So, I took my nursing boards Tuesday. 75 questions, 40 minutes. I walked out of that building convinced that I had failed. Diseases I couldn't remember, meds I'd never heard of, and some coughing guy I was convinced was going to share TB with everyone. While over quickly, it was still hellish.

Did my best to put it out of my head, since at that point there was nothing I could do about it anyway. This morning was my turn to sleep in, so I was. Then, at 7:22, I sat bolt upright in my bed when I remembered that today was the day I could check my results online. Dreading it, I went downstairs and logged in, input the appropriate credit card info (the first $200 I gave them wasn't enough, they want more to see the results...), and apprehensively clicked the 'next' button.

I PASSED!!!

I know, I'm as stunned as you. Actually, Meg described it very aptly when she said "I wish that you would have as much faith in yourself as everyone else has in you." That was a humbling moment. She is so amazing.

I am so relieved that I am done. Really done. Now I can read guilt-free, play my games, paint my miniatures, and most importantly, see my family!!!

Life is good!!!
