El Condor Pasa

Hello, Earthlings. My test is over. It took every minute of the four hours and I didn't even have a chance to check my answers. Some of it was really hard, and some of it I felt pretty good about. It was broken into two main sections, and I am hoping, hoping, hoping that I passed at least one so I won't have to go through that exact painful experience again. I think I speak for all of us when I say, that was painful. I get my scores in one month, and I'm pretty sure I failed the section that included science, but I really do hope I passed the other section. The best part of the whole experience was when I arrived early with about 40 others to check in and the examiners asked if I was there as a proctor. Yes, they thought I was giving the exam, not taking it. Aging. Neat.

Before I tell you guys that I have another test in two weeks - I don't want to make anyone panic - I thought I'd blog a Moment of Zen with a meme that I stole from Sizzle and Kaply. Ready? Zennnnnnnnnnn . . .

  1. Oh my gosh, they thought you were there to give the test. That made me laugh and totally feel for you at the same time (I am a year older than you, after all!). Congrats on getting through a big one. I'll pray that you get wonderful (or at least passing greats) on both parts of the test, and for you to have a great day surfing tomorrow. Love you girl!

    PS, that bird is awesome, just like you. :)

  2. Nice bird choice. ;-)

    I can't believe they thought you were the proctor. Talk about stereotypes.

    I'm betting you did better than you thought.

  3. I didn't know you'd been to Lucca!! That is great! I love that place.

    I am rooting so hard for you as you tackle these tests. I admire you for going after this goal!!

    Also, I have listening to the CD you sent me a LOT and I am obsessed with it. :) Esp. the Jeremy Kay song. To me it embodies the hope I see in you.
