Why do I say this? Because learning things at 45 has been a real struggle for me. I’m sure I put way too much pressure on myself to learn EVERYTHING quickly. Plus I have this amazing office with all the cool shit I could ever think of having. But that coupled with a timeline that I had no idea whether or not it would work…
Disaster
Yesterday I finally let up just a little bit, didn’t stick to a schedule, and make a shit ton of handy sticky notes. I waited until the end of my study day and took the test that I had to pass with an 80% or better to finish the class.
BOOM! 81%
It’s not my proudest moment, but I do feel like it nudged me over that block in my head that stopped me from doing a decent job. Now I just have a state-level test to take, one more course, and a state-level test for that one. When I look at it that way, it sounds daunting. For now, I’m looking at passing this first test. I know I can do it. Because I need to, because I’m smart enough, and dog-gone it! I don’t want to have to pay $55 twice if I flunk it.
Wish me luck, fuckers!
