I’m not feeling too confident about the study guide of the manual, so I just purchased the Premium DMV Cheat Sheet. It should be easier to prepare for the exam. I must make sure I pass that exam on the first try, otherwise I would have to pay extra to retake it.

Ok, keep me updated.

Here’s a picture of the first three pages, just so you get an idea of what it looks like:

Have you signed up for the drug testing class?

Assuming you need to take it that is

They haven’t said anything about that. I only know I’ll need my ID and social security number

Ok cool, keep it up

Why aren't you going to the drilling session?

Wait, what? What drilling session?

The event happening tomorrow. The one where you will be taking an uber to Wayne and sleeping at his house to come drill at 7am

November 20th, the one we have been talking about for weeks.

Oh snap I thought it was on December! Okay, now I’m confused. I remembered we’re meeting on December 4, but I didn’t remember anything about November 20.

Hello Lawrence, hope you’re doing well. I had to work all day today, so I didn’t have time to take the test today. We had such an unexpected overwhelming amount of customers today unlike ever before that I wasn’t able to leave until 4:15, and the DMVs close at 5 PM. But I already finished going over the cheat guide yesterday, so I’m finally ready to take the test. Since I’m off this Friday, I’m going straight to the DMV to take the computer test. I’ll send you a picture of the permit once they give it to me. Have a Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍽!

Glad to hear Phillip, keep up the good work. No need to send a photo of the permit, I know you wouldn't lie to me.

I was going to take the permit test today, but the DMV is closed today. I told my parents that I was ready to take the test, and they advised me that I should take the practice test first. That was how they got to pass theirs, so I’ve been spending hours yesterday and especially today on taking practice tests so I can be ready to take the test next week. I understand that you’re losing patience and my apologies for that. I’ve been having anxiety for that test all week. I’m still up for the December 4 event and am looking forward to it.

So long as I can see an effort being put forth and progress being made I am satisfied. Of course, this has its limits, but you have not exceeded them. Remember Phillip, this is being done to enhance your life, we are here to push and motivate you to achieve your goal. Keep up the good work.

Besides getting better at the practice tests, I’ve been packing for the trip. So far I’ve got the navy blue jacket, brown leather gloves, empire tactical khaki cap, patches, white ski mask, promats a plenty, medical masks, hand sanitizer, and a bathroom packet all loaded in my backpack. I don’t have a canteen, but I have a metal cup that can keep water ice cold for at least 24 hours. For sunglasses, should I take my prescription sunglasses or just regular ones? Anything else I’m forgetting?

Perfect. You might want to consider bringing both kinds of glasses.

I was thinking the same thing.

I’ve got really bad urgent news Lawrence, I just told my parents about the camping trip I was going to and all of a sudden they just threatened to kick me out of the house if I don’t postpone the trip. Now I’m having the same problem as Marcus FL did before which resulted in him having to leave us. I don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t know how I’m going to be able to join you guys in demonstrations with this kind of madness going on in my household. Even if I had just snuck out, it wouldn’t have made a difference. I’m not trying to make excuses to not go, I was all ready to go. But once I told my folks about that I would be leaving tonight and gone for three days, they just told me that I’m not going and if I do, they’ll disown me. I’m not kidding. They gave me a choice, either I don’t go or I can’t live in the house anymore.

Leave then.

I’m afraid it’s the only option I have left. Do you need anything back?

Are you able to live on your own?

You are a grown man now Phillip, you cannot let your parents boss you around like this.

If I don't see you at Paul's by 4am I will have to terminate your membership inform Wayne of your decision. I'm getting some sleep now.

With my deepest regret, I’ll have no choice but to give up on the membership until I can afford my own house. That’s one thing I’m trying to save up for. I wish you all the best of luck.
