aww NObody has ANYthing to say about ROADtests!?

Hey everyone!

  Im taking my roadtest (for my Novice liscence) and was wondering if anyone had any advice for first-time-road-test-taker?? I have heard certain cities are more strict then others, and wondering if anyone knew anything about it?? At the moment I am booked for a Monday at 915am in North Van, and Im thinking its a good booking?? Would a test in Langley be easier??

  Thank you!

sorry to hear that guess. i hate hearing stuff like that about people you care (or atleast somewhat care) about. the whole situations just wierd for me. we've talked about her so many times. and last time he "finally ended" it, it really seemed like it was for good. all her stuff was gone (cause in the past her stuff never left his place). he has CRIED to me before, and when her stuff was all gone we had one final conversation about how he never wants to be in a relationship like that again, in his life. o well that lasted a good month or so.

  and about the living situation...i know i do have to listen to my first thought (it not being a good idea) just in the back of my head theres a tiny feeling of security i think i would have with him? or as much "security" as i could have at my age. he's a little older...he's got his life -somewhat- figured out, i guess i mean bills and that stuff. he's got his full liscence. ha..and he's got a visa if anything ever came up and i needed help. but his personel problems far outweigh the good so...its not happening. not going to lie though, theres a part of me that wants to live with him. it wont happen though!! i promise! i have however found a 2 bdrm apartment 2 blocks from work and right in the middle between my school and my potential roommates. i have a car, he has his liscence (i only have my learners - full at the end of the summer) $825/mnth  incl. utilities. between 3 people it could be done?? maybe?

update:  (for anyone that cares)

  stuff at homes been pretty crappy however ill deal with it. i try to spend as much time at work as i possibly can (i mean i might aswell make some money if im going to be out of the house all the time right?? haha) the guy i was considering moving in with is absolutely crazy, he's back with his ex...again; for about the bizillionth time, yet he continues to ask me to move in?? imagine something horrible happened at my home and he was the only person i could turn to (atleast first person on such short notice) his lady-friend would literally bat me over the back of the head with something really heavy. he seemed really bothered by something at work today, but still wont admit theyre back together (its a long story about why he wont) i keep thinking about next year, and how i will actually do this (move out) and this guy is definitly not for me. there is another 2 guys at work that said they were looking to leave home soon, this time ones my age and another one year older. they said itd be nice to leave for summer but that seems a little un realistic and i told them next spring break.

  question: about this whole girlfriend thing my guys continuously going through...do you think he just needs someone to pay half his rent (he pays way too much for the amount he makes each month) or does it seem to you like he really likes this girl?? i know its hard to judge the situation without knowing either person - he has been looking for a roommate and was broken up with her while he had one, that didnt work out and almost as soon as his friend was out of his house he was back with her again. it seems to me he just needs a roommate.  what a bastard     haha

sorry pitbull. i guess the subject jus hits home then for you. i got a little defensive on my part. i appreciate your comments and again, sorry!

PS: he is done w/ his ex for good this time. i had heard rumours but talked to him yesterday and he just asked me what i was talking about: he hasnt seen her in 3 weeks.(when they last broke up) yay

pitbull, moving out isnt an "easy answer" for me. if it were easy i wouldnt have asked strangers opinions, and i wouldve been long gone. there isnt one person that could make me believe that what i have going on at home goes on in every home.

it is only one year:) i go to school, have job and play ice hockey, and will continue playing through the summer so hopefully time will pass quickly. thanks lise!

to be able to leave on good terms is such a big deal for me. i realise that however much we all fight and dont want to be around each other, my familys my family and theyre always going to be! thats why, you'll all be happy to hear, im stayin for atleast another year. im still in highschool and i dont want to finish my education with just a highschool diploma, i want to have a career i love and a student loan ill be able to pay off!! i dont want to be another highschool dropout, or a story for my parents to tell of how their daughter ran away from home. no matter how hard it is for me at home, im sticking it out. i have alot of friends that care about me and that will help me through everything, i know that for a fact. thanks to everyone for hearing me out! i appreciate every comment posted:)

thinking about it, i do have a "backup" place to go. the backup would definitly be a temporary place though. and itd be free for one thing while i found another.

so i have an update for everyone:

  i have heard his crazy girlfriend is back in the picture:( i saw him yesterday, he didnt mention anything except for grandma + a few friends coming over for easter. the two of them getting back together means shes living w/ him again, and i am not willing to lose sleep when then of them are fighting or when i baseball bat comes through my door. so my decisions been made up for me i guess. i probably should talk to him though...im honestly worried. i care alot about this guy (in a friendly way, dont go jumping to any conclusions there folks!)  

backround check?? this guys not a criminal. he had a really tough upbringing too. we've talked about it many times. his past girlfriend actually beat him! he'd come to work w/ black eyes and bruised ribs since he would never hit her back (defend himself) so even though it hurt him, i see it as something positive: him getting hit and never retaliating. he has been to jail, just spent the night. one night they were having a loud fight and neighbours called the cops. he was taken in. released the next morning however, cause he honestly did not touch her when questioned later. hes told me all of this, and the same story to another mutual good friend of ours, and he clearly has nothing to hide. its happened and we all move on.  

[Sorry to be so blunt, but I think it's necessary.]

Sorry to be so blunt, but I think it's necessary.

  no need to be sorry! i totally appreciate it! this is the reason i posted something like this. i knew asking a few friends wouldnt give me the feedback i was looking for.

  now another thing. money. i might as well bring it up! i obviously have only a PT job. i make $900-1000/month. rents $450, so is approx $400 enough? he said rent is really all id be paying for, but i obviously wouldnt make him buy all my food? is it really too little, or could i manage for little while?    
   

o wow, he is the furthest thing from a slob. total opposite. i think he may have a lil OCD! he told he was looking for a roommate (his last was a guy and that didnt work out at all!) he said hed only agree to living with a female or a gay guy. so cleanliness not a problem here

start stockpiling TP and toothpaste..got it! haha.
