So I got my driver's license this morning. I guess it's a pretty big achievement, yet for some reason I don't feel like anyone needs to make a big fuss about it. Why, I'm not really sure. It could be that I felt that the test was a bit anticlimactic. I went into it expecting this half-hour long trek that went briefly onto the highway and maybe the interstate, supervised by some retired drill sergeant. It actually turned out to be a fifteen minute drive around town run by just one of the two women in the DMV office. I guess I was also a little surprised that I actually passed. It's not like I was expecting to fail, but I wasn't too sure if my driving skills were good enough to pass. I did end up making two little mistakes during the exam, not that I dwelled on them during the exam. If you dwell on mistakes you make while driving, you just end up making more. Just note the mistake, move on, and wait to think about them when you get home.
Anyway, after I made those two little mistakes, I thought to myself (for about five seconds) that I had blown the test. I went on with it though. At the end, the woman who was administering the exam said in an unenthusiastic manner, "You passed. Let's go back to the office and finish the paperwork," and I was like, "Really?... Okay." So I guess I did better than I thought. I don't really feel the need to jump for joy though. So I can drive a car now, big deal. Although maybe it really is a big deal. It could be that I haven't fully realized just what kind of changes this license will bring. Plus I've never been one to make a big deal out of things like this. So I decided that I should do some small thing to celebrate this event. That thing turned out to be getting a few more Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, which included a new deck that I've been wanting to try. I also found a card that I've been needing for my Six Samurai deck for awhile. That deck is now 94.43% perfected (I actually just made that figure up. It is being close to perfected though). Well, I just wanted to share all that. Thanks for reading.
