Well... These past two weeks as my sister Valerie would call it, I was a hermit. Not seen, not heard from, nothing. I was in super exam mode. I had three tests within a week period for my Real Estate class. Granted one was for practice but I still took it seriously. So since the 17th it was nothing but my head in the book and notes. I did very well on my test on the 19th, then my test on the 24th (which was practice) was accompanied by no study due to a water leak situation. Then it was super study mode from then on til the 26th.
I went into the class saying a little prayer for everyone and received the exam. I was on question 16 out of 100 and just wanted to give up and cry. I have never taken such a hard test for the amount of studying I did. I sucked up the tears multiple times and finished. I re-read my test to make sure I wasn't making a silly mistake and then turned it in. I left feeling like I was defeated. I called Daniel and told him not to expect me to have passed. I would know later that day. So I went out to get my hair cut and forget about it for a while. When I was getting my hair cut, the phone rang and I figured it was Alex since I had just texted her about 5 times. It wasn't. I later figured out it was my teacher to tell me I passed!! WOW!! I did not expect that at all! I then of course called Daniel asap and was soooo excited! I talked his ear off and then had to get to packing. That afternoon, Alex and I were to go to Durham and then to the beach!
I got to packing and then had to go get my test. From a class that started with 11 people, then went down to 6 by the end, with three of the people that were in the class (being their 3rd time) I was so stoked that almost everyone passed. We all took the class seriously and studied hard for it. We made friends and had a good time learning everything. So when I was able to review my test, I realized I made a couple silly mistakes but will learn from it for sure.
So off to go get Alex I went later that day. We first went to Qdoba (no comment) then were on the road to Durham. We stayed at Daniel's Grandma's place for the night and I was surprised with a little congrats gift. So SWEET!! We all chatted til I couldn't keep my eyes open (1015pm) then went to bed in anticipation for a big day tomorrow.
Woke up WAYYYY too early (615) to get going on the road by 630. Packed up the cold things, said our goodbyes and were off to the beach. We stopped at Bojangles on the way for breakfast. We were supposed to eat healthy for breakfast.. but those bo rounds were too tempting. :) After a trip to ht and the coffee shop we landed at the beach. It was time for relaxation. Alex knows all about Wrightsville and where to park and everything so she was my navigator. We had a good time and just soaked up the sun.
After our quarters ran out, we grabbed burgers at PT's grill. Apparently we went to that place years ago with Evan and his former girlfriend but I don't remember. O well.. it was back in January of 2003.
So off on the road again back home. It was a short trip but when I got back, I felt like I got a nice vacation. :)
Until the next slumber party....
