DRIVING PERMIT!! And that horrid DMV.

HOORAY! HOORAH! HUZZAH! WOOT! After struggling to read the worst book known to man kind, a.k.a; "The Oregon Driving Manuel" I finally went to the DMV (oh the horror) grabbed a number (39, and they were only on 7), took a seat, and sat, for 45 minutes or sheer pain. What is wrong with the DMV?? Honestly. Have they taken the hint from multiple comedians, SNL, and just about everyone else who makes fun of their horrid system? Doubt it. So I sat there waiting, and finally, he yelled,"39!?" and I ran to the front desk, eager and very nervous to take the worst test I swear I will ever take, the Learners Permit Test. Once I finished, I realized that I had to have my Statement of Enrollment (SOE) to actually GET the permit. So I had to go home, permit less, and wait until the next day when I had the SOE. Next day, back to nightmareish land, or DMV, and got to get another number, this time I got lucky, 18!!! So I sat there, and they called, I got my picture taken, and they handed me all powerful, PERMIT.. Little did they know what they were getting themselves into.. heh heh.. I mean, WHAT?

SO, I have driven in a quiet, mostly car-less neighborhood, for 15 minutes, and successfully, dodged ALL the cars I could see! Hoorah!
