I received my Western Australia issued drivers licence in the mail today. Its got a nice hologram on it but other than that its nothing special. I’m glad to finally have some Australian issued ID. It’s a class C licence which means I can only drive cars “equipped for less than or equal to 12 persons” – should suffice. A friend from school was telling me they issue licences for manual or automatic cars. The registry place didn’t ask me anything about my driving abilities so I hope I’m okay to drive a manual. I’m planning to pick up a small hatchback car which will certainly be a manual.
The other notable thing that happened today was another trip to the doctor. When I got home from class this afternoon my left foot started hurting. I took a rest in bed for 45min and when I got up my foot was hurting even more. I decided to go see the doctor because I was really in a lot of pain. The doctor wasn’t much help and told me to ice and elevate my foot for 24 hours. At the moment, the pain persists but hopefully it’ll be better tomorrow. I have a four hour practical lab exam this Friday and I need to be mobile.
That’s all for today!

Sweet job of posting, Spence. We're all still reading these. I saw Claire two days ago for Thanksgiving. Good times! I'll have to send you some pics. Did you ever get my card this time 'round?
Oh & that sucks about the foot. Who knows what it'll turn out to be...?
That Drivers License will make a sweet souvenir someday.
Wince.
Hey, why not get an automatic? I mean i know that a manual is a lot more fun to drive, but i think that with your school and learning to drive one the wrong side of the road and all... Well, it just might be one less thing to worry about learning and unlearning when you come back, you know?
I think that I am going to get rid of the tercel family that I have here and drive the Audi full time this winter, what do you think?
Spence,
You can view a photo of a Trabant by checking it out in Wikipedia. Also,there is a photo of the actual car on the boys alternative blog which you will find at alf69.livejournal.com. Lots of photos of beer and them drinking beer and one of the car.
Let us know what happens about your foot.
Tricia
