Yipppppeeeeeee!!!! The test is over! Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers. The test was tough and I really don't know if I passed, but hey, it's OVER!!! O- V-E-R! The last few weeks have sucked in terms of constant studying, but hopefully everything will turn out okay. Yes, it's true, I usually always think I fail but somehow, someway I pull it out. This time I don't feel like I failed, but you never know. Maybe since I am not as freaked out means I actually did fail?! Who knows. Actually I just don't care today. The post-test margaritas this afternoon took all my worries away, at least for now. I won't find out the results until October, so no sense in obsessing about it now, right? Thank you all again who kept me in your thoughts -I appreciate it.
So, Chrissy thought it was all done, but today was just the written board exam. Even if I passed, I still have to take the oral board exam next year! Yes, the ABA ( American Board of Anesthesiology... not the American Bar Association for all you lawyer readers) requires another brutal test where you are locked in a room with 2practicing anesthesiologists, who grill you for an hour, about anything and everything. Then you go to the next room where 2 more anesthesiologists get to grill you again! Doesn't that just sound frickin awesome! I can't wait! But once that is done, you are good for 10 years - then you have to re-certify, but only with the written, not the oral exam. But, first things first... let's just pray I passed this one so I can move along. And to think, Chrissy will have to put up with me stressing out all over again!
Now it's time to focus on the move - only one week left in DC (we still have to do our family picture at the Lincoln Memorial) then it's off to the Rouge. I don't start work until September 2nd, so that gives us a little time to settle in. We're gonna miss D.C. but it will be good to be closer to our families, especially with Lucy. That's all for now - I'm off to celebrate some more! Goodnight!
