get used to it

well you'll all be disappointed to learn that i FAILED my learner's test yesterday. but not by as much as i thought originally. you see, the lady at first told me there would be 25 questions, and i need 80% to pass, therefore i could only answer 5 wrong. when i was taking the test, i checked my status report to find there was actually 35 questions, however being in the nervous state i was, i couldn't remember if she said 25 or 35, all i remembered was i could only get 5 wrong. after getting my 6th question wrong and letting out a little cuss word under my breath, i just tried to get through the rest of the test quickly so i could get out of there. seeing as i had already been waiting for almost an hour i had no desire to be there any longer.
so this morning when i thought about it, armed with a calculator, i realized that if i had only answered ONE more question correctly, i would now be the proud owner of a class 3 learner's license. so what did we learn here today kids? never give up, always try your hardest right to the end. it's kind of like in baseball when u hit the ball directly to the short stop so you don't even really try to get to first, but then he screws up or something and it turns out you would've actually made it had you tried. that's kind of how i feel. i'm going back today to dominate that friggin test. but today i've been reading that blasted book so much i don't know if i remember anything or if it's all mush. we'll see i spose.
