Ok, for all you crazy people, Ontario drivers licenses come in three parts. G1, beginners - lots of restrictions and junk and stuff, G2 almost a full G... G... Yeah. I went for my G1 today. Usually it's dumb 16 year olds but they raised to 18... well after I was 18 so it was no big deal one way or the other what with me now being 22.
Anyway, today is the day we set aside to finally go and get me licensed to drive because my dad wants to teach me. He even paid for it! So I got up this morning to read the book I got on my 16th birthday that I've only looked at twice so that I could read it before I go. I was supposed to read it yesterday but it was beach day. I got a tattoo at the beach and brought home driftwood... you should ask me about it... anyway, I was too damn tired last night so I got up "early" to read it today.
We were supposed to head out at 1 but because I was reading the book I didn't get out of the shower til later. We had a time limit because we had to get Mommy from work at 3. So my dad heads off to Victoria St. at the far end from my house and we drive along before deciding we were too far down it and went back. Then we still haven't found it and we're in the midst of Kitchener construction. ******** chaotic if you ask me. So we're lost in detours and road blocks and it was just a nightmare.
So eventually we're all rather fed up as we're looking for the place a half hour later and lost at another closed road. We drove down it and the road was all torn up in the middle... we drove over the sidewalk around it (it wasn't a real sidewalk, it was paved but it was at the edge of a parking lot) and got to the end of it and back on the road. Then there was a closed sign and huge pilons... well ******** that. Run them over! We're not going back through that maze. Dad had me get out of the car and move them... on the way to get my license, guys... xd
So we left and thought ok, we need help. My dad drove to the Beer Store to ask for directions... to get me to the place to get my license. So they told him where we need to go and we got there at 2. It took us A WHOLE HOUR when it shouldn't have taken more than 15 minutes.
By this point I'm stressed beyond reason especially the fact it wasn't my money and I'd be disappointing my dad if I failed. Then the insistance on reading the book on the day and being in panic mode because I don't know it. That was really stupid. So then I have no idea what to do, where to go and I'm all gonk . I get through everything real easy and go to write the test at say 2:30.
Sat down and did all the road signs then ignored that sheet and looked at the other one in horror, not knowing ANYTHING. So I skipped stuff until I understood the question (I was just stressed and over tired by this point) and went through it all a couple times and decided close enough at 2:45. Stood there while the guy marked it. Road signs, aced. Threw it right in the recycle bucket. The next one he checked the first side and it was perfect then flipped it over... one, two, three... oops. xd I passed though.
Anyway, I have a temporary license and now I get my real one in 4 days? I dunno, I wasn't paying attention. I HAVE PHOTO ID! LET'S GO GET DRUNK... oh wait, I can't drink. Nevermind!
So that's my poorly told story. I'm exhausted. I'm going to leave your brains alone now. Bye bye ^__^
