I am doing the best I can to wait this out, but I am losing my mind.
Let me tell you how my day shaped up yesterday. I left at 7am, because I wanted to be there for 8:00-8:30. Heh. No such luck. My car decided to start bucking and booty-shakin' like a whore on prom night! It was really cold here, and I didn't let the car warm up. Couldn't do more than 40 mph for MILES! I am watching the clock, cursing, spitting, hissing and wishing all sorts of voodoo on my normally reliable car. Finally, when I got to the highway, the car picked up speed. Sweet! Now I can get moving. Excellent.
Um, no.
Tractor trailer decides to flop over on it's side, layin' there like a big metal horse that's just been shot. Oil, all over the road. Fucker. I was ready to throw a match out of the window to start a big damn bonfire. Good thing I don't smoke. The driver didn't die...that's good. Happy for that. NOT happy that he doesn't know how to frickin' drive! We did the slow crawl along the highway for miles. It is now 8:15 am. I am still seven exits away. We are doing less than 10 miles per hour. The nice soothing, relaxing CD I prepared for myself to listen to along the way was now doing a frisbee fly across the median. I chucked the fucking thing into the road while waving, screaming, banging the steering wheel, blowing the horn and frothing from the mouth. I was gnawing on the steering wheel, having a tantrum, spitting on my front windshield while cursing the entire City of Tampa for their ridiculous highways that you can't get the HELL off of!!! I notice a woman in her BMW alongside me, on her cellphone. She keeps looking over at me, like she is giving whoever she is on the phone with the play by play of how I was acting."HERE," I screamed as I rolled down my passenger side window, "Tell them I am giving you the fucking finger now!!!!"
She sped up and changed lanes. Smart chick.
I call up my husband. I am crying now.
"I'm not going to make it there," I sob.
"Yes you will, babe. You'll get there. It will be fine."
Fine? FINE??? Do men not realize that you never say FINE to a woman? How do I look in this dress, honey? You like fine. FINE????? How does my new haircut look, Babe? It looks fine. FINE???? How was that blowjob sweetheart? It was fine. FINE?????
You never use fine to a woman, ever, unless you say, "Girl...you are FINE!!!"
That's different.
Anyway, I am sobbing, bawling, crying, vomiting, seizing, etc. Lack of sleep will make you act this way. My husband is trying to calm me down. "You will get there, honey," he continues to reassure me.
"No I won't. No I won't. I wanna come home. I never want to take this test. I wanna come home. I don't want to go. I am not supposed to pass this test. I wanna come hoooooome."
"Honey, you will GET there! I PROMISE you," says the Hotband.
I hang up on him. I don't want the rah rah rah speech right now. I am determined to go home, crawl back into my bed and die...waiting anxiously for my career in yodeling to start.
All of a sudden, a car cuts me off. Exhausted and emotionally drained, I don't even bother to say anything. I don't bat an eyelash. I am feeling too defeated. I stare straight ahead at the back of the car. I notice that the last three numbers on the back of the cars license plate are "719".
My husbands birthday. July 19th.
He changes lanes. I get the idea to follow him. Don't know why...just did. He gets off at an exit well in advance of the exit I needed to. I follow him. He drives the service road. Makes a series of twists and turns. There is still traffic on the service road as well, but this car in front of me, he seems to manage it all with ease. I stay right behind him. He gets back up onto the highway. The roads are clear. Crystal clear. As if only this man and I were the only two cars in the world. He gets off the exit I needed to get off for the exam. He goes straight. I make the left into the nursing exam center.
It's 8:55...and I made it.
Now, normally, I am not all about that divine intervention shit. I am more a Darwin kind of girl. I do have faith, believe in God or a higher being, but don't believe he created the world out of Play-Doh and silly string. But this, this was some crazy shit. There was another familiar thing with the car, but I can't tell you what that is without revealing my husbands name. You'll have to just take my word for it.
I get into the exam. There are four other women there. Each of us looks like a deer in the headlights, our eyes wide and a look of utter fear on our faces. We are fingerprinted. We have our pictures taken. I am thinking..."Hm. I've been arrested before. This is just like a booking! This is easy!" I was about to turn around for my side profile. The woman said, "No, just one photo, Dear. This isn't jail."
Heh. My bad.
We go into the testing room. I take a seat. Lucky number 7. I click through my answers with a great deal of ease. Perhaps too much ease. The test shut off at the minimum of 85 required questions out of a possible 265 questions. This means one of two things:
A) I did so phenomenally that they didn't have to bother with an additional 185 questions.
Or...
B) I sucked so badly, that they were like, "Oh girl. We can't bear to see this travesty continue. We are shutting your shit down...NOW!"
I am hoping for option A here.
I left the test feeling pretty confident. What does this mean? Nothing. Anyone who has been reading me for awhile knows that I am very full of myself. I think I am better, smarter, stronger, faster, prettier, etc. than most people. (None of YOU, mind you. You are all just as great as I am!) But, most people. So, the fact that I am thinking I trounced this exam means nothing. I seriously believe I could be the first President of the United States to win a Beauty Pageant just before my first space walk on Mars.
Yes, my self-esteem is rather healthy, thank you for asking.
I got home by noon, after spending an hour and fifteen minutes out of a possible 5 hours on this exam. I blogged quickly to let y'all know I took it and now I was passing out. Then, I went to bed. I got up, watched American Idol, ate dinner, went back to bed, got up at 1am, spoke to my best friend online, went back to bed. Got up this morning, watched Maury, went back to bed. Got up, watched Judge Mathis and then...blogged this post.
I will go back to bed when I am done.
Today is the worst fucking day. The waiting is worse than the exam. It is worse than the anticipation before the exam. I have checked online about a dozen times already for my results...despite the fact that they tell you it takes 48 hours.
Obviously, these bitches don't know who I am.
I figured that I did so amazing...that they said, "WHOA! Look at these results! WE can't make this uber-genius wait another millisecond! We need to put up her results right this second!"
Self-absorbed? Party of one? Your table is ready, with plenty of room for your ego!
As soon as I hear anything, I will let you all know. My hotband refuses to video tape the moment for me like I requested. He said it is just in case I don't do as well as I believe I did. yeah, thanks for the confidence, Pal!!!! I believe it is because I am not wearing a bra (I gave them up for lent) and he doesn't want a video of my girls bouncing all over the place showing up on ChubbyMILFS.com. Whatever.
You will hear from me tomorrow, one way or another. And remember the rules. If I fail...no "Oh poor baby" bullshit. All I want to hear is "Buck up, Fucker. Get over it...and move the hell on!" If you Oh Poor Baby me...I will ban you from the greatness that is me.
And no saying "I bet you did fine" either.
