How It's (Ideally) Going to Go Down
The plan as of now:
Take final exam/graduate: February 17 (Tuesday)
Take National Exam review class: February 20 (Friday)
Take National Exam: February 21 (Saturday)
Start arranging application for State Exam including getting my transcripts from Goucher and the National exam sent to the State: February 21-22 (Saturday and Sunday)
Leave for Portland: February 23 (Monday)
Return from Portland: March 2 (Monday)
Apply for State Exam: March 3 (Tuesday)
Hopefully this means that I will be ready to work by the end of March. The only problems I foresee are getting the National Exam and Goucher to send the state my records with enough time to take the exam in March or that the National won't process my paperwork with enough time to take the exam before I leave for Portland. And the possibility that I might not pass the National, but I'm not really taking that into consideration. My classmates think I'm insane. Most of them probably won't even be taking the National until April given all the red tape around it. But I might have a job prospect and the idea of having a job and clients is a light at the end of a tunnel that seemed endless a week ago.
