We were returning Tess and checking out Heart of Darkness today, and Brett was taking out all his post-its, and he just had so many! It was hilarious, he'd flip through the book once and take out all the post-its, then he'd flip through it again and find infinitely more hahaha.
We mined Chips Ahoy cookies in Enviro lol.
Today was my driving test, and I spent practically the whole day asking people if I just pull up to the driveway right away or if I had to park and check in first, and I kept hearing different things, so for the record, you do have to go in and check in first, and then they send you out.
Anyhow, I got DQ`d. I probably should've sensed my imminent doom when I saw that woman walk out towards me with her white lab coat-like garment that made her look (and probably feel) more important than she actually was; she was the only female examiner there, and the only one dressed so ... uptight-ly. She was also extremely terse, which I was not expecting; I thought my person'd be more conversational (and easier to butter up or something, I dunno). Anyhow, she ended up failing me on two critical errors (which I really don't think were so critical): first of all, I was driving at 40 by Torrance High, which sucks, because I know the speed limit's 25 around high schools, I just completely did not realize we were actually passing by a school. The second, she called an intervention by examiner. Basically, we pulled into the neighborhood; there was an intersection that I assumed had 4-way stop signs, since there were two cars on the street perpendicular to me which had paused. The first car went, and then I started to go. But then the second car also started to go so I stopped; unfortunately the lady said "Stop," at the same time I hit the brakes. Also, she marked me off a lot for failing to check traffic, which I totally did!I can't really be mad at her or call it unfair since I did make mistakes, but I dunno. If anything, I'll be a more careful driver because of this, but the acknowledgment still didn't stop me from crying my eyes out afterwards.
