I haven't posted in a while. This is not because I didn't want to, but rather because most non-work moments for the last month have been occupied with studying.
Later this month - no, I will not tell you when, though you might already know, I will be undertaking a marathon of a different sort...the CIH exam. The CIH exam (Certified Industrial Hygienist) is like the PE exam for engineers....8 hour test, lots of material covered, you are never really ready for it...etc.
So, this last month I have studied and studied. I didn't study well the first part. In fact, my studying was poor. But I have buckled down. Tonight I took a practice exam and (though these mean nothing) squeeked by (aka passed). Does this mean I'll pass the 'real' exam? Heavens no! I have to get much better on some of my subjects. It did give me an idea on what i need to focus on for the remainder of my study period, however.
So, back I go to studying. 30 more minutes or so. Then to bed, then another day at work, then to studying again! I am at that point where I do not wish to study any more, but yet I have to. I'm to that point of my marathon where only my willpower is keeping me going. Soon, soon it will be over, but not yet. Right now, I have to stay the course.
I will be So Very Glad when this is over.
