dchenesIrony is alive and well and living in Kent.
See, this morning I was so nervous about the driving test that I forgot to bring my checkbook with me to pay the licensing fee. So I have to go back to Ravenna again and pay the licensing fee and get the actual license. My learner's permit and the two pieces of paper that say I passed are good for 20 days. The irony is that here I am, having passed the driving test, STILL stuck in Kent because the buses don't run in the summer. According to the bus schedule, such as it is, it's going to take me about four hours just to make the trip, never mind standing in line for the license. I wonder if anybody who drives is still here? [EDIT: Never mind. Apparently I can go to the deputy registrar in Kent and get the license there. Thank goodness.]
The other irony is in the fact that if I consolidate my student loans, I get a guaranteed low interest rate. Unfortunately it means I give up the grace period on my grad school loans, so I have to borrow some more money from my parents at one point above the prime rate in order to pay the government, until I get a job again. I'm not sure there's any way I can win in this situation.
C'est la vie; I just wish la vie wouldn't walk around snickering up its sleeve at me quite as much as it does.
