#5 To Shift or Not to Shift

My new thing number #5 was to learn to drive a stick shift.  My roommate, Hannah, graciously offered to teach me using her PT Cruiser.  I have been driving for a "few" years, but I must admit I was nervous.  I was scared I'd break the car. Hannah was very patient with me and taught me the basics.  She made me start the car going up a hill. I must admit, I stalled out ALOT.  Apparently, I pull my foot off the clutch alittle too fast.  I was about to start the car and make it go, without crying.  I even got up to 3rd gear!!!  I drove us home, and over a ton of speed bumps.  I'm also very good at parking.  I don't think I'll make it to the "real" road without a few more lessons, and one day, maybe the interstate!  Fun times! THANK YOU Hannah!!!
