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.
