I'd hoped to have my license before the snow but it looks like we're getting hit this weekend. My housemate hasn't been available for me to practice so I've only had 15 minutes behind the wheel in the last 10 years, which is probably why I scored a 20/100 on the road test.

The real challenge is finding an available test appointment during their busiest season that coincides with the limited availability of my housemate to accompany me to the road test. This ordeal could stretch out for months.

My next test is on Tuesday, this time in the heart of downtown. So I'll have to make up 55 points worth of competency in the next 6 days, on top of having to take the test downtown and (likely) in the snow.

I can't wait for this to be over with.

I brought him inside to eat and warm up, but had to put him back outside b/c he had fleas.
