The DMV was actually relatively painless. I was in and out in less than 45 minutes, temporary license printout in hand. Yes, I passed the written test which kind of surprised me because it was based on a bunch of esoteric California driving laws that are detailed in their driving manual, which I haven't seen. No, they weren't common sense questions, they were specific questions like "You have completed an XRTC-12 form and returned it to the DMV within five days because you: (a) sold your car, (b) got in an accident with damage over $500, or (c) are moving." Huh?

The thing that was most distressing to me (as it is for most people) was the picture. They made me take off my glasses, which I basically only take off if I'm sleeping or showering, so the picture is definitely not what I expected it to look like since I hardly ever seen myself without my glasses on. The other thing is that I realized just how tubby I've become over the past few weeks.

As I've said before, one of two things happens when I get stressed out: I either stop eating entirely or I eat everything in sight. Guess what I've been doing? So now I have to find myself a gym so I can lose some of this tubbiness because over the past few weeks, I've been hoovering everything in sight and I've gained a lot of weight. It shows. Ugh. Though, understandably, since I've been under a ton of stress what with moving across the country & starting a new job & finding a place to live.

Work beckons!
