Now that my work for semester one is largely out of the way, it's time to catch up on my beloved blog, the place I put my writing effort into when I'm not writing hastily written, poorly researched essays or letters of complaint to various media outlets over their treatment of the programme "Extreme Paintball". A few weeks back I had to head into uni over the weekend. However it wasn't all bad, I got to drive the Vengabus down to the train station on my ownsome. I know that's not a word but it feels right.
Right now I haven't been driving into town because I haven't had all that much experience driving despite my full licence status. My sister successfully downgraded my driving skills by hogging up all possible driving time practising for her multiple driving tests. I won't say how many because I lost count after a while. As a result I am possibly the least experienced fully licensed driver in the state (not as bad as Alan Davies in that episode of Jonathan Creek where he drives in first gear down a highway) but I am working away at that one trip at a time.
As per usual, while semi proofreading I have forgotten to explain how we named our car. It's a tribute of sorts to one of my favourite shows ever, "Get This" and the late Richard Marsland who was forced into an impromptu performance of the Vengabus live on air. It didn't matter that he used lyrics from two Vengaboys songs, it's not like anyone can still remember the lyrics to any of their songs anyway.
Here's to years of competent driving and adequate parking. I'm done with this post, onto the next one!
