(Hours 5 & 6)

So it's Thursday already! Time had surely past much quickly this round and I was back in the car before I knew it.

I started off slowly again today just making smooth turns round bends and familiarising myself with what I've learnt in my last 2 lessons.. I picked up my speed when I was on a straight road and not soon after I found myself doing 30 on a 60 road... pretty slow for those that can drive, but to me I was speeding since I usually do 10 haha

I found changing gears quite tricky today as I was doing a lot more 3rd and 4th gear... and my instructor had shouted 'You're in 2nd' when I thought I was in 4th! Later he asked me to go in 4th again and I thought I had.. I said to him 'Remember last time when I was going in 4th and I went in 2nd...?' then a voice answered back with a snigger 'You're in 2nd now!' I thought he was joking but he wasn't... haha so yea,. definitely need a brush up on changing gears..!

Once I got out onto the main roads I had some roundabouts to do and practiced a lot of junctions.. I must say I've never seen so many people behind me before! haha they must have all thought I was a bad driver... particularly on roundabouts when I'd stop right in the centre and didn't seem to know which cut in I wanted after indicating..

Despite the mistakes and the funny times I've had, it's been a good day altogether especially the end. I heard my instructor say 'Turn right and park behind the lorry'.. I tried to do so and turned right fine,. it was the parking that went a bit obscure.. I can't remember what happened but I just seem to remember the back of the car halting and throwing us to the windscreen.. I tried parking again but my car jumped again... it was harder trying to park this time as my laughter had carried over from the first jump.. I laughed again and left it at that! I continue laughing now thinking about it,.. it must have looked funny from the outside!
