I know I have been neglecting you all lately (don’t worry Internet, I still love you!), but it’s because any free time I have has been spent studying for my Securities License. Tomorrow is the final big day. I am taking my Series 63 exam at 1pm, so I need you all to think positive thoughts and send me good vibes!! Then once this is all over, I can finally relax again and go back to my normal adult life. Who knew that I could so quickly forget how to study and do homework?

Then once the test is over, I am going to have a fun, fun weekend! First its the corn maze and pumpkin patch on Saturday with a bunch of our friends. This will be the 5th year we have been going to Lakeview Farms. It is so much fun! On Sunday Simeon and I are taking a much-needed trip to the beach. We haven’t visited our parents in ages, so we are going to Seaside for the day. I plan to have pictures up from all of the weekend’s events! Check back soon!

While many of you may be thinking, “Of course you passed, you are so smart” I was really sweating this one. I mean to tell ya! This was such a stressful test. Oh and there is still one more to go! But that ones not until next Friday, so I get a day to rest my brain. Lay off already!

I’m not sure if it’s the fact that I am out of practice at taking exams, or the fact that my passing affected more than just myself, but I was really nervous yesterday. My palms were all sweaty and my leg was nervously bouncing as I hit the “Submit” button. And I have got to say it was the longest 10 seconds of my life waiting for the results to pop up on the screen! I even got light-headed and wondered what would happen if I actually passed out. When the results finally came up, I tried to interpret the mass of numbers, frantically scanning the screen for something that meant anything, when I came across the words “passed.” I breathed a great sigh of relief and was glad I could actually return to my place of employment. Cause I gotta say, for awhile there, I was thinking I would never be able to show my face at work again if I failed. And I really wasn’t in the mood to dig out my resumé.

Well, it’s official. I have set the date to take the test for my Series 6 Securities exam. The big day is scheduled for October 6th. I will not be around much for the next few days, as I will be spending any free time I may have studying my little brain out. It’s been so long since I have taken a test with this much weighing on it, that I am really starting to feel the pressure. Wish me luck!
