Well, I said I need to sleep. But then, I worked on the online course to apply for a driver license. So, it's done. The next thing is to work on the online Learner Permit exam.

I've been working on the said-to-be-four-hour online course on alcohol and substance abuse for months... I simply don't have much time to sit down in front of my notebook and read the alcohol effect and traffic law. And many times when the chapter was assigned for a minimum reading time for 20 minutes, it could take me up to 40 minutes before I was confident to proceed to the chapter quiz. I had to get the questions right before I could move on to the next chapter... So it's a lot longer than four hours.

Now, I'm one step closer. Need to study the road signs and traffic law for the Learner Permit exam. Got to get it done in one time or I'll have to pay to re-test. That's the last thing I want.

Just one more course and exam outside the graduate school. I can do it!
