My Upcoming Month of Unpleasantness
Somehow it turned out that I missed taking one of my certification tests four years ago when I was taking them. I don't know how that happened, but I do have some ideas. In any case, this came to light now that I am being reviewed for permanent certification. This means that I have to put my nose to the grindstone in the next month in order to take the next available session of this test at the end of May. It's a 4 hour multi subject test, enveloping all of elementary content areas with both multiple choice and essay questions. :::sigh::: This is giving me anxiety over what is supposed to be my restful break. The test will be taking place on the same Saturday as the show that I am the Technical Director for. I am really hoping that the show is in the evening on that date because I doubt I would be able to make a matinee. Of course this also means that the month will not only be occupied with studying, but also with the show prep stuffs.
It is also time for me to go back to the dentist. It's been 6 months. And I know for a fact that I will need much more than a cleaning. One of my fillings has been falling apart and another tooth has been filling sensitive. The later will need a crown, I know, because the dentist has mentioned it to me on the previous visit but said that as long as it doesn't bother me, he won't pressure me into it. It's been bothering me for nearly the entire 6 months since my last visit. I am not looking forward to this ordeal which I am sure will drag out through the entirety of May, if not into June.
In about 3 weeks, I will also need to go back to my most visited doctor of the year. Sorry if I make any of you boys uncomfortable, but it's been 4 months since my last OBGYN visit which means I need to go back for the follow up visit and see how my wacky cells are progressing. Hopefully they are not, but I am mentally getting ready for a myriad of testing and prodding, which followed the last such visit. Also, if things are still progressing at this point, I will mostly likely have to finally succumb to that procedure that just plain burns the layer of cells out completely. And this too makes me quite anxious.
Well, I certainly hope that this little spillage of info will free up my mind a little and allow me to relax a bit more in the remaining days of my vacation. I did have a lovely start to it, aside from the test related stuffs. Both seders at my parents' house were great. My mom made this amazing Apple Crisp thing that was amazing even thought it was made with matzo meal. The apples were dominant and the matzo meal worked well in the Crisp department. Yesterday my parents and I took a trip to a newly opened Target in Brooklyn which is actually within an almost easy reach by public transportation. It's not even entirely finished yet, the construction is still continuing, but they opened it up. I bought lots of good stuffs there. And today I took a trip to Union Square which reminded me how much I love it. Barnes and Noble, DSW, Whole Foods and walking in the park... mmm... The day was good.
