The third try is not always a charm

So... I regret to say that today was my third attempt at the practical test of the Spanish driving test and... yet again, I didn't pass. :-S The guy who also took the test told me that he felt worse for me than for himself (he didn't pass either, his second try), because yet again I did everything right EXCEPT one little thing, I didn't stop long enough at the stop sign. I by no means would call it a rolling stop, in fact i stopped twice, once at the line and once a bit farther ahead. BUT apparently it wasn't a COMPLETE stop. And unfortunately the examiner today was really nice. She didn't even make me parallel park. So...that means another 200+ Euros, the really bad news, and that I have to wait until the end of January for the next one. I really don't understand why this is taking so long. It seems that the only times I do something stupid, like not wait enough after stopping is DURING the exam, when it matters. Suffice to say I'm a bit frustrated, but am also choosing to trust that God has a plan in all of this and that he has this too in his hands.
