Procrastination Skills: I gots 'em

I don't really know where this post is going to go today.  Honestly, I'm actually procrastinating studying for the written half of my certification exam that's TOMORROW!! Holy freak I'm finally doing it. 

Haha, I have put this stupid thing off for two years and I really would like to pass it.  Unfortunately, it's also Spring Break, and I'm working at least 30 hours this week.  Motivation? Yeah, none of that in me right now.  The only motivated thing I did this week was make it to the temple (finally) after nearly 6 months.  I guess I have a bit of a lecture from Trent coming in this weeks letter. (Which was supposed to get here yesterday and didn't arrive) But, he told me I could ignore it when I told him I'd been in my e-mail on monday.  I'll probably read it anyway, I deserve to hear what he has to say.  Unless he wrote an entirely different letter. Oh geez, I hope not.

So, back to the test.  It's been widely known that it's not overly difficult if you know your stuff.  Which, I feel I know my stuff, but then again, how can you know that you know?  And you need 80% to pass it, which means I can miss 20 questions, and still pass that section of the test.  But who wants to miss 20 questions? I mean come on! Yeah, you passed, but knowing I could have done better than that would kill me.

Then again, i wont have to fork $120 (that I don't have) out of my own pocket to pay to re-take the test.  which might not happen for awhile. My schedule is so stinking hectic, I wouldn't want to worry about it.  But worry about it I will.

So, here's the deal, I'm going to try my hardest to pass that test EVEN if it's by the skin of my teeth.  I need to pass it, I can't wait anymore to get on with my life.  And I'll tell you, I'm done working minimum wage jobs.  If anything, they've pushed me to finish my education and actually take the dang test.

Ok, enough for today.  Sorry to bore you with my great procrastination skills, but I'm worried that I wont do well.  I guess all I have left to do now is just try and hope that it works.  What's the worst that can happen? I don't pass the test. Oh well. I can retake it. And I'll have to if I want to ever become an interpreter. :)
