Licensed!!
Well, watch out! As of yesterday, I am licensed to drive! After a long waiting period, as I was on ‘standby’ for my road test at the DMV, a grueling (not really) road test, and, may I say a PERFECT TEXTBOOK parallel parking job (thankyew!!) I passed with a 90%!! The parking was perfect, but ahem, I forgot to signal. Alas.
I didn’t signal as I was practicing for 3 hours in a parking lot, so it wasn’t a habit at that time. But, when I parallel park ‘for real’ (if I EVER do) I will remember to signal.
I was just kidding about the ‘Watch out’ part too, I am a good, ultra-defensive driver.
The waiting was the most grueling, and it wasn’t even that bad. The woman next to us was sitting there for a long time, with registration and insurance in hand, so I asked her, “Are you waiting for your road test?”
“Yeah, I was here ALL DAY yesterday too. I’m on standby. They just didn’t get to me yesterday, and they say there are no gaurentees.” I nodded in sympathy, hoping that that wouldn’t be me, and offered her a magazine. About 5 they called her name. Well, she tossed the magazine on the table and flew up there. HA! I’d never seen anyone move so fast! They called my name soon after and we both passed.
I am so excited about having a license! I haven’t had one in 7 years! I know it’s a bad idea to post a picture of it on the net, so I made a virtual duplicate of it for you all to look at, so you can share in my excitement. (more…)
