Next chapter of license saga completed!  I have taken my pile of documents into the Department of Motor Vehicles to be registered.  Now I have to wait a month for them to put all of my info into some computer somewhere, return to the DMV and sign up to take the written exam.  At that time I also have to take a receipt showing that I have deposited another 14.62 euro into the appropriate account.  Then they should give me a date, time and place for the exam.  Of course not everything went smoothly today.  We left at the break of dawn to get to this place (on the other side of the city) early enough to avoid the lines.  We were obviously not the only ones to think that way.  There were already dozens of people milling about, waiting in line, smoking cigarettes (outside).  But we grabbed a number and only had to wait 20 minutes or so.  In September I had downloaded the full instructions on how to attain a license from the DMV's web page.  I have followed it religiously, checking off each step as I go.  Alas the page was a) not up to date or b) written incorrectly in the first place, because I didn't need my notarized photograph, but I did need a photocopy of my identity card and they would have liked another regular photo.  Thankfully there was a functional photocopier in the lobby and they let me pass with 1 less photo.  Now I have a month and then some to practice the online tests that I started yesterday after finally finishing the damned manual I've been reading for the past 4 months.  The tests are helpful in that they show me just how much I don't know and what I have to go back and reread and try to memorize which is impossible because I have menopause brain which is ten times worse than pregnancy brain.  I'm going to school now.  xxoo me
