I did it!

I was not able to sleep well last night. I was so anxious about my practical driving exam. I drifted off at around 1 AM only to be wide awake at 5 AM. I didn’t dream about anything in particular. I just had this ugly feeling that I’m going to fail my practical driving exam… AGAIN! I had forced myself not to think of the exam by diverting my mind to happier thoughts so I was once again able to dose off.

At 7 AM I woke up because my husband’s alarm went off. Usually, I stay in bed and listen to him take a shower but today I got up and went straight to the kitchen to have a cup of strong coffee.

Nobody knows that I signed up for the practical driving exam today. After failing the first one, I learned to keep my mouth shut about it. By law, I am allowed to a retake after 2 weeks provided that I took additional lessons in these 2 weeks. I did that and although I didn’t get a green light (again) from my instructor, I pushed through with it.

I took the exam today and I am glad I did it.

The exam started at exactly 12 noon and although I got this funny feeling in my stomach the whole morning, I can’t complain about it. I PASSED the exam! The hell I’ve been through feeling that I need to use the toilet every other minute is forgotten. When they told me I passed it, I felt relief and gladness then after that I just felt sleepy.

So I napped first before writing all about it. :)
