Crunch time

Well tomorrow morning I am off to Fargo to sit for the CRC exam. (certified Rehabilitation Counselor) I am very nervous about the exam. I don't do well with tests and the panic is already setting in. I have studied non-stop for the last 2.5 months and figure I have a good understanding on everything. The funny thing is there are two ladies that are in my university classes and the one admitted last night she studied for the first time for the test for .5 hour. OMG .5 hour of studying??? I have studied at least 1 to 2 hours most days for this dang test. I wish I really had her self-confidence about passing. I don't want to be negative, but I am prepared to take it again in the fall if I absolutely have to. I just feel like I have not worked in the field directly like others have and while everything I have learned has been mostly book learning along with the little bit of time I have spent in my practicum and internship, it doesn't make up for the hands on knowledge of someone that has held a rehabilitation counselor job for several years before taking the test.

Grrrrr I am so nervous and scared about the test. I leave tomorrow, get to Fargo, figure out where the test is given at than find a hotel. I am going to be studying all evening. Than when I get home on Sundy, I turn around and leave for Helena for trainings at work till Wednesday night. I do have to say the pressure of knowing that this test will be totally off my shoulders for the next couple months till I find out if I pass or not will feel so great!! I just don't know what I am going to do with all my time, I have been in college non-stop for the last three years. I have a list a mile long of things that need to be done, starting with my house. It has had the very basics in cleaning the last three years that it is screaming for a deep cleaning and paint job.

Well I am off, I will post again when I get back from Helena.

Holy Cow it has been awhile

Wow it has been awhile since my last post. I have been one busy person this spring. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I am planning to break through the end of this month. I am finishing up my Master's degree this semester. I thought this would be an easy semster because I just had to work on my internship and one Psychology class I am taking for my counselors license in Montana. Low and behold, I didn't realize how much time I would spend studying for my exams. I take my comprehensive exam for the college next week on Friday the 13th. That exam I am not so worried about as I am the CRC (certified Rehabilitation Counselor) exam I travel to Fargo, ND and take on the 28th of this month. That exam I am worried about because of several reasons. One being that it is 300 questions, and you must get at least an 80% to pass and get your license, and two because if I don't pass it, I will have to fork out another $385 and take it again next fall in November. I am spending ever spare moement studying right now.

Boy do I have plans once I am done with everything at the end of this month. I plan on really cleaning and painting my house. The last three years have been so hard on my poor house. My family has really picked up the slack and done some major cleaning, but not the deep cleaning it really needs. I am also planning to spend a lot of my free time scrapbooking and working on some projects. I will be teaching a 20 layouts in a day class on May 12 and need to be working on that. I am looking forward to having so much free time. Okay back to the books for now.
