In a Pit

I took the test for the pocket parking the second time last Monday and I failed yet again miserably. There I was committing the same mistakes that I had made during the first take. I crushed into the poles to my right several times, as I tried to back up. I don’t know how I did it after the police, whom they call “captain” gave me four chances to do it right.  It’s like being thrown into a pit and I couldn’t get out of it, much like being stuck in mud. It was yet again a frustrating day, a futile endeavor. I know that I have only myself to blame for failing. I just don’t understand why I didn’t have such trouble for 11 days that I had my driving lessons. Anyway, I still have another and last chance. I’ll have to ask my master to let me practice with his car and pay him extra. I actually still have 1 day left out of the 12 days but I found out that it is already forfeited. They only allow those with minimum of 10 training days left to go on with their training. I’m hoping that with a little practice I’ll be able to correct the previous errors that I had made and will finally make it. It’s going to be make or break for me this time, so until then…
