Hurrah i am back.
Well technically i never left, BUT that is not the point. I have a hella a update to do then huh?
Not Thursday just gone but the one before. The 3rd of April, i passed my Driving test *dances and runs around the room*
I have been driving since August of last year and applied for my full license in February. I was with the SGS, who alot of the tests have been dumped onto. The RSA does most of the testing but lately it has changed. I have to say i was quite lucky. The SGS are great to have your test with, they have slightly different routes, but the have way better testers, imo. I was so nervous on the morning. I had the day off school, i got up at about half 8, got ready and went for a quick drive to psych myself up a bit.
I had a lesson at 11, i starting going into town about 10:30. As i pulled up at the lights, my Chemistry/Biology teacher was waiting to cross. I being the jackass that i am, attempted to hide behind the steering wheel. I didn't want her to think i was mitching (Missing school). When the lights went green i rocketed around the corner, if she saw me, she did not let on.
It wasn't my usual instructor, but she was lovely all the same. (She kinda looked like Mia Kirshner)
I have to say, it was one of the worst lessons i had EVER done. And it was really hot that day, and my air conditioning, well i hadn't used it before as i got my car in November, so its kinda shit ¬_¬ But meh, i had the windows down instead hehehe.
i had another lesson at 2, just before my test. I was just bumming around town. It then occurred to me, my school gets lunch break then. I was like, "oh shit, the principle is so gona catch me, and i don't wana say i have my test incase i fail"
Yeah i met 5 teachers >_< All of which i have for a class.... >_<
I then hid in my brothers flat till 1:45, where i headed down to the car and then to meet my usual instructor.
Yet again, one of the worst lessons i had EVER done. We drove out to the NCT Test Center, and i was soo nervous. We waited till i was called and my instructor left after telling me he hopes i pass:)
The Tester was lovely, he asked my questions, i stumbled but i got them right:) Then he checked my license, and we then headed out to my car.
He asked me to lift the hood and asked me how to check the oil etc.
We then checked lights, and then sat in the car and he asked me about the dials. I didn't have a clue how to turn my fog lights on, so i guessed. I got it right though, diagrams on buttons ftw!
The driving part itself only lasted 25minutes. Apart from the hill start which i fucked up, i did pretty well. We headed back to the test center where i wasn't sure if i had passed or not, he went to print out the results while i sat nervously waiting. My palms were sweaty, i was pale and i felt nausea. He came out, with an expressionless look on his face and i thought FUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCK.
He then said "I would just like to say, Congratulations you've passed"
I sat there stunned then was like Wow, Seriously? and got all giggly.
He ran through where i fucked up and said sure you're a good driver overall.
I got out to the car all shaky, got into the car and screamed. After i had collected myself, i rang my instructor to tell him i had passed. He was like thats excellent well done. YAY!!!
Mom said not to ring her but to come to her work if i passed. I got stuck in traffic for 20minutes. Finally got to her and Dads work and ran up jumped on dad and yelled "I passed! I passed"
Dad was like thats excellent, and what not, i went up to see mom and she hugged me so hard i got light headed. I then sent a message to my friends and brother etc.
My friend Grace then rang to congratulate me, she had only passed there a few days before me, shes 21 i think:)
When i went into school the next day i got hugs and stuff it was great. I got to drive in too:) People couldn't believe i was only 17 and had my full license so yay go me:)
My Boss in work, the manager Liz who is awesome gave me a hug and said congrats:) so yay.
Oh that was also the night i passed out at work, i was exhausted and my ears started to play up.
Nothing much happened over the weekend, i did the shopping for mom as she was sick but thats about it.
Monday i went into school for first 5 classes and then i went to catch a bus to Dublin to go see Michelle and to see We Are Scientists. I got up there about half 3 and met Shelly. We got the bus out to her house and got pizza, and Shell had to change her top (We had the same one on) and we then headed back into town to get to the gig. We weren't asked for ID *Thank god* and bought t-shirts etc.
We got up near the front, the supporting band were pretty good. Boss Versanti i think.
When Scientists came on they played a song from the new album which i don't have, then they played Nobody Move, Nobody Gets Hurt.
Yeah i got hurt, i got squished by this fat guy >_< Shell dragged me out and into this circle of taller guys hehehe. Their set list was pretty awesome, i got videos and pictures which i shall have up soon.
All in all the show rocked. One of the best i have been to, Foo Fighters was the best, then Weezer then Scientists, then Aerosmith.
I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday, i miss more school and i haven't fully caught up yet, im screwed i miss double biology and double maths, i miss a test in bio, which i want to do and more maths, im royally f**ked.
Oh and the reason i haven't been around is because i have had huge connection problems, so i appologise, my dad and i spent most of Wednesday and Thursday evening rewiring the computer and my room so i could get a network cable in here. Sean made me giggle aswell, he is becoming more quick witted just like Grandma. <3
That is the end of the update, im about to do my hair, i have to go and get pictures done for my license and they have to be good as i will be stuck with them for the next 10 years.
TTFN Ta-Ta for Now.
