やったぁ~!!
FINALLY, after 3 lo~~~~~ng months I got my Japanese Drivers License today!! More than half of that was spent on taking care of my "resident registration". I also had to take the driving test 5 times before I finally passed (today). You have to wait at least a week in between tests so that's why it took so long (and I also had to wait 2 weeks before I took the test today due to schedule conflicts). My first time I got a big fat 0 because I hit the curb in the crank turn and didn't stop and redo it. My second time I got 50 pts., and my third and fourth time I got 60 pts. (70 pts. are needed to pass). I'm not sure what my score was today since 合格 was written in place of a score, but I'm sure it was well above 70 pts. this time.
Anyways, "that's a HUGE burden off my shoulders" doesn't even begin to describe how I feel!!
