Level Up

Today is an important day for me! I took the last final, thereby ending the academic year, in which I received all A's, at least for the normal year. (We shall see how I did on the finals, but that doesn't have a huge weight, not as much as people make it out to be.) Also, I went to the DMV to apply for a learner's permit.

The only final I had to take today was the Spanish one. I thought it started at 9:00 and therefore arrived at 8:30 to be prepared. It actually started at 8:30, so I had 15 fewer minutes by the time I went up to sit in the exam room at 8:45. Fortunately, it was a fairly easy test and I had plenty of time to complete it. I also, as I wrote about yesterday, reset and turned in my iPad.

After a failed attempt to go to Coldstone Creamery with some friends (they were closed), I went instead to the DMV. After a wait, they had me take an eye exam, which I barely passed; apparently, my right eye is considerably weak. Then came the actually interesting part: taking the computerized traffic law test. After getting the practice question wrong, I went on to get a perfect score on the real test, skipping one strangely-worded question about buses. I can drive now, kind of!

I feel like this day is important; I've survived my first year of high school and have started the driver's licensing program.
