I had a small meltdown this evening whilst out and about practicing some parking for my upcoming driving test. I spent 45 mins trying to reverse park into this one space and halfway through I started to cry because it was so beyond my understanding that somebody with a degree in Chemistry could not perfect reversing the littlest car in the UK. 45 mins driving in and out of one parking space. This one space was my giant. A giant I wanted to run over with my little car. And his (or her!) stupid white lines.

Turns out, the parking spaces weren't even rectangles, they were kind of fanned out because of the incline of the road so it was actually impossible to park in line with the white lines.

I'm putting out a global prayer request for the events in Lisburn on Friday morning. Pray for the drivers of the road and the pedestrains and pray most of all for my examiner because if he makes me cry or fails me, I cannot be held responsible for my actions.

P.S. Congrats Obams
