i passed a test!

i finally took the driving test and got an illinois drivers license. i had to take a written exam (with questions like, 'if you are under 17 and driving after curfew, which of the following should apply...' and 'when driving in a construction zone, you should: a. slow down, b. honk your horn several times, c. drive faster to clear the way'), wait in line for hours, and take a practical driving test. i got a perfect score in the written exam. yeyy!
the last time i had to take a driving test i was 17. i think i was just as nervous.
not because i thought i would fail, but because of how big of a "fadicha" it would be (english word for fadicha?? anyone??).

the examiner and i drove around the block, made a few turns, stopped at some lights, reversed between cones, pretended to park downhill although the closest hill is miles away. nothing too fancy. my biggest problem was that after waiting in line for my test for so long, i had to pee really bad...

glad this is over with!
