VICTORY IS MINE
Ooh, my head. I am hungover, because I got drunk last night, because I was out partying, because I passed the Foreign Service Exam. It was so worth it.
I passed all three sections, ending up with a final score of 5.7. The cutoff is 5.25, maximum score is 7, and almost no one ever gets a 6, so a 5.7 is a strong pass. Especially if I pass the French proficiency for extra points I should not be languishing on The List for long. I'm happy and excited, but it still feels sort of unreal. The next step is clearances: they gave me an info CD and a stack of papers afterwards, which I will go through once I can focus again. Monday, maybe. And I'll put up a more detailed recap later, for the Inquiring Minds who want to know.
