UGH!!! This Test!

Well, as I said not long ago, sometimes your life turns to crap. Before long, it starts to straighten out and things start to get somewhat "normal"...and then you get a "hey, I was just teasing" slap.

I still do not have my test scheduled. I didn't understand that you had to PAY to take the test before the state will let you schedule it. After thinking back, when I was in LPN school we paid for our test DURING the school year, we didn't do that in RN school. Anyway, I paid for the test this week-end. I called the state and they said they didn't have my transcript. After freaking out, I called the school who then called the state. After providing them with the tracking number the state found out that it was signed for and they don't know where it is.

They are now, well, not right this moment, looking for them. I am trying to think positive. I have not been studying like I should. I spent so much time taking practice questions that it seemed like my brain was turning to mush and I was missing questions I shouldn't.

Of the many, MANY frustrating things about this whole situation is that when it comes right down to it, it really doesn't matter how many questions you practice or how much you read to prepare. There is no way to learn everything that could possibly be on the test.

It is what it is and it will be what it will be. One way or another, I will pass the test. If not this time another time. I won't be the first person to pass or fail the test, and I won't be the last.

I'll just be one of the many, who, after climbing the mountain and reaching the top, look back and say "I did all that worrying over something that would have the same end result either way" and then try to find a new mountain to climb.
