Feel Like 15 All Over Again

This diet has given me tons of energy! I'm feeling great! Plus, I had to take the written driving test this week!

Last time I even thought about questions for that test I was 15. Oh the the things we'll do to feel young again! Actually, I let my license lapse more than 30 days. Silly me. I should be OCD and looking at my driver's license everyday to make sure it hasn't expired! I don't remember having a problem with this until I moved south! Last time I let it lapse I found out when I got pulled over really late at night on my way home from visiting Shelley in Tulsa! I swear that I've received reminders for the expiration when I've lived in other states! Didn't I? I'm just curious... how do you all find out that your license is expiring?! Regardless, I had to take the test.

I really didn't think too much of it. It was just a pain finding time during the day to go do it. Last week Geoff was home sick for a couple of days so I decided it was time. As I pulled into the State Trooper's Headquarters (driving myself without a valid driver's license and expired license plate) I started thinking that maybe I should have looked over some sample questions or something. It has been 20 years after all! (holy crap... 20 years!) Then I started to get nervous that I might not actually pass it! Oh the disgrace if I didn't pass this! Nervousness really set in as I got out of the car and got in line behind people who had review booklets in their hands! WHY didn't I think to ask them about review material when I called?! I'm an idiot.

So, I sat down to do the test. 25 questions. A friend told me that if I get 6 wrong it automatically turns off the test and fails me. I'm sweating. The first couple of questions weren't too hard. I actually remember them from when I was 15 (believe it or not). Questions like: What does this sign mean?

I started thinking: "Ok, this is going to be easy!"

Then they threw one of these in there: A passenger vehicle is going 55 mph. When stopping, how far before it comes to a complete stop? A. 110-120 feet B. 130-140 feet C. 170-180 feet

I DON'T KNOW!!!!!

Or how about this one: How many hours does it take to get alcohol out of a person's system? A. 3 drinks per hour B. 2 drinks per hour C. 1 drink per hour

YOU'RE KIDDING ME!!! Had no clue.

I must have guessed right enough because I made it through all 25 questions and the computer didn't blow up or tell me I failed! Thank goodness. I left the building with a permit. I could only drive with a licensed adult 21 or older until I could make it to a different building to actually have the license printed. I hope they didn't watch me leave.
