So, I haven't done a hugging thing on this blog (or the discussion board, for that matter) for a couple of weeks. Basically, it's because I'm sort of lazy, and procrastinate a lot (see this old post for all the deets {details}). I could try and make excuses, but there's really no excuse to be made. So, sorry to my three (who am I kidding, two) avid readers for darkening your Sunday nights for the past couple weeks. I know how you've gone to sleep weeping in despair after spending hours refreshing my blog's home page.
Anyway, on to happier things. Last weekend (and by that I mean the weekend before last) I got my Utah Department of Motor Vehicles Learner's Permit. I passed the Learner's Permit test at 86% on my first try, and I barely even studied. ((:D)) (PS that was a happy face signifying that I was glad that I didn't have to study or really know to much about driving to be able to drive). I did find one of the questions on the test odd, however. It went...a little....like this: "When operating a motorboat, do the same rules and regulations regarding alcohol still apply to the operator of the boat?".....What? Why would we need to know this. The Learner's Permit doesn't allow you to drive a boat, so why would you need to know this. Luckily, it was a Yes/No question, so I just put yes, and I think that I probably got it right.
I was pretty surprised that I passed the test on my first attempt, because there were people failing it left and right. "Oh, I only needed to get twelve more answers correct." "Darn, 63%, so close." What's the deal? What do you not get about signs, speed limits, correct blinker usage, high or low beam lights, proper four-way-stop etiquette, and municiple speed codes? What's so hard about that? OK, so maybe I did study I little. I wasn't trying to brag or anything. No, not at all.
