Anything Goes

Yeheyy – I took my driving theory test and passed!!

I did a lot of reading (honestly) and attempted to memorize information (and failing oh so miserably). I was in the exam centre 15 minutes early; I was signed in and I was ushered to station 1. The first part of the test is the multiple choice bit (50 items) and the second part is the hazard perception. In the multiple choice part I will be tested on how good I memorize facts from the Highway code and in the hazard perception I will be tested on how quick I can click the mouse when I see a hazard developing on the video clip.

After an hour of nervous mouse clicking and of emptying brain of facts I got my result. The receptionist handed me a piece of paper. I asked him which part I will know the result. He said read the first line please (sorry brain has now turned to mush). And it said Congratulations!! Well that was it. I was out of the room fast!!

So I am half way there… the practical test follows. Let us not go into that just yet.

Dennis and I went out for a curry to celebrate and watched Die Hard 4.0 on DVD. It was not very good (the bus and the fighter plane sequence was just too far fetched!) anyway, who cares I passed my theory test ;-).

I came to work very pleased with myself and ready to face any challenges. The University IT server was down for almost 30 minutes – nothing to worry – did not bother me at all…okay the next line is: I pass my……:-)

I am going out with the girls tonight for curry (again) after work. This was organised two weeks ago. If I had not passed my test I could have drowned my sorry in my curry but because I have … this will be another celebration.

Before I go.. it is 15 degrees today- lovely, lovely - "all's right with the world".
