So, yesterday had to be one of the best days I’ve had in a long time! It didn’t start very promising, however.

I woke up in the morning and started my temporary ritual of checking the weather channel and tanking up on water before heading in to class. It was 34F out. That’s not very good news. Before all you blubber lined northerners chime in, that’s extra cold because I’m riding in on a motorcycle. But, Thursday I acquired my new jacket and gauntlets! YAY! I get to test out new equipment. So, the 34F was not bad at all thanks to technology.

Class was typical. I spent a week staring blankly at the projected images on the whiteboard. All of it, shit I already know.

“Are you learning anything,” inquires the hopeful instructor.

“No…”

Later he asks again, “How about now?”

“Christ…”

Anyway, after class let out I had a talk with my uber-supportive better half, and one long, whiny conversation later, I find myself taking the MCP exam which I’ve been dreading for about a year now. Just to be clear, the whiny part of the conversation was me trying to make more excuses to not take the test… Why so apprehensive? Let’s see, because I can’t score anything above 78% on the practice tests… No matter how much I study… Well, yeah. I passed the stupid test by a considerable margin… Christ. So, that sword is no longer dangling above my head. Time to get promoted at Spacely! :)

I got to celebrate my victory by taking a nice extended ride on the bike with a cute redhead on the back. :) Is there anything better than that? I mean, really! :) Take care out there!

Getting ready for the ride! WOOT!
