up real real early just to get a run in.

so... i had my driving test this morning, and as we were sitting in the driveway about to go i decided to check the emergency break to see if it was working...... it wasn't. the back wheel ended up getting locked which meant that i had no car for my test. my dad called up one of his buddies who's a cardealer and he said that he had a car for us. so off we go in our 3 wheeled car squeeling down the street and with the smell of burning tire in our noses. we made it a couple blocks before we had to ditch the car on the side of the road and we started sprinting down the street to get to the dealership. we get there, hop in the car and race off to the test center. we weave in and out of traffic because if we didn't get there by 9:10 i would lose the prepaid booking fee. i ran into the building at 9:11. bummer. since we were so close though the very nice lady said that if somebody didn't come for their 9:30 test that we could take it. so we sat there, biting our fingernails staring down every person who walked in challenging them to be that last person to check in for the 9:30 slot. 9:30 comes around and there's one spot left so the lady says that i can take it. thank goodness!! i was soooo nervous cause i had never driven this car before, but the tester was a super duper sweetie and everything went just nice and dandy. i passed the test just in time to help drive down to maryland. such a happy ending to an epic adventure!! :)
