Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

11:58-1:12pm Items 1-75
1:20-2:07pm Items 76-150
1:22-3:28pm Items 151-225 + review of all the items I marked

So it was 3.5 hours minus 23 minutes of a break, during which the clock is still running. So the whole things (225 questions) took 3 hours and 7 minutes.

Every time I left the testing room for a break or came back in, I had to show ID and get fingerprinted (aka “Biogenic ID”)! I had a nice cubicle in the back, so it was a very nice environment – not at all distracting (I had been a little worried about that). There were things I didn’t know. There were a LOT of items where I knew it was one of two. I couldn’t believe after so many practice exams, I still came across items I wasn’t familiar with, but that’s OK. I didn’t leave with feelings of impending doom. I’m going to make the assumption that I passed, because to spend the next “several weeks” worrying doesn’t seem appropriate (because I think I probably passed) or fun.

Next is the state exam, which is supposed to be very easy. Tomorrow is cleanup day (study detritus is strewn everywhere!), then a REAL weekend, then on Monday, I look into the state exam and get tags for my damn car (yes, I know… I’m REALLY overdue now). Tuesday is when I’ll start the currently suspended job hunt again.

Tonight is a celebratory dinner with friends and The Mountain Goats at Cat’s Cradle. Life is good… MUCH better than a few hours ago!

BTW, propanolol is a hypertension medicine. What’s it got to do with Psychology?

“propanolol is a hypertension medicine. What’s it got to do with Psychology?”

Well, there’s some side effect of that drug I was supposed to know about. Among the options was depression, and I figured if it was on the test, and if it was something a therapist ought to know about, then that was a decent guess. And it looks like I got it right! GO ME!!!

I asked your dad about it, and he says it’s used for stage fright.

Been out of country for past 2 weeks—sorry such a belated “YAY, ABBY!” for finally getting that damn test over with!! Reminds me… I’m due to re-board in 2008. Ugh.

No, SHE may have to, but I don’t. She’s a P.A., and I’m a psychologist. Don’t panic, mom!

Yeah, leave the panic attacks and stomach ulcers for me! At least it’s only every 6 years. SO proud of you, Abby.

Aww. Thanks!

I suck at sports – pretty much all of them. And I suck at directions. And games of strategy – not enough patience.
