As of this afternoon I am now licensed to drive in the state of California.
Apparently my "getting things right on multiple choice tests even if you aren't sure of the right answer" skills have held up rather well since high school, because I only got one question out of thirty six wrong.
Of course, next week I have to go back again and register my car. You need to get a CA license within 10 days of starting a job here, but you're given 20 days to register your car. I still can't figure out why there are two different deadlines for that sort of thing, but whatever...
Now all I have to do is finish this whole "Getting an Apartment" thing and this week will be a total success...
