Standardized tests are the devil

So... It's been a few weeks since I found out that I did not pass the Praxis exam. (It was totally a timing thing. None of the questions stumped me or anything... I know my stuff, and an essay test at that... I'd be unstoppable... except for my lousy timing.) There's this little problem I have.. see I have to pass that exam if I don't want to wait ANOTHER year to enter the art teacher credentialing program. But the next administration of hte exam is in June. That might be too late.. which means I might be screwed for this year.
I know Jill will be smiling when my ass isn't there in the fall... but I don't give a crap about Jill.. I care about my CAREER! I don't wan tto be delayed in my humble goal of being an art teacher. AAAARRRGGGGGHHH!!!!
Maybe this is a good thing. Maybe this will give me time to get my act together and pitch around my tv show. Maybe this is all part of God's plan. Allthough I think my karma with God is shot ever since I've started picking epistimelogical arguments with members of the local single adult ministry. (I'm probably getting docked points right now for using the word 'karma' in the same sentence with 'God". Who freaking knows.
I hate red tape man. I need to do something, and I need to run with it. So my choices are....
1) just bend over and take it and wait another year to become an art teacher... or
2) Become a rebellious artist and try to finally carve out a living in the entertainment industry.

I wish I didn't get tired so easily.... and that my vision wasn't shot. *grumble*
