Title: Mother is always bugging me about driving lessons and getting a liscence
Post by: GTA-Boy on Jan 23 09 07:02
what's the rush in doing driving lessons and getting a driver's liscence? why can't i wait until i finish finsh my current college program and get a job which is related to that program? my mom always say i should do 20 driving lessons this spring 2 times a week. the problem is it is expensive. driving instructors can be unreliable and i know 2 of them  one which is always busy and the other which is based in toronto charges $50 that don't come to the area i live i have to take a bus to Toronto to meet him how should i tell her to stop pushing me in getting a licsense as if it is a mandatory national service? i am sick of this

Just tell your mom you appreciate her concern SOOO much, but you are in college now, so it's time for her to start that difficult journey of letting go.

In that case, you'll have to suck it up a little bit.  

  So do you not want to learn to drive ?  Maybe I'm not following you very well.

I wonder if she feels that it might open up the playing field for you in getting a job, if you are mobile.

Ah...that's what I figured.  

  What exactly is a library technician ?

Maybe it would be helpful for your mom if you had a license.  Since you live at home and all.
 
 Personally, I think everyone should have a license.  Even if you don't drive every day, it's important to have for emergencies, etc.
 
 Btw, what do you use for picture ID?

I currently have a G1 learner's permit liscence

      froma google search

   Library technicians help librarians acquire, prepare, and organize materials and help users to find those materials. Library technicians usually work under the supervision of a librarian, although they sometimes work independently. Technicians in small libraries handle a range of duties; those in large libraries usually specialize. The duties of technicians are expanding and evolving as libraries increasingly use the Internet and other technologies to share information. Depending on where they work, library technicians can have other titles, such as library technical assistant or media aide.

 I don't want to sound rude, but it doesn't seem like something that requires college.  

  *ok....that did sound rude....but I don't mean it to.  What kind of courses do you need to take?

LOl. My mom is the opposite. >< I wannnnna Drive so badly.=( I have my permit and waiting for the rest and she is spossed to take me for driving lessons but she hardly ever does.(//forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/8.gif)  When she does take me out it's very short and mostly she is panicing and freaking out at me. Hey Im not that bad of a driver, I am a nervous driver so I go super slow because I am careful and don't wanna crash and die. I just cant help sometimes go into the wrong lane.D: It's because the roads are not painted very well, not my fault. Honestly.

I Cant. In order for someone to take me out driving they need a certain amount of experience that my friends don't have.=( lol. One of my friends always offers to let me drive her car anyways, even before I had my permit, telling me we wouldn't get caught...buuut I am too straight edge on that and refuse. I has to follow all the laws.!D: My friends makes fun of me for being so law abiding.>=< BUt I tell them that following laws is what the real cool kids do. like meeeee. lol.

Ha. A few weeks back I was in a friends car and we were driving around in the dark, in a isolated far away place. Just cruising because we're cool like that and then..BAM! The car got stuck in a snowbank! It was on a long isolated road surrounded by woods.=( She made me put my foot on the gas while she got out and pushed the car since she was alot stronger and it almost gave me a heartattack! It didnt work anyways and we were deserted..had to walk along the road trying to find somewhere with a phone, and it was like a snow storm. ha our luck. I was completely freaking out and clinging to my friend, actually I started crying as well, ha I was like terrified. We managed to find a house and the people helped us, which was good because I was worried they'd end up being serial killers or something and kill us or something.(Im paranoid) and we went home and now she'll never let that go.=( Because I gets scared easily...

I also like to talk alot! so I dont know what alot of that had to do with driving..but....there it IS! mwhahahah.(//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/3.gif)


HURARRAY FUN PARTY TIMEZ!!!!

Like a lot of things, there is often more to it than meets the eye.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/c020.gif" border=0]

  Well good luck to you on that.  Sounds like it could be an interesting job.
