I spent the entire weekend cramming my brain with information, in order to take and pass my licensing test today.
By Sunday evening, I'd succeeded in reducing myself to tears from studying like crazy - only to end up with Kellie reminding me that I would be okay, that I just needed to relax from time to time.
The good news is, it worked. I passed the test, and I am an officially licensed Fire & Casualty Agent/Broker in the state of California.
Today, what almost had me laughing was the test proctor. I had a feeling that if she weren't getting such great benefits as a State employee, and if it weren't illegal, she'd probably be a dominatrix (of a non-sexual variety). With her tone and demeanor, I almost wanted to say "Yes, Mistress" and giggle after hearing her telling us the procedure behind beginning the computerized testing.
Now, I'm here dealing with that "coming down" after a stressful experience. And to compound it, add in the moodiness and other crap associated with PMS. I'm trying to do what I can to not over-react to little things and turn into a full-on stress puppy.
If I've ignored anyone - I'm sorry. This weekend, as you could probably guess, has been wrapped up in me studying, and trying to keep hold of my sanity. And sometimes, doing those two things can be full time jobs in and of themselves. :-(

Ugh!
But, I'm so happy for you!! The releif of not having to study is awesome, isn't it?
