Driving is no problem for me. I just need practice backing up (which way do I turn the wheel again?) and parking. The fastest I've gone is 55 mph. (48 more hours to drive!)

Driving by itself didn't really mess me up. It was the knowledge test itself. I'm not used to tests, I've been self-taught for a majority of my life.

That, and I wasn't keen on getting more responsibilities I guess. But that has changed somehow. Simply put, I got bored. I want to go to college soon and I feel strong enough to do it.

What's weird is that I don't feel like I'm "managing" my bipolar. It feels gone. No hypomania or depression for months. Maybe a few nightmares and a few mood swings, but otherwise...I don't know. It's freaky, I feel like myself.
