Yesterday I took my exit exam. It was definitely a "stress test". Not the kind you are thinking of, but definitely a stress test. As I sat waiting for the test to begin my forehead began to sweat, my hands were clammy and I felt my heart palpating in my chest. It might have been wise for me to take the test in the same environment as the man in the illustration below. I'm sure that is how many of my classmates felt. One girl text me before class to say she had butterflies in her stomach - big deal I thought - I have condors flying around my belly. 
Despite my anxiety I endured the test and actually passed. I shed tears of relief, gratitude and shear exhaustion and I remembered my favorite quote by Wilma Rudolf, "the reward is not so great without the struggle".

We may be out of the woods for now, Robin. Now off to war!!! Off to the CRT and RRT licensure exams!! way to go! I am so glad we passed. I even ate lunch in the church parking lot before class. Every little bit helps.
Robin!! Way to go. But, did we doubt--not for a minute.
