This morning I had my promotional exam that I have been studying for. Over the last few weeks I have been studying most every day and it has been hard on both of you. I have missed every swim team practice, school pickups, a lot of dinners and we have have not gone on a bike ride in a month. The usually routine was to drop you off at school and head to the library until dinner, or sometimes after yall were in bed.
So here's how it works. The fire department releases a big stack of books three months before the test. That's when everyone digs in and starts to study. I first thought that I wasn't going to study but I changed my mind a month before the test and started studying. My thought was I could just give it a long shot try and see if I could make the list and avoid the three months of studying next year.
I questioned myself everyday on this if I was doing the right thing because if I did poorly it would be a complete waste of time and I missed a months of y'all for nothing. If I do well though, I won't havev to study for the next year, or for the next four years.
Well this morning was the test and I did okay and it looks like I might have a chance to promote!
The next step involves people protesting questions, which could change the list, but right now I'm in a decent spot. So hopefully things go smoothly and I promote and b won't have to study for 4 years.
