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.
