. I feel like I just keep driving and driving and it's still not coming. For the longest time my parents refused to let me drive with others in the car (besides my dad), and so I thought I should just be patient and not push the issue, wrongo. It's been over three months since I turned 16, and I still find myself with a licensed adult over 21 who has insurance over me or the car in the passenger seat. I know within a few weeks I will have that beloved document that will give me so much more freedom, but I've been at this point of frustration for weeks. I'm tired of having to ask my mom to drive me to a friend's party, or to even Walmart for that matter. When I'm driving down the roads I've driven for almost a year now, I'd like not to be reminded to do stuff I'm already doing (exp, stop at the stop sign, blinker left, and yes I AM doing them). This probably sounds like a bunch of senseless rambling, and it probably is. Hopefully by the time next weekend rolls around I will have the freedom I desire. I guess my parents haven't been totally unreasonable, the give me the ride or let me drive with them somewhere, but I'm just at that point where I'm ready to come out from under their wing a little bit more. Yes, it's definitely time.

It is funny but my parents wouldn't let me drive until the day I turned 15. My little sister who is 15 has been driving for maybe a year or more. It is amazing how much the youngest gets away with.
