The next stage

Well, Part 1 and 2 of the writtens are over, and now it is on to the orals. One more day of hell, with a little mini one in the middle (our practice orals). I think I did OK on the first part, but who can ever really know? It is know up to the orals to help bring my mark up (or at least not make it any worse!).
I took a couple of days off, went to a small conference, even went on Facebook, but now it is time. Again, the call of the books, the call of more knowledge, the fear of failure, and absolute desire to have all of this over drives me.
8 weeks left. 7 weeks of preparation and 1 week after. Then, I will pack up the place that has been my life for the last five years and venture onto that awful highway for (hopefully) the last time. I will start a new chapter of my life. One where I am a professional. Where people seek out my advice. Where I live with my husband, and expand my family. Ah, doesn't that just sound like bliss?
I just have to keep telling myself that I can do this. It is just an exam. There are more important things in life. Even if I fail, the worst is over. I can write it again, but I still get to move to Regina, live with my husband, and generally get on with my life. I hope that is not the case, but who can ever really know? Gotta keep trying. That is all I can do...
