I failed my driving test and have to retake in in two weeks. The guy was nice, I just almost turned left onto a one way street when he told me to turn left. I was so nervous I hadn't slept the night before much, and my brain was sluggish. I knew the minute I asked him "hard left or soft left?" that I should not turn, but it was too late. I hadn't read the sign first, and though I turned soft left, my words betrayed me. I feel so stupid.
The right speech aspect of this morning was waiting in line, I met a woman who was 89 and was taking her test again, and, as it turned out, for macular degeneration in one eye as well. I was surprised. "You can take the test again?" I asked and she affirmed you could. So when I knew I had failed my test I had hope I could do it again. And even better, this lady had had macular generation in one eye for 32 years, and yet the other eye had not yet failed. I've had a bad eye for 11 years. Maybe I've got a few good years left in me!
I feel very sorry for myself, but I haven't lost my perspective completely. I'll live to fight another day.
