The Quarter Life Chronicles

Yesterday started out badly.

It was the day I was scheduled to take my CDL Road Test and I was stressed out.  I was awoken a half hour before my alarm by the ringing of my cell phone.  It was my boss, wanting me into work a half hour early. 

My friend and I got into a disagreement before I left the house-which left us both in tears.

By the time I got to work I was a nervous wreck and barely got through the morning.  I was late to meet up with my driving instructor that was taking me to my road test (though, I still had plenty of time to make it on time). 

It was pouring rain and for the life of me I could not parallel park successfully.

I braced myself for failure and hoped for the best. 

By some miracle I passed the driving test...perhaps not with flying colors, but I passed.  I managed to parallel park on the first attempt.  I did nearly collapse after it was over, I actually started crying with the relief of getting through it and begged the instructor to drive home as my nerves at that point were completely shot.  Thankfully he happily obliged.

I got back to work to warm wishes of congratulations by my boss and a coworker.  I was finally able to calm down enough to concentrate on some paperwork left by the house nurse.

I came home and my friend and I made up and went out to get coffee.  My friend hadn't canceled plans afterall so after a quick trip to her sister's to grab a slice of pizza we prepared to go out with our friend.

The evening ended at a deserted bar where we took control of the jukebox and had a good timed planning a few future weekend trips.  We arrived home after 2am and I promptly feel into bed and passed out from the combination of sheer exhaustion and the couple of drinks I ingested during the evening.
