Hmm...has it been longer than a month already?
I am now all signed up to take the Professional Engineer exam in october. And have received the letter saying that they'll actually let me take it, which means my experience and education are sufficient (which is always reassuring, I suppose). So yesterday was the first day of my review class for this exam. Overall, the class is kind of worrying me, because I'm worried we'll go over something that wont look familiar to me at all. That, and I'm really not looking forward to going to a 3-hour long class 2 days a week for the next 10 weeks. In addition to already going to work. So Mondays and Wednesdays, I'll (supposedly) leave home to go to work at 7:30 am. And get home around 9:30 pm. Good times.
Thankfully, the first day of class didn't go too badly. The material we covered looked vaguely familiar, and it didn't seem too difficult. Of course, the test will be 8 hours, consisting of 80 "6 minute" problems. I think I'll be doing a lot of practice problems, so that the problems really do take me 6 minutes to do.
In other news, the twins are coming to town this week. And the twins are currently .5 games back from the wild card lead. So baseball is pretty exciting. And football season starts soon. And Madden '07 came out today. so lots of fun stuff going on. Granted, I don't plan on getting Madden '07 or NCAA '07 until I get a playstation 3, which could be a long wait.
