So... tuesday I ha my driver's exam theory thing...
Had to go to alkmaar by train, grab the bus and then walk a few meters to the CBR.
Seemed simple enough ...except for the part where the busses were o strike. NAturally being the hermit I am I did not know this so after waiting for 10 miutes at the busstop the nice busdriver told us there were no busses going. So a bit panicky I asked him the easiest way to get to the stop I was supposed to get off at. And that where things REALLY started to go downhill.
He kindly informed us we could walk there but that it was a good 3km, if not more. And that we might not make our appointment because it was quite a long walk. He told us how to get there the quickest and we set off spee hiking like maniacs.
Honestly I don't think I've ever walked that fast. I pulled a muscle in my thigh and twisted my hip strangely as well so I was in pain too and my shoes randomly decided to shrink a size so my toes were getting mushed like only boiled potatoes should be mushed.
Once we thought we were there, slowed down only ot figure out we weren't there yet.. so we started speed hiking again. NOr nomally I don't mind speed hiking if I know how far it is that I have to go! But alas...
We did get there, in a whooping 30 minutes or so, Ithink we set a new world record :P
Took the test aaaand... I PASSED =D
So I have my theory ceritficate thingermajick.. =D I'm quite pleased considering I only had four days to learn it all (and I know NOTHING about road rules, I'm a menace) and I only studied for 3 days, I'm an idiot like that... Ionly read the bok once... but ... I did it anyway! I only had 5 faults, so.. .yey! I felt very acomplished...
