In which we get updates from the lives of tropers. Kinda like Twitter with more than 140 characters, but less than a blog or LJ.
Please refrain from excess venting in this thread. Talking about negative emotions is fine but it's best not to dwell on them for too long. TV Tropes is not suited to deal with mental health situations.

Pff, been there, done it...
@Hopey: Most of what we do in PE is at least bearable, but it's still one lesson that's always in the afternoon, hours after any regular lessons and as such a particular waste of time. Then again, I'm biased against it anyway.
A different shape every step I take A different mind every step of the line@ Plaz.
For me:
Obtain provisional licence (this allows me to operate a vehicle under strict supervision, and only at specific times) —> Obtain insurance (extremely expensive) —> One to two years of learning —> If pass, obtain full licence, have to get proper insurance —> six months of more strict supervision —> FREEDOOOOM!
Ooooooh heck. So it seems I only need a few hours to upchuck information from a 250-page-probably-plus book to get in four pages of double-spaced, MLA-formatted, analytic goodness.
...I'm a bit disappointed.
Though it makes things easier for me. ;/ Gender studies was actually not as fun as I had hoped that it could be.
What I've learned: men can be jerks and women can be whiners.
...oh hey I knew that already!
You gotta believe me when I scare you away, all that I wish for is that you would stay@Hopey.Ah right, I forgot you had that complicated insurance scheme thing over there...
The process here is basically: Sign up with some driving school, do some theoretical stuff, start with practial stuff when instructor thinks you should, meanwhile continue with theory until you can take the test for that, finish up practical and do the test on that. Done. Canbe done in ~half a year. Be 18 now and tadah, you can drive.
Anyway, Hopey, promise me you do better than one of my cousins did, don't fail the test six times.

Well, I'm sure to beat that.
Or just take my city's glorious public transit system.
Okidoke. I'll post one in Photos when I get time, I guess.

Well my face is part of the person in question.
