It's all over but the cryin'....

Well, it's over!

I took my exam on Tuesday. Lots of people have been asking what the exam is like.  It's all computerized, so you have to sit in a room with a bunch of other people with cameras and mirrors and such all over you.  I practically got strip searched prior to going in to make sure I wasn't bringing cheat sheets or anything in with me, and they give you a dry erase board, marker, and eraser for notes.  The exam itself is 6 sections of 60 questions each, over everything from cows, to sheep to dogs/cats, birds, turtles, and even business questions.  The maximum amount of time allowed for the whole thing is 7.5 hours, it took me about 6.5.  That's a long time to be sitting at a computer using your brain!

Needless to say, I was completely fried when I finished, and I really have no clue how I did.  There are lots of questions that are "trial" questions, and they don't count, so it's hard to really try and figure out how you did. Once everyone is finished taking the exam (The testing window ends December 13), they will go through everything and decide who passed and who didn't, and we'll get something in the mail in Late January/early February. So until then, I'm just going to enjoy life! 

Speaking of which....I now have the daunting task of cleaning the apartment/unpacking. Since I moved in last week and had no time to do so, the apartment is just a huge mess right now, and I really have no idea where we're going to put everything, but we'll figure it out somehow I suppose!

I decided today that if I was going to attempt to clean anything, that I should probably try and remove the one thing that makes the MOST mess in the place. DOG HAIR!

So here is my attempt....


2 Hairy Dogs (well actually, it's really just Sam that's the big problem, but Ryno wanted to be in the picture too).

PLUS

 A wonderful Piece of equipment (Furminator)

EQUALS

A large amount of hair that's in my garbage, and not on my carpets! Holy Crap! 
(Yes, that can was empty before we started!).

Congratulations! That sounds similar to the boards I took - I remember wanting to go out to celebrate, but just staring at people because I didn't have enough brain power left to participate in conversation! Still, there's nothing like being done!

There's nothing like the furminator, either. I'm a huge fan! Expensive little comb, but such a worthwhile investment!
