California driver's license

Today, I visited the California DMV for the very first time to get my license. After a cop stopped me for a speeding ticket, he warned me about how they would impound my car if I don't get one. So there, that's a convincing motivation.

So a couple things are different about Texas DMV and California DMV: you can set up appointments online in Cali. That was pretty sweet, no waiting in line for me, I'm a busy Asian. So everything went smoothly, my number was called barely after I sat down.

The other thing is that there was a written test, not a computer one I took when I was 18 in Texas. Seriously, if that technology was available back in 2001, it should be even more common in 2008. Bunch of people standing in booths hunched over with pencils to mark in little squares seemed so 20th century.

Anyways, the passing grade is 6 errors or fewer and I got 5 wrong, meaning that I passed, but barely. Pretty good for a guy who didn't study.

Well, now I just gotta wait for two weeks for them to mail me the card. Bitches punched a hole in my Texas license so it is void now. Damn them.

There it is, a boring entry.
