No more a learner

OK, I would have liked to have posted up a picture of me actually setting my plates on fire, but since my sister is going to use them I won't be having that pleasure. Nonetheless I am pleased to inform you that I have passed my driving test. It feels good to have got it out of the way and I'm certainly glad not to have failed. I was never that fussed about driving, most of my contemporaries having long passed their exams, but it is a useful skill to have and being able to go to meetings and outings without requiring a lift or public transport is quite liberating.

It was an interesting day as it started in omen like fashion with the arrival of my Degree Certificate. I thought nothing of it at the time and still do not, but it was nice to have both areas of my life rounded of nicely in one day - a day for certificates it would seem. It also showed that I am no longer a "learner" in more than one sense. I have often joked that I'm "never going to learn anything else again now" but it would almost seem to have a sense of truth to it, now that I won't be having lessons of any kind for the forseeable future which is strange to think of and indeed I am finding it strange without the imposed structure on my life that learning provides. But nonetheless I am glad to have passed both my degree and driving test and to have recieved trophies for both.

And before closing I'd like to quickly apologise for being absent - it's been hard to choose what to talk about, but you have to acknowledge I've done faily well - I mean I did three posts in one day, that's gotta be a record!! more to come I hope, it's probably about time i did another Writer's Bloc and I have an idea brewing for one.
