Almost on the Road

I FINALLY GOT MY PERMIT!!!

Today was very nerve racking to be honest. It was not at first, but
as the time got closer to walking in to take my test, well, that is when it
really started to hit me. I went to the DMV today with my mother, and we
sat there for a couple hours waiting for our number to be called. My
nerves really started to kick in especially when my mother and I forgot
to write my social security number down. So we had to go through a lot
of trouble to get the number, and then after freaking out about that,
I remembered that you are given an eye exam before taking your
provisional license test. Remembering this I kind of freaked out again
because I wear glasses/contacts, and well, I was not wearing them. So we
walked up to the counter and I signed some papers, and the eye sight
test came. I was thinking .... Crap, I waited 2 plus hours just for someone to
tell me I cannot take my permit test just because I am not wearing my
glasses?!?! And to my surprise, I actually did better than I thought that I
would. I only said one letter wrong, I had said it was a "O," but my mother said
it was a "D." So after all the dilemmas were over I walked over to the test taking
area. There I took my "pre-license" photograph, andwalked into the test taking
area. I sat there and took the test, and finally when I had finished marking
all my answers I had walked up to the "correcting" table. I know this sounds
a bit mean, but I felt a little relieved after hearing that the girl in front of
me had failed, and that she had missed 13. I thought, "Well, at least I can't
do worse then that." Yeah I no, harsh, but it still gave me some confidence.
So after that girl left I walked up to the table to get my test graded. I stood
there and I was so happy when the guy flipped that first page without a mark
on it. My overall paper consistedof only one small red marking. I was so happy
to be done with the test, and to have passed it. My mom described my joy
like this on Face Book,



"Everyone ... She was so cute .... After the test was graded she
turned around with the biggest smile on her face and waved
the paper in the air! What a proud moment!"
- My Mother



And that is exactly what I did ha ha :)
I was just that happy to have my permit,
and ready to start my hands on driving.
