The road to becoming a licensed driver, cont.

Well, just a short entry to announce that I passed the theory test, with 3 errors.

So, June 12 I hope to be able to say that I’ll have a driver’s license in five days.

The road to becoming a licensed driver

As you may or may not know, I happen to be following driving lessons at the moment.

These days I’m a pretty good driver - although I do have some days where everything just goes wrong.
Anyhow, tomorrow is the day I’m having my driving theory exam, which is a prerequisite of the driving test. Hopefully I pass (you pass if you don’t get more than 6 out of 50 answers wrong), because currently it’s so busy that you can only make reservations for a new test some three or four weeks in advance.

My instructor tells me that, if I pass tomorrow, I’ll have my driving test on June 12! That’s not too long from now, so I’m totally going to do everything in my power to pass tomorrow
While I thoroughly enjoy driving lessons, and while the instructor is a pretty nice guy, I’m also looking forward to being able to drive the car whenever I like.

Holiday Plans

Some 4 weeks from now, this school year is over, and my summer holidays will start.

It’s quite amazing how quickly the past school year has gone by. It feels like it only just started! It almost frightens me to think that I am almost a 3rd year student. Back in high school it took me AGES to get to that point! Or at least it felt like ages.

Anyhow, with holidays come holiday plans. Firstly, I’m pretty certain I shall be flying to Great Britain on the 29th of June to attend the TT-Forums Meeting in Birmingham on the 30th.
Orudge has spoken of the possibility that I could come up to North Wales with him, although we’ve not discussed this option in great detail yet.

Furthermore, my sister is currently doing a work placement in Oxford, so I’d be able to go and visit her while I’m, sort of, in the area.

When I get back I’ll probably spend the rest of my 2 month holiday sitting at home, unless some of my friends suddenly come up with plans or something
I’ll have plenty of time to play games and write some code for whatever I want.

Although I’ll probably end up doing a lot of the former and very little of the latter. This has been the case for the past 2 summer holidays, and I don’t really forsee it changing too much.
