I just started my PhD and it's going well..I'm loving every moment of it, it's really what I want to do. However - I need to learn to drive before February for my PhD so's I can go out sampling in the field. I've sat my test twice now and failed it both times - not by much, but I'm always so nervous - the stress of knowing I have to pass in order to keep my PhD is too much. I feel like walking in front of a train sometimes the stress is too much.
