Driving limitations.

I’ve come to the conclusion that 2007 completely sucked and I’m ready for the new year.

It’s Christmas vacation and Marilyn is in NY! Yay! I’m so glad to have seen her and spent my time with not only her, but Gina as well, cause she came to visit too. I’m in a very odd mood at the moment. A mood in which I feel the need to be independent. I want to drive, I want to get out of this house, I want to get out of this place. I want to see people who don’t live close by enough to walk to their house, I want to be able to drive myself to work, I want to be able to drive my friends around in MY car. I want to grow up.

So as you can tell, I’ve been looking into getting my license and I’m gonna try and do it ASAP. I decided that every chance I get to drive, I’m going to beg my parents. Hopefully I’ll be ready by around spring, so I can just take a five hour course at the DMV and then just have my parents sign the 20 hour driving certificate. Maybe by then I can schedule a road test in April or something and get out of here to do what I want.

I’m so aggravated that finances and the fucking state of NJ had to slow down this process for me. If I had gotten a hold of my “real” birth certificate sooner, I would have been able to get my permit sooner and save up money to take Driver’s Ed. But no. Of course, I had to wait six months and missed out on several opportunities to get myself out into the world. At this point, I’m extremely annoyed that I always have to get my own rides and the fact that plenty of people around me that are YOUNGER than me have their licenses. Well you know what, I’m happy for them, but I’m sick of feeling stuck.

I want my license. Now.
