After failing my driving exam last wednesday I fell in to a state of total despondency (a state of low spirits caused by loss of hope or courage ). I failed the "hill start", then passed the "reverse through the lane" and parallel parking. I blame the god forsaken car - 1000cc simply isn't good for anything especially starting on an incline. Plus it also needs some major servicing. I can now see why people choose to bypass "the man" and buy their drivers license under the table.
Thats not the worst part either. The fact that I have to wait until August 30th in order to retake the test again is torture enough unto it self. Why have you forsaken me? WHYYYYYYY? Even before the yard test I was worried that I may have failed the written exam - I get paranoid. I think I got 3 out of the 25 questions wrong. In fact I am pretty damn sure of it. But I wasn't worried about any of that as much I was worried about the hand signals that had to use in the road test which NEVER HAPPENED. Luckily I won't have to do the stuff I passed over again.
I have already run over budget on the driving lessons. Not only do I have to pay $20 USD to do the test again. But I have to pay the driving tutor $67 USD so that I can use his shitty car to do the test. Can I say mofo? I know that guy must be smiling right now because the his other 2 students failed as well (notedly much worst than I did). But the August 30th thing hurts me most of all.
alex commented: @tristan it takes about 3-4 hours to drive the full length of jamaica. Over that distance is alot of bush and unscrupulous characters. Walk it at our own peril. @micheal as owen described there is alot of corruption within the driving authority itself that is why the "bought" liscenses come out real. :) ... read 13 more

Two years since the sites being up and it comes the time once again for us once again to pull out a clean sheet of paper and write down all we have achieved, all we have seen and all we have heard. Count our losses. In the pass year I have failed calculus and Organizational Behaviour at a rate of one per semester. What can I say? When people run in circles its a very very mad world. Some of these subjects are designed specifically to mess with people i.e. people like me. Other than that it has been a pretty normal year. Thanx for your comments guys and girls ( faith, michelle ). Peace out.
My driving test is on wednesday. I can get out of work but there is still much to be done. Its going to be a hectic week.
I have subscribed to 2 "Podcasts" in my laptop's music player. Quite an interesting combination. One is "Open Source Sex by Violet Blue" and the other is "Space Music by TC". In the first one, from what I have heard so far, Violet mostly reads erotica which she reads it quite well. She has a sexy voice like Dido. The latter is, as the name suggests a compilation of "space music" which I didn't know was a music genre. But is quite a relaxing to listen especially while programming. I think those two podcasts are enough.
