Officially allowed to drive a car!
May. 27th, 2014 06:23 pmI got my driving license!! \o/ I'm allowed to drive a car! All on my own! Finally!
The exam went so much better than the last time: the examiner was nice, the route had (almost) no unpleasant surprises, I felt good. During the parking exercise I accidentally turned on the windshield wipers and forgot how to turn them off, that was awkward, but that was the only really noticeable mistake I made.
I've already been "volunteered" as a driver in my family, even though LB's first reaction was "Help!" He should talk, he hasn't even started practical classes yet ;)
Studying is going well, mostly. In the past I tried to study at my university's library, which never worked well, but this weekend a friend introduced me to the main library's study hall and I like the atmosphere there a lot better. I have a structure for my thesis, I've found a lot of literature, and now I'm in the read-and-take-notes-stage.
On Sunday was women's run in Vienna. It was fun; considering that I trained very little my time was okay, the funny thing was that I got considerably faster each kilometer even though it felt the other way around.
I'm tiiired. I didn't sleep well the last few nights for some reason. The last time I had problems sleeping it was my meds acting up and it didn't get better until I switched, I'm really hoping it's just something random and/or weather-related this time. Could be, weather is switching from sunny enough I got a light sunburn to rain so heavy my jacket (and pants and shoes...) didn't stand a chance.
