Notes

I spent a lot of time banging on the snooze bar this morning, I had a really hard time sleeping last night, and I knew that I didn't *really* have to get up that early, anyway....

I did some reviewing, and suddenly it was time to go take the test.

I didn't have any trouble finding the place at all, and I signed in and started taking the test at 10:41. And I was done and outta there at 11:22....

So, was it hard? I don't know. It was multiple choice, and tricky multiple choice at that.

And the very first question froze me. "Which scan best demonstrates the omentum?"

Well, hell. I marked that question to return to later, I really had a brain fart, and I was afraid that would set the pace... but it didn't. And, of course, halfway through the test, omentum suddenly had meaning for me.

There were a lot of things on it that I didn't specifically study for, but I think that I did OK on most of them, except for the parts that are automatic on our machine, and those were a little harder, and in some cases, absolute guesswork.

All in all, though, I feel good about it... mostly, If I don't think too much about it, anyway.

13:13...
I just got back from having lunch with Karen, probably the last time that I'll ever eat at the BC/BS cafeteria. Since it was late and the food's almost all gone by 12:30, Karen ordered chicken pot pies to be saved back for us, and they were excellent.

In fact, they reminded me of the pot pies that Mom and I would buy when we first moved to Topeka, they were like 4 for a buck, and really, really good. Had to heat them up in the oven for 45 minutes of something like that. Beef, chicken, turkey and tuna.

There are all sorts of things that I should get done this afternoon... I briefly considered going in to work, but I decided against that... but I'm mentally and physically exhausted.

21:38...
So, when in doubt, take a nap. It worked pretty well, it did.

And, the more that I think about it, I'm not gonna be surprised if I flunked that test. I'm fairly confident that I passed it, but not *that* confident... and, like I said, I haven't really taken a test for thirty-five years, so what do I know about test-taking?

When I finished the test, it said that I would be notified in four weeks, but the monitor lady said it would be more like ten days to two weeks. I think that I'll just forget about it until I get the results back, and then celebrate or whatever...


Thanx for being here!
