egad!!

I still dunno how to pronounce the word 'egad'. used to read it in the Archies comics in the good 'ol days :)
neway, the reason for this expression to come out from the bottom of my heart - driving test scheduled on Thursday. Yes people. I am an alien in this country...and i do have to actually take the test to get the license - which btw, expires along with my visa validity.
Unlike mera pyaara desh, jahan i could just get it... :-D 1300 lage thay last time...don't know the going rate!
