Damn Tests!
I am taking my boards soon and it is getting down to the wire. I'm a complete stress ball but I hear that is normal. I will keep you all informed of my passings or (gulp) my failings. I just took a practice test that one of my firneds let me do with her account to a prep class she took. I got a 59%...before you panic as I did, it turns out that that is about where I should be! They say getting a 65% means that you will pass with flying colors. So my colors may not be flying, but they might be floating just past the passing level. I'm okay with that. Of course, unfortunately, this will not ease my nerves. I will probably be a "wonderfully" fun person to live with this next week. Thankfully, my friend Kelly will be visiting me this weekend! Perfect timing! I have to wait 3-7 days to find out how i did on the boards. I will pay the freak'n 8 dollars they charge you to find out earl--otherwise you could wait up to 2 or 3 weeks. No thanks. I'll pay those F'ers. What's 8 more dollars after a 35K tuition? Ha!
Anyway, these tests are a real trip. They each have several correct answers or a trick hidden in the question. A trick that is easy to overlook or misread. And when I say several correct, i mean really only one correct but there are other correct answers...but one is the BEST! They are a real mind-F*$#! So, I have been trying to do 100-200 questions a day for the past few weeks. Afterwards my brain feels numb and I feel like I've been holding my breathe for hours when I finish.
Okay, well, here's to my 58% and the glass of wine I shall now enjoy...I earned it damn it! (um, wait...Is that the reasoning of an alcoholic? hee hee!?) i guess that's not really funny. anyway(s)...
Tomorrow I will post some new pics of the bean from the weekend.

I can imagine your stress. Give yourself lots of breaks and little treats! You have been working so hard for so many months now. I am sure you will do great. I love the picture of the orangutan. That is exactly how I felt when my online test crashed on me. I still don't know my grade since I had to reapply for the loan they are holding my grade. Argh! Lemme know when the test is so I can be praying for you! Say your prayers and ask to be calm. It helps.
