<p>Hi all - well, I guess I'm officially an Ohioan now? I drove through very slushy, slippery streets (with a quick trip back to the apartment after I realized I forgot some important docs) to the local BMV. However, after 10 min in line, I was told (actually, I'm glad that they did) that I needed to go to another location several miles away through more slushiness because they were the only location available on Saturday to take a written test.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Waited in line for 45 min only to be told that I needed to go next door first for the test (thankfully, the clerk told me that provided I pass the test, I could go directly to her.) I went next door and spent another 45 min to take and pass the test (on a touch-screen computer - oooh, fancy!), then headed back next door and waited another 15 min until that same clerk finished up with the customers she had at that moment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Everything seemed to go fine after that, but for some reason the clerk said my test results were nowhere to be found, This meant another 10 min delay where the clerk had to go to the testing site to verify my passing (the clerk who set up the test there apparently hadn't entered in something correctly). I then showed jusssst enough documentation to prove I still wasn't living in California (no, I drove 2500 miles across the country to give up my perfectly valid California drivers license because the Ohio license is just so much more pretty <span><img alt="rolleyes.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_2_1327195538393_162" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif"></span>), became a registered voter and organ donor, and after another 25 min or so, I had my bright, shiny new Ohio drivers license.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Afterward, I made a cross-town trip to grab some coffee beans (for grinding for our french press) and new wipers. During that time, I was asked by a store employee if I knew at what time the Buckeye basketball game was showing. I was a little dumbfounded until I realized the winter hat I was wearing (a welcome gift from a friend in the area) had a big-ass red Buckeye "O" on the front.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Okay, maybe not yet.... <span id="user_yui_3_4_1_2_1327195538393_344"><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"></span></p>
