MSN-and it feels oh so good!

Finally! That's the first thing that popped into my head when I hit that submit button and saw the words I've been waiting over 2 years to see-Passed. That's right ladies and gentlemen. I have a master's degree. I'm incredibly excited although nobody can tell besides me since I've shed several tears of joy since leaving the testing center. I know everyone has had ups and downs going through this process and I certainly have had mine. I just can't put into words what this means to me. Funny enough I didn't expect it to happen today. There was a little bit of drama with scheduling the exam last week and then taking it today. On today of all days, the testing sites' server crashed not once, but twice. There was talk of rescheduling and coming back this weekend but luckily their IT people were able to successfully reboot the system and I got to finish my exam.
So now, there's just one more hurdle to jump. I've decided that with all the drama I encountered just getting to this point, the certification exam should go smoothly-or at least that's what I'm hoping! The whole licensure/exam process is expensive and I don't intend on repeating it. As you can imagine, I'm emotionally/mentally exhausted after studying for the better part of the past 4 weeks. I'm looking forward to vegging out this weekend and then I will start preparing for certification. But for now, I'm going to celebrate and let this all sink in!

Happy 4th from mamamidwife!

Happy fourth to all of my wonderfully, supportive readers! I hope you are all enjoying the day with family and friends. I apologize for the lack of updates but there is nothing super exciting to report...yet! I did finish clinicals a few days after my last post. I hit the road for a week long vacation to the Caribbean that was past due. I figured it was the least I could do for my tired, overworked brain. As it turns out it was exactly what the doctor ordered. I'm feeling refreshed and ready to take boards head on. This month for me is all about finishing this journey. It's been 2 years of hard work and determination and now I'm ready to be "with woman". No news yet on the job front but I know that the right position is out there for me and it will come in its time. In the meantime, keep me in your thoughts and prayers, send lots of good vibes out to the universe-I need all the love and positivity I can get. And if you have enough love in your heart keep my fellow sisters in your thoughts as well-this is not an easy transition to make and we are all feeling the pressure of being close to reaching our dream.
