de-stressing friday

My exams have come and gone. All those hours days spent on completing online practice quizzes and reviewing flash cards appear to have paid off. I’m confident I passed the exam. What remains to be seen is the final grade. By my rough calculations it could be anywhere between 65-90%. I suck at judging how well I do on exams but I’m usually pretty accurate when it comes to pass/fail predictions.

To top off my day I spent the afternoon with my friendly neighbourhood (not really, he’s located 1/2 across town) dentist. On the 30 minute drive to see him I was nearly rear-ended 3 times by a cell phone toting drunk monkey. Granted, the first time she nearly hit me was BEFORE she picked up her cell phone. It wasn’t until she attempted to answer her phone that she had her second near miss and the third happened about 15 minutes into a 25 minute conversation. *sigh* I can’t believe how stupid some drivers can be. If you’re not paying enough attention to notice when the lights turn red and when the vehicles in front of you have activated brake lights on when you’re not on your cell phone what in the hell do you think you’re doing when you start juggling a cell phone between your hands and randomly stomping on your brakes.

The dentist appointment went as can be expected. Lots of care and concern. Jokes about biting and whether or not the members of the dental office read my blog (I have no clue if they do). It ended with another appointment being booked for 2 weeks from now. What can I say? I’m either a glutton for punishment or I want all the extra work done on my teeth before my awesome insurance turns into dull everyday type dental insurance.

On the drive home I was once again playing the “don’t rear-end me” game with the driver immediately behind me. This one was extra adventuresome as he chose to talk on his cell, smoke, and drink coffee while driving.

Earlier this week my boss felt obligated to remind me that I’m supposed to be celebrating finishing my courses and writing my exams and not piling on the torture. This, of course, was her response when I told her I had a dental visit scheduled for an hour after the exam. In honour of her sage advice I’m going to wave my LIVE tickets in the air for the next hour or so. *nyah* Yes, I have tickets to LIVE this evening. Assigned floor level seats in the second section. *thuuupppt*

End result: No karaoke planned for this evening but lots of great music on the horizon.

  1. Congratulations on getting your exams done and passed. It is amazing some of the drivers in our fine city. Hope you had a great time last night.

  2. I’m secretly hoping they ban cell phones while driving. Someone told me it was already in place, but I really don’t think it is yet. It may not deter all the phone users but it would be nice if it deterred a few of them anyway. And congrats on the exams all being done. I bet it’s a huge load off your mind.

  3. We’re not that lucky. Apparently the city has decided that since there’s no proof banning cell phones improves driving – I believe there may be studies underway, but no published results yet – that they’re not going to pursue the possibility of a cell phone ban for drivers. *sigh*
