Unconditionally

I went to bed last night at 8 pm. I think I managed to get myself so tired with worrying and stressing out, that the second I hit my pillow, I was fast asleep. By 4 am I was up and didn't want to go back to sleep for fear that I would oversleep. So I did the best next thing. I went to Starbucks for some coffee and some quick review.

My favorite baristas cheered me on and told me I would do well. I needed some encouragement this morning.

Then this happened:

Seriously best email ever. This is what I needed this morning, a little push. He's always been great to me and always given me advice when times are tough.

And that's how I felt today, I was confident about every question I answered. Sure, I had to guess at some, but I didn't feel lost and confused like the last time. I took almost the entire 5 hours, had about 20 minutes left on the clock. I was literally the last one left at the testing site. The second I left, the staff closed up and left for the day.

I drove back to Midland from Odessa and I suddenly felt super tired. I wanted nothing but go to my apartment and sleep, but I had promised myself a celebratory lunch. Whether I did fine or not, passed or failed, I was going to celebrate my hard work, studying and long hours of reviewing. Now, I just have to be patient and wait until the results come in.

Photos of my lunch. Yep, not diet friendly but if I am going to celebrate, I wanted to do so in style.
