Day 1 of Driving Class

The first day is supposed to be hours of non-stop lecture on rules and etc. I went to the academy together with another 4 soon-to-be driver. When we arrived, boy, there sure were a lot of people! Thankfully, it didn't take much time for me to register before I head towards a small hall where the lecture was to be held. At that time, my watch showed that it was already 0945 hours and it was supposed to start at 1000 hours. When I opened the door, I scanned for an empty spot for me to sit. The hall was already half filled with people of my age and some that are older. At that moment, I felt like I was watched by every single pair of eyes that were present. Maybe it was just me who felt that way was because I was all alone and I didn’t know anyone. So then, I made my way to an empty seat across the hall next to a girl. There was no way I’m going to sit next to a guy! NO WAY! It was already hard for me to walk across the hall without falling or bumping on something so it was unlikely for me to sit next to a guy I know nothing of.

By the time it was already 5 minute past ten, the lecture still hasn’t started. I was so bored only God knows how bored I was. I wanted to start a conversation with the girl next to me but the environment was so quiet making every whisper seemed to be audible from a 5 feet distance. And so there I was, waiting while I let my mind fly to a place I’d like to call ‘Fantasy Land’. Well it was better than dozing off to ‘Dream Land’. At least at that time and place.

During break time, there was a progress between me and the girl who sat next to me. We went to lunch together since she’s also alone, just like me. So we talked a little and it turned out that she’s seven years older than am. And then the lecture continues.

After it had finished, I went to wait for my instructor who’ll be bringing me home. The others were also waiting for their instructor in front of the main office, so it was like there was a commotion over there. Then I saw the guy who I with me in the morning so I went over to him hoping he had the instructor’s phone number. Sadly he’s phone is out of battery. So we waited and waited. We talked a little. Looks like his appearance is completely different from his personality. He’s nice. And that’s basically it for the first day.
