Thwarted by Congress: she serves my coffee but doesn't take her test

Here I am on my late afternoon coffee break, being served by Evalina who has been working at getting her private pilot's license. After much study, preparation and practice she found herself ready to take her written exam, so feeling all excited she went off to take it. When she arrived, she found the FAA closed down as part of the government shutdown. The House of Representatives had prevented her from taking her test.

Poor kid, all that adrenaline with nowhere to go. Please let us know when she passes. I remember when I did mine, and more recently saw in my neighbor's son, it's the single most important thing in the history of the universe. I passed well but was equally thrilled to get away from the instructor whose breath was so terrible that after having to share a tiny cabin with him I'd fall out of the plane gasping for oxygen.
