disappointment

I took my 4 hour credentials exam today and found out I didn't pass. I came close though, which is a little consoling and then it makes me mad. I just hate that all that studying I did was time away from my kids that I'll never get back. And now I have to do more of it. So that's what's hard about it for me, besides the fact that I feel like I'm not smart at things like this and suck ass at standardized tests. (At standardized everything.)

I want to let myself be sad about it. I can't retake it for 90 days minimum which is very good. I just won't think about it for a month and I'll focus on Christmas around here. And painting our room with chalkboard paint and getting a rad headboard and all white bedding. That is my new plan. Stan.

I just took the GRE and felt like I was a stupid drooling buffoon for days afterwards. It's very humbling and agrovating to see your intelligence translated into a (low) number.

If it makes you feel any better I'm not very good at standardized tests either. I think you're right, you should enjoy your family and Christmas!

I agree forget the flippin test and concentrate on what really matters your family and times with them. I know you will pass it next time anyway. I have to take one to get into any grad school i am so not looking forward to that. I too always feel like a complete baffoon when it comes to standardized tests. If you asked me to write a essay telling you everything i know about something I would have the highest grades. but alas not all is essay and so i suck at the pick a, b or c type standardized tests. its a wonder i pass my referee recert test true or false. uh uh uh.. neither.. oh thats not a option dam ... :O(

I had no idea. Many sadnesses. But your plan to postpone frittering about it is a good idea. I have best wishes that you will succeed then!
