I would go into a long story about how I stayed at the Wingate, couldn't sleep
last night for a damn and spent all of the last 9 months being a hermit, but I
read Joe's email already.

I'd like to thank the people on this list, my friends and family who have
helped me get through this and given me support. One thing about my story
that is different...

7:10AM "take seat 21" -Howard (that's good luck right, or at least winner,
winner, chicken dinner)
7:20AM "OMG, I have failed this exam already, I should just leave" - Internal
conversation with myself.
.
.
.
.
6PM - land in DC, already answered texts / emails and phone calls with "did
you pass?" no, but I feel like I'm gonna vomit...
. ... check email.... ... check email...
.
.
12AM - thank god this wait is over.

Both of the proctors were great, Howard and ... =/ not too good with names
right now. I will add to what Joe said earlier and maybe it help others in
the future. The proctors are there to help you, they know me well, I visited
them over 10 times. Even with the IE mock labs, I pestered Scott at least
that many times for each of the four labs.

Speaking of Scott... it's time to burn those audio CDs, I can't have him
talking to me anymore.

Time for another beer.
