I passed without flying colors. With no colors at all, in fact. None except the golden exterior of my $50-per-hour instructor's 2008 Honda Accord.
I committed a few minor mistakes I had never done before in the 8 hours of significant driving practice (only!). One of them, stupidly enough, was signaling. The other, I care not to mention. But all is well now.
I just can't wait to go home.

Driving Tomorrow
My road test is tomorrow. I am not nervous, but I am not absolutely confident either. I handle regular driving around very well. The only thing I am a little worried about is the parallel parking and my lack of driving experience (even though I do quite well).
We'll see. And wish me luck.

DMV Road Test. Status: Scheduled.
I decided to continue my driving lesson from when I started back in January. I gave up then because the Spring Semester was starting up and it became busy really fast. I decided against taking additional lessons and the road test then.
Yesterday, I went back for a hour's worth of driving. I was surprised that I did well. The instructor said I was ready about 15 minutes in. After that, we were chatting and just driving all over. A kind of waste of time and gas, but it was fun.
Scheduled for road test, set for Thursday, August 7. (Hmm, that's a day before the Beijing Olympics begins. Maybe it's good luck.)
