Driving lessons... again

davidnWhen I put myself in stressful situations, I don't just do things halfway. So to add to this month's schedule of two appointments at the doctor, one at the dentist, all the stuff that's going on at work, and organizing another Flash game sale, today I went down to the local driving school and booked myself in for two lessons and a driving test at the end of March.
I'd passed the written test a while ago, after which I realized that I really didn't want to do another practical test - but I was finally spurred into doing this by the thought that it would mean that we were able to go more than fifteen minutes' walk away without a ton of planning, or go to the supermarket during the winter without the trouble of putting on snowshoes and scraping our cart over the tundra. Everyone keeps on saying that if I passed in Britain this will be easy - indeed, if you'd seen the driving standard of most people here you would be quite surprised to learn that there even was a driving test - but it's still something that's going to further the amount of general dread on my mind. Most people only have to pass once, do it when they're seventeen and then just forget about it and never use their indicators ever again.
I've got a book called "How to Control Your Anxiety" out of the library, and am constantly worried about remembering to return it on time.
