A rousing 2-hour class began at 8am, with our very German teacher asking how many out of 25 or so were taking this for the first time. How many would you guess, 80-90%? Me too. Nope! There were about 4 of us who were taking it for the first time. Everyone else had failed at least once before. Now when your teacher tells you it took one man 2 years to pass the test, you start wondering what the heck you are doing there. Just give up. Ride the bus for the rest of your life. Don't even try. But then I quickly realized the cumulative IQ in the room was possibly less than the average of 1 person. Too harsh? You should have been there...I mean there were people that missed 25% of the test on their SECOND and THIRD tries. Did I mention it is the same test every time?? (Jason also informed me later that a lot of soldiers will fail on purpose so they get out of driving government vehicles.) Crazy to me!
100 questions. You can miss 15. I only missed 2. It was a great success. Although, I kind of want to know what I missed! I mean, this means there are at least 2 things I will think I'm doing right when driving here, that I am absolutely doing wrong. Another very German man who graded the tests (right in front of you and everyone else - that's how I know how everyone else did) called me the teacher's pet. Come on. I just really only wanted to take this once.
So are you ready to see my totally embarrassing German driver's license?
Well I hate to disappoint you! It's just a temporary piece of paper. No awkward picture to laugh at.
Now if I can just get out and actually drive! I keep telling everyone, though...it's baby steps. :)
