Begin the begin

I'm officially taking the first steps to becoming a productive member of adult society. Wow. I'm no longer talking about all these great ideas on how to get myself back on my feet, or spending all my time planning the best way to go about it, I'm actually putting these great ideas into action.

Tonight I sat in a classroom for 3 hours, taking a test rivaling the Fcat for passing rate of 5 year olds. I knew this test would determine how expensive my CNA classes would be, so I spent some quality nap time instead online brushing up on my equations; Pythagorean Theorem, similar triangles, etc. I arrive at my test site, already kicking myself for not bringing a water bottle, sweatshirt in hand preparing for the "Big test chills" as I call them (you know, when it can be 100* with no air but you still need something bulky on?), only to open my test booklet to see questions such as " 77x 77=x?" and "whats wrong with the following sentence: She and me brought in the groceries". Honestly?? And even more appalling was the fact that with each section I breezed through in 5 minutes, the room would stare at me, amazed I'd finished so soon. Are these really truly the people preparing to work in a hospital? Where peoples lives are at stake???

Regardless, I'm still pretty proud of myself for getting off my ass and taking the first step.
Tallahassee here I come!
