In which I am chastised for taking turns too quickly, but still pass my road test.

This officially marks my graduation from driving school. YES!!

Of course, this was the easy part. The hard part is passing the written exam, which is a great show of how well one is able to memorize information too dense to access in the split seconds one has while driving. We are, in fact, being tested on how theoretically well we will drive AFTER we were tested on how well we actually drive.

I’m sure it makes as much sense to you as to me!

Anyway, the test wasn’t that hard. Like I said, the only problems I had were taking turns at the speed a normal person would take them, which was apparently too fast (I just can’t win in this metric system…). We had six 2km courses that we had to memorize, and were told we would drive ONE of the courses for our final test. It turns out all the instructors knew what days meant which tests anyway, so the students were all privy to the matter.

Now I just have to pass the written test… which, if the permit test was any indication, will be freaking impossibly hard. I guess I should start studying or something.

In other news! My house is never ever going to be clean again! :-(
