A Proper Adult?

I guess I should start by explaining the title of my blog...well just a month ago I turned 20. I left the world of being a teenager behind me. Of course with many birthdays I didn't feel any different. I find that usually it takes me a few months to feel different if at all but today it finally happened. Today I had an appointment with the RTA to go for my full license. Although I was incredibly nervous about passing, I did! Yay!!! I almost forgot to take my P's off the car as I left and when I did it almost felt wrong, like I was doing something naughty. Anyway, I realised as I was letting my sister drive with me supervising, that I actually felt like and adult.

So today I feel like an adult. I feel like I've escaped the social black hole of being a P-plate driver. Society now has no generalisation to put me under and to try and destroy my confidence or make me feel bad just because of my age and driving status. So I was quite excited.

But shame on society for me needing to take one test to feel like I don't have to prove myself at every step and feel like I'm constantly being looked down on.

Nothing much more is happening at the moment. I'm getting four day weekends, but my real weekends almost feel more like work at times as they are generally more tiring than my working week.
