I passed!!!!

I took my CRT board exam today and I passed. When I saw my score I did not react the way I thought I would. I suddenly felt overwhelmingly tired and beat up. I had studied virtually non-stop for two weeks preparing for this exam, and when it was finally over I just felt numb. I think the best way to describe it is, "surreal". I did feel relieved, but there was no display of exuberance. I had just spent 3 full hours answering 160 questions, and I was literally out of energy.
This was just the first of three steps. I will take a couple days off to give my brain a rest, and then start studying for the next exam. I am looking forward to the end of this journey. It has been long, and it has been hard, but I know it will be worth it.

Wow, that describes what I went thru three times! okay four! when I came out of my first job interview, i felt like i got hit by an ambulance. I think the release and joy will come with our first paycheck. Then, we will see the fruits of our labors. I still giggled all the way home saying to my self, "I'm a CRT! HA!", then, "I am a RRT!". Just keep plugging. you will do fine, but you will feel confused even after doing well on your next two exams.
