No, not really. I did nothing but fly my schedule and study/test on the days off. My wife and dog were still in the States so it was easy to get lost in the stuff. The impressive ones were the ones who's families had already come over and they still found time to get it done.

I was still too scared to take the Irish driving test. They had a 58 percent failure rate and I just couldn't bring myself to deal with it. Now I just have to do a written test for my new state.
