Drive by posting to let you all know I'm still alive. I'm an M3 this year, which is so much work its making the past two years seem like high school.

Well, its over. Two solid days of hell, but its all done. I was as ready as I could have been so now all I can do is wait to find out if I passed.

I think its going to be alright.
