No longer an invalid

Well, folks, the title says it all. I feel like a legitimate person again. "Why?," you ask. Well, I passed my driver's test. Before now, I couldn't legally drive here. That was partly my fault, as I had applied for a driver's license back in September, and wrote the multiple choice knowledge exam but as I am an international driver (and we don't have cars, or rules of the road in Canada) I had to take a behind the wheel test. So basically I got a learner's license, but rendered my Alberta license invalid. They didn't punch a hole in it, but I didn't want to take the risk in case they pulled me over then ran my name and I came up as a learner in CA system. I Didn't really have a reason to take the behind the wheel test (not having a car and all), so I never did anything about it. Finally got sick of it, and also knew that I had need to drive approaching, so I booked a behind the wheel test and, lo and behold, I passed! YAY! Now I have a little piece of paper which says I can drive. My snazy California drivers license and ID will come in the mail in a little bit (actually not so snazy - the pictures are in color, which is nice, but otherwise the card itself looks flimsy and cheap, not like the (relatively) new Alberta drivers licenses). But anyways, not being able to drive (i.e. to borrow a car, to help someone out if they've had too much to drink, etc) sort of makes you feel like a lame-o, even if you know that you can drive, just not legally. But now I no longer have that problem.
