I
recently graduated from a Physical Therapist Assistant program making
it the third time I have graduated from college. Third times a charm
right?!? But I still had to sit for a our state licensure in July.
Graduation was in May but so was a bunch of other stuff like my bro
graduating from Tech, my mom having surgery and my husband and I
traveling to the midwest for a week. So basically my procrastination
kicked in and studying didn't happen in May. Like at all. Oh
procrastination you sneaky devil you!
So here is what the month of June looked and felt like while I prepared for my exam...
First
I started out all studious and prepared with my study guide, note
cards, high lighters and post-its galore. You know if you have colorful
highlighters and post-its you're like half-way there right? Wrong!
After
my week long initial surge of motivation I settled into a dule routine
of waking up around 7, eating breakfast, clearing breakfast from table
and sitting at said table for the next three hours reading and
re-reading through my study guide.
There were the MULTIPLE times I took practice exams and felt like this afterwards...
And then my poor husband would come home to this...
He didn't really know what to do...poor guy.
And this explains why I gained wait studying for my exam.
I had to bribe my dog with treats to get her to let me study because other wise she would be like this...
Then about 3 days before my exam I took the most wonderful study break EVER in the history of man kind and went to see Grease in sing-along form with my friend. I sure did sing my little heart out!
I'm glad I took that break because otherwise I might have had a breakdown much like this.
On the day of the exam I am pretty sure I looked like this.
And after the exam I went home and only felt like doing this for days.
I
had to wait a week for my results and of course they came the day
before my birthday. I was determined not to look until after my birthday
because I feared the worst, but my classmates were posting on Facebook
about their results and every body was sending texts so I really
couldn't avoid it like I wanted to. Luckily it was good news for me
because I passed! Then I felt like this...
