I went to the DMV to put in an effort to complete my testing and receive my license.  Little did I know, the questions for the DMV’s test are ridiculous.  I took a few of the sample tests to prepare and I felt pretty confident.  That was my undoing.  It is necessary to answer 25 questions while getting 5 or less wrong.  It didn’t seem too difficult and I always considered myself a pretty solid test taker.

I was wrong.  After a 45 minute wait to get started (it was the DMV after all) it took me less than three minutes to answer 10 questions correctly and 6 wrong.  The test immediately shuts down and sends you back to the counter to accept your lashes.

I can’t believe I failed.  The clerk behind the counter looked at me with pity and said I was welcome to come back next week to give it another shot.  For a moment, I thought about what would happen if I just never came back.  Am I the type of guy who could live outside the law for the rest of my life?  I quickly brushed the thought aside as I don’t really fancy a life on the run.  Instead, I resolved to study up this weekend with the snow storm and come back next week for vindication.

I will, of course, keep you all updated.
