Certification | Last Day

Thank goodness that's over!

More sitting, only a few notes worth taking, a few practical exercises (both literally and figuratively) and then it was lunch. An hour's worth of time for me to eat, reflect, study and mentally fortify myself from being sick to my stomach with nerves and then BAM! Test time.

All in all, it wasn't a terrible experience. I'm confident that I did well on the written test. There were only a couple of questions that truly gave me pause. The practical exam is where things start to get fuzzy. I was so nervous that I ended up doing exactly what I didn't want to do: talking too much. I think I did okay on it (I know I could have done better), but I'm not quite sure... that whole experience is blurred now.

Now it's "hurry up and wait". I may not know whether or not I'm certified for upwards of six weeks. Or it could be as early as three.

I wonder if I'll get a thick or thin envelope in the mail?
