The Grand Plan

MY 4-PART SCHEME TO OFFICIALLY START DRIVING
*and I mean really driving to places, not just practice driving around the subdivision. -_-
1. Get my dad to lift my driving ban. I wrecked the car last year, but it wasn't entirely my fault, everyone concedes to that. This part is also perhaps the simplest. With my 17yr old cousin Rob driving about town already, my dad can scarcely deny me this right.
2. Reread my driving book. This is to refresh the now practically dead memory of how to start a car, how to brake properly, and stopping. Theory is, I know, not as valuable as practice, but since I know it already, this will simply serve to wake up past know-how. ^^;
3. Practice Driving. This entails the joint efforts of myself and my also learning sisters, so it's simply a matter of timing. And available gasoline. Thank goodness we have car insurance so we don't have to worry about those accidents. This is where what I've read is practiced to perfection. Hopefully.
4. Somehow convince my parents that they're too tired to drive to Zambales next summer. Then ask for my sisters and myself to take over. This is the trickiest and hardest part, but if we do number 3 sufficiently enough, this just might do the trick. And the accomplishment of this task will ensure my parents that my sisters and I can handle driving regularly.

I've accomplished #1, and if everything goes according to plan, I'll be driving by 5th year. Hehe.. Too bad my friends will have all graduated by then. Oh well. Still, better start now or it's never. -_-
