    and this time it is in England - I am soooo scared, I am sure to fail specially because my driving instructor agreed with my yesterday that I would...and the day before in my mock test, I had 26 MINORS!
Gah. I don't even know why I am taking the test and even more why I am scared because I know I wont pass!

I was thinking this morning that if there would be survivors of global warming (this would be in two cases: a. when it happens and there would be a few rich or clever people who survived b. when global warming is a hoax and everybody survives woo!) that a good way to eliminate our road traffic/awful trains/rude bus drivers issue would be to replace our entire road structure with conveyor belts.
This has many advantages than one would imagine:
1. People would not need any cars - now given that it takes more energy to build a car (oh yes those detailed 8-bit microcontroller engines) that it would spend in fuel for it's entire lifetime. Now one can argue that one needs a car to keep out the bad weather - sunshine/rain and whatever not, but my stand on it is that a car can then be replaced a collapsable tin box with wheels (perhaps a little more fashionable than that) that you the conveyor belt to keep your junk.
2. The number of accidents would greatly reduce because the conveyor belts would control the speed, so all people would have to do is feed in some details about the journey they want to make. And like today's GPS it would calculate your route and unlike today's gps, it would also drive you there! Now again one can argue that oh we are relying too heavily on computers to make judgements like that, well the airline industry does it. Even your traffic lights are very tightly controlled by computers and so the risk we are posing ourselves to right now is comparable to the risk we would be facing then.
3. We would not even need parking lots or even train stations since people don't need cars and the tin box is collapsable, people can store it under their bed or something and therefore big giant parking lots near airports and offices and parking centres can then be changed into something more useful, Depending on whether a or b happens above it would either be a landfill site or if it's a b then it could be flood waters?
4. Anyhoo, last and final point in my theory is that this way we can get rid of the shitty trains and we would only pay a fixed tax depending on our usage etc. It would be like jetsons but only on earth!

So what does everyone think? (although bear in mind, there can be energy saving additons such as not using the conveyor belt when there is a tinbox on it and stuff.)

I am already thinking of a fancy name for the tin box because in 100 years i will be famous, of that i am sure!

this should give you a laughing start to the day! :P

(that's all the german i know!) but with german being a powerful language, I am sure everyone understands how bored and tired I am.
I have checked everyone's blogs (read it back to MONTHS!) facebook pictures, done puzzles and WHAT NOT! But I am still bored, so I am going to obsess about the job interview i went for on Friday, which turned out to be awful  and i won't hear back from them (if at all) till this Friday - that's FOUR MORE DAYS. Gah!
