Academic Driving

If I had a dollar for every time I told myself that I should learn how to drive, I’d be rich by now. First was when I got the lease of my apartment years and years ago (8 to be exact). I thought, ‘ok it’s time to invest in a car’, then some other excuse will crop up, like there’s not much parking space in the vicinity etc. Then when I was neck deep in homebased work, I thought of buying a car so that I can just go home to the province when I wanted (and leave all that sheet behind lol), then I’d think of another excuse.

Now that I am ‘jobless’, thoughts of driving are cropping up again. This time so that I can drive my son to school when he starts. Since that is a year or so away, I decided to just read and research about driving first. yeah, THAT is how academic people do it. Kidding.

So yeah, i found resources teaching about the components of a car and what they do, how a steering rack works, and the differences between the types of fuel. I just also discovered that there is a difference, see.

Maybe I should just let AJ teach me how. He watches his Cars DVD often enough.

I am by no means a slow learner. More of the opposite, really. But learning is interest-driven, and that is the main thing to focus on first before any kind of learning takes place.
