Well folks, I did it. I passed my licensing exam!  I got a score of 82%, which blows my mind.  I thought for sure I was failing it when I was halfway through.  Imagine my shock when I saw I passed with such a high score....

I honestly hope I do not have to get any more licenses, the stress sucked!

The countdown is on and I'm really freaked and stressed out.

I take my next licensing exam this next Saturday and I'm not at all confident that I'm going to pass.  I've been studying a lot since January 28th (when I got my online access), but nothing seems to be sinking-in.  Every time I open the book and start-up the online lectures, it's like the first time I'm hearing/reading it.  Yesterday alone, I studied for about seven hours.  Today will probably be about the same, then Monday through Friday I'll spend each afternoon/evening taking the online final exams.

This thing is at the back of my mind all day, every day.  I always think I should be studying, so then I get stressed out when I'm not. My friends know I have problems sleeping and this hasn't helped.

It's been tough studying for the exam, plus learning a new job and trying to get every day stuff done.  It turns out that I was supposed to have been able to study at work for at least an hour each day, but I didn't find out until after we were well into March. Plus, with the folks I work with, I wouldn't have had the chance anyway.

I need to pass this exam for my job, so I hope that, when the time comes, I'll be able to pull the information out when I need it and that this time next week I will have my new license.

Fingers-crossed!!!

I got up early this morning, stripped the bed and got the laundry done. Like I said, every day stuff doesn't stop just because I have an exam.  I still have to put clean sheets back on the bed, once I have aired the mattress out, folded the clothes I got out of the dryer, put everything away.  Then I will crack the books.

My place smells like Gain from all the clothes I have hang drying all over the place. It smells good.

Once I'm done with this test, I really need to deep clean my apartment. It's gross here. Plus I have things I need to return to the outlet mall. I should probably look at the receipt and see how long I have. Either that or I have to lose a bunch of weight to fit into the pants I got. I hate that stores aren't consistent with their sizing. And I hate the fact that I'm fat.

I feel scattered! Sorry if this post was disjointed.

Okay, so my extra huge flat, yet fat ass needs to get to the gym, so I had to call the one I belong to today, because I can't find my card. It's been so long since I've actually set foot inside a gym, that I was surprised to learn that they have card-less entry now.

So early tomorrow, since I now have my membership number, I plan on going over and setting everything up and maybe fit in getting a workout. I'm hoping it will be an easy process and maybe I can start going after work. I've been having problems sleeping again, so maybe if I work out, I will be tired when I get home and maybe get to sleep when I want to go to bed.  I've been averaging only a couple of hours a night the last few weeks.

I guess I've had a lot in my mind.

What do people wear to workout these days?

I was supposed to go to the special Thrilling Adventure Hour performance last night, but I really needed to try and study and get some sleep. I failed miserably on both counts.

Hopefully physical exertion will help.

I also need to get a pedicure at some point this weekend.....much more fun than working out, I think. Ha!
