    Today was a good day. It started out with the weather being gloomy but intermittently, the sun came up. It was a very confusing day, there were a few things going on and I couldn't decide weather to be nervous or not. Eventually, I just rolled with the punches as they say. I took the weather making an effort to be decent as a good omen. Especially going into my road test, though I was running agitated and late, as soon as I saw that this time I had a male examiner, I knew that no matter how nervous I get that it will be alright. I can't screw it up anymore than I already have had right? To be honest, though I wasn't feeling 100% ready, I only prayed that I wouldn't get into any accident. 

    So yeah, I passed, no big. FINALLY right? laughingsilly I think it was when I finally just submitted to faith in my own ability that got me through the exam. That plus the examiner was quite giving unlike the other ones that I got. He was quite patient and not domineering.

    Daddy left a voice mail congratulating me. The funny thing is he doesn't want me driving by myself. Completely defeats the purpose of a license doesn't it? 

     

    Then I had an practicum evaluation, which, by the way, I will never  get used to. But I was just having such an awesome day that I just let go. Results? "Good to Very Good" and those were the words of my instructor.Though I always feel like I'm the biggest screw up.

    At the end of the night, to congratulate myself, I treated me to Starbucks

    Grande-soy-extra extra hot-extra espresso shot-caramel machiatto 

    Well maybe its not THAT pro of an order. I remember when I just started college, how I always feel like a kid entering Starbucks for coffee/tea, since everyone is older and always have these amazingly complicated drinks, and how I find it ridiculously sophisticated. One of these days....

    To wrap up my night, I had a nice chat about our respective dogs with a stranger. I was texting and she saw my display picture. These kinds of non-invasive random talks always makes my day. This day is good indeed. 

     

    Aso and I after our evening walks.
