When you go to the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles...I think) to take a road test to get your drivers licence, only to get a flat tire minutes after you've gotten the licence.
I guess that's how life tries to keep my pride balanced. NOT GONNA WORK!
PS: I only took the theory test last Autumn, which gave me a Operators Permit. I now have a Drivers licence. Don't ask me what the difference is, cuz I have no idea.

Weekend update!
Oh, gosh. This week has been painful. The simulator took us all by surprise by multiplying the amount of traffic we had last week. And we barely managed the one last week! But on Tuesday we got the nice little information that the evening class didn't have to go to school because of an imminent blizzard around the corner. Whoop whoop! The dreaded blizzard ended up being a little bit of snow in a little bit of wind. So a few of us decided to go to the movies instead. Only to get a new shocker when I got up the day after and found a revised study guide on my e-mail, going from 17 pages of reading material to oooh, about 65! O.o Needless to say, I didn't do much else than read after opening that e-mail. But I ended up on a 92% score! :D Phew...
The plant got a little bit of alcohol last Saturday. It still hasn't recovered from that.
Definition of illogical:
When a bunch of people wants to watch the soccer-game between Norway and Denmark, and ends up at our apartment since we have a big-ass TV. But the illogical thing is that there are 2 other apartments with the same TV, and people living there who actually wanted to watch the game. The 3 of us living in #109? Not really that interested.
But I gotta say, it was fun. We rearranged the living-room a little bit and stole a couch from an apartment upstairs.

Weekend is almost over, and I thought it just began...
This Friday I found out that I'm great at multi-tasking! I sat down on my computer, only to find that 3 people wanted to chat with me on facebook.
- The first one was my cousin who wanted me to play an online game with him. And I really wanted to, since I hadn't really talked to the guy for a long time. I know. Geeky. But is't social in an anti-social way. Honest!
- The second person on facebook wanted me to come visit him and his roomies and watch TV.
- The third person was 2 guys who wanted to just hang, drink a few beers and chat.
The solution:
Get the 2 guys to join me to the second guys apartment to watch television, chat and drink a few beers while I sat in the corner in their living-room and played games while skyping with my cousin. Problem solved!
Also, a quiet evening the next day with just a few drinks and playing board-games with a handful of people turned out to be a slightly huge party instead. The best part? When one guy was going to pierce another guy in the ear with a needle. When he was sterilizing the needle with a lighter, he burned his finger and dropped the needle in the toilet. But that didn't stop them! They just picked it up again and didn't bother to wash it before sterilizing half of it again.
Cut to scene:
While Drunkard 1 was trying to make a hole in Drunkard 2's ear, which was harder than you would think:
Drunkard 1: Oh. Oh! OH! Yes!
Drunkard 2: Owowowow! Did it go through?
Drunkard 1: ...no.
When they finally got it through:
Drunkard 1: It's through!
Drunkard 2: Awesome
Drunkard 1: Don't push it further in. Or you'll get toilet water in your ear.
Note: I have it on film. All 11 minutes of it.
Later on, when people started leaving our apartment for another after-party upstairs, I had trouble going to bed. Mostly because 3 of the guys from the party took over my bed. So I took some pictures of the bromance, and went upstairs to the after-party and stayed there until 6 AM instead.
In other news:
I just agreed to help a buddy out with his 1979 Mustang Fastback while he was trying to get some air pockets out from the braking liquids. The reward? Join him when he tested the brakes afterwards. On the highway. at 80 miles per hour. :D
Cut to scene:
Buddy: *brakes* That's all the brakes I have? Let's hope no moose runs onto the road. *vroooom*

Aaaaw, crap.
This Sunday was the day we went over to daylight savings time. And my clock decided to do a practical joke the day before:
.... Perfect... just perfect. timing. FML.
Cut to scene:
Roomie: But you can just wait until autumn, and then it'll be correct again! .... only... you're in Norway then.
Me: Yah.
Roomie: But you can just wait until it runs out of battery or take the battery out, and put it back in when the clock is right!
Me: It's solar-driven.
Roomie: Ah.
.... Perfect... just perfect. timing. FML.

Is it weekend already?
Not much to tell here! Finally returned to the simulators this week, and we all had some dust to brush off of our phraseology and stuff. But it was still much more fun than the awesome power point lessons in the classroom.
Since I had the late shift this week, I got to drive my fantastic Cadillac to school :D But since I don't have a student parking slip yet, I have to park further away from the school entrance. It may be only 50 meters, but those who know me knows I'm a lazy b*stard.
So I went to the traffic office one day to buy one, but when I got there a sign said that the office had moved to another building, which I didn't know where was. FML. So I gave up that day, and decided to come back the day after when I had found the new building on the internet. But when I showed up there, the guy said I couldn't buy one, because I had already bought one. For the car I share with my roomies. FML.
In other news:
I showed off my brilliant spelling skills to my roomies the other day.
Cut to scene:
Me: I'm off to get some food! F O D!
Roomies: ...
Me: ...err... F O O D!
Also, the interview of me and that other guy in my class came out this week. It didn't really say much. But, apparently, I'm "afflicted with a hereditary taint" by having a sister who's an air traffic controller. Why didn't I come up with that sentence myself? I like it!
Sis, you're a taint. Shoo! (Yes, yes... the translation from Norwegian to English can also mean hereditary streak... but I chose to ignore that fact.)
Aaaaand here's a picture of my shoe in another shoe.
I'm so going to borrow these shoes one day and walk around outside. My feet fit perfectly in my shoes in his.
Yeah. That's about it for this week! Not much going on, really.

Definition of Absent-minded
When you go to the gas station across the street from school and buy 30 dollars worth of call time for your cellphone, and then manage to throw the receipt in the garbage moments later. Where the needed pin-number was written on... FML
Also, I didn't dare go back and buy another one since I know it's most likely the same clerk working there every day this week.
Also, also, the phrase "Death by Power-point" finally made sense to me this week. I don't have to go into it, but here's the short story:
I LOST THE WILL TO LIVE THIS THURSDAY! But then I wen't home and ate some cheesecake, so it's all good now. 297 slides. In 8 hours. All text. You do the math.
