This was technically due yesterday, but...

So, boards. Yesterday.

Planned to get up at 5. Woke up at 4:30 and in that half hour, I died a thousand deaths.

Got to the site bright and early. I tried to look at nerve papers while pacing around but I ended up putting most of my focus on trying to calm.

Took the test. It was ok. Some of it I just didn't know and had to force myself to accept that and that I would get the question wrong. When the exam got to 100 questions (the minimum) I was praying it would shut off, but it didn't. I admit, I was devastated. I continued to 118.



I exited to the front desk where the lady was folding the print out of my results. I was looking but trying not to look and the glimpse I got was "FAIL." I almost keeled over.





I opened the letter and in big bold caps was "PASS".



























































I went to the bathroom and cried. I couldn't believe I actually did it. Eight years of work and 150K of debt later. I'm a CRNA. I'm free. Done. I can have my life back. I still can't believe it.





After making a billion phone calls, I raced home to spend 1.5 hours trying to get designer Disney dolls. Shiera captured the moment pretty well. XD

After that, I had lunch with Mary Ann at Matsu and then we went to see The Phantom of the Opera. Hugh Panaro, do me now.

We went to wait for them backstage (the only 2 fools there), but they didn't come out. We did see Angela Basset coming out of Mountaintop (play with Samuel Jackson). Went home after that.

It was a great day. <3
