Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.

Merry Christmas!
i enjoyed the atmosphere of Christmas though i am not christian or it is so commercial. since last week i attended driving class in an academy and today i took the license exam on paper. for this exam i got up 5: 30 am , going over the practice questions, though 20 minutes later i fell into sleep again till 7: 30. after eating a morning apple, i hurried down to take the bus from the academy, 8:05 sharp. it was there standing by. there were many people taking the exam today, old and young people. by a seemingly touring bus, we were taken to a place named "young xin" it took us one hour to the destine and after some red and black stamps, finally we went into the room arranged neatly by computer for exams. as a foreigner i needed to show both the passport and ID card. we were required to choose from 4 choices, totally 40 questions within 40 minutes. at the first glance, the questions seemed to be very ambiguous. i was confused a lot. but after finishing once, i looked over again composedly. i changed several choices after serious consideration. finally i finished all and pushed the ending button. 92.5 points. my god... i got 92.5 out of 100 points. 70 points is enough to pass so i wasted 22.5 points^^ later i got to know there were 2 people failed among us. anyway, i felt relieved after this exam. from tomorrow i needed to practice driving and also another exam is waiting for me. a little hard to drive the truck but it was great fun when it moved driven by me... i could drive before long^^ happy . though it was christmas, no special schedule. no idea completely.
