So the DMV. The department of motor vehicle.
Most people don't exactly enjoy going to the DMV. Actually I'm pretty sure there is no one that actually likes sitting in a florescent lit room with about 200 other people waiting in uncomfortable chairs as you pray to god that a large number of people will suddenly get fed up and leave so you can get your stuff done. No such luck.
Everyone is in for the long haul. I definitely thought multiple times whilst sitting in my chair "I could just come back tomorrow earlier than 11:17 am and this whole process would be so much easier". But this thought crossed my mind about 45 minutes into waiting and then I was just too stubborn and lazy to actually have to come back on a later date. And who knows if it would have been any better? So I sat in my corner seat on the end of the row and watched the door and awkwardly made accidental eye contact with almost every single person that came in. Now,I'm usually a social person but today since it was Monday and I was at the DMV with a whole monotony of people that looked a little rougher around the edges, I just stayed put and didn't talk. I read Pride and Prejudice and it nearly put me to sleep but I couldn't fall asleep because then I would miss my turn. Usually if I'm on a long car ride or flight I can fall asleep and pass the time that way, and its just peachy. But I couldn't do that!
ALSO! Pride and Prejudice seems to all be about how a persons place in society at the time was all about the money their family had and not really about actual love which put me on a whole whirlwind of other thoughts...
Anyways!
So after 3 hours of waiting after what I expected to be an hour ordeal, I finally left. And let me tell you, after sitting in there for 3 hours and filling out paper work and then at last taking my picture for my adult ID I was free at last! I seriously felt like a light from god came down when I walked out of the door of that god forsaken place.
However, the lady helping me was extremely friendly and gave me a fist pump, which I did not suspect at all. How can someone be so cheerful whilst working at the DMV? I just baffles me!
Anyways, new form for over 21 ID in hand so I can actually get into bars and leaving the DMV was so good!
Another funny thing happened today that I was actually a part of.
So as you know, my family is a bit odd but I love them all to pieces. So today Claire and Owen, (my younger sister and older brother) were wrestling, like most normal siblings do. Yeah not really.
And Owen said something to the fact of that Claire wasn't female.
Claire replied with "Well I've only been a girl for 16 years!"
...
And I said "Claire, arent you 17 years old?"
Shes actually 17 and a half
This started a whole discussion about what was Claire for that other year and a half besides a girl.
You just had to be there.
DAY 5!
