I Passed!!!!!

I found out today that I passed my praxis exam. So I am officially licenced to practice Speech Language Pathology (well almost....there is lots of paperwork to be processed!). The test was really hard to finish so I had to SPEED through a lot of the questions, leaving me pretty nervous about the results. I had actually kind of forgotten about the test until I realized that my results were going to be posted so soon!! I got an email today at about 7:30am saying results were posted! However, I was too scared to look this morning so I just left the house without ever checking. On Tuesdays am in a group that works with stoke patients and today we were going on a field trip. When I got there everyone was so happy and talking about how they passed and I was SO mad that I was too chicken to look at my scores! So I called Betho and made her look them up for me. It was kind of hard for her to figure it out b/c I had given her the wrong user name and our conversation went something like this....keep in mind we were texting:

Betho: I can't seem to log into your account, you may need to wait and just do it later.
Me: Do it! It can't be that hard to figure out, I must know!!
Betho: It says you passed.....I think....what do you need to pass??
Me: (can't text back.....having slight panic attack!) What do you mean "I think???" What is my score???)
Betho: Ok here it is, never mind, you passed for sure!
Me: Ok thanks so much!!!!!!
Betho: You owe me BIG TIME. My hand has been shaking for 10 minutes....can you imagine if you would have failed!?
* so I owe Betho big time for taking on that stressful task for me! Love you Nug!!! :)

So needless to say that was one of the most stressful 10 minutes of my life and all the while I was on a tour of a printing press pushing wheel chairs and trying to act interested in the tour. However, I don't think I was fooling anyone!! So next on the agenda, find a job!!!
