Freaking Out a Bit

Licensing Exam

So my licensing exam is fast approaching (actually it's not until February, but preparation for it begins in earnest in 1 month -- immediately after finals).

So, it's all bittersweet; immediately after finals ends, I begin preparation for the licensing exam. No time to stop and smell the coffee.

I still need to work out the details of my plan. In fact, I think I'll have 1-1.5 hours per day to get in some solid exercise. Although, I don't even think I'm going to ride my bike, as I fear a bike crash and I need to stay healthy (extra healthy) until February.

I was thinking the other day -- that I bet everything (financial, emotional, couple years of my life) on grad school. This bet comes to the fore in February. If I don't pass (in fact, the majority fail at this licensing exam -- only 48% passed the last exam) -- then I'll retry in July; but it will be quite difficult. I need to pass the first time around. In fact, my goal is to pass by such a wide margin that it's not even close. I will study harder for this exam than any other exam, because I don't think I can afford to fail at this -- just pure fear factor.

Nonetheless, I do think I'll have ~2 hours per day to get things happening in the exercise department. In fact, I'd like to replan my racing schedule next year.

I'd like to do ventura again, along with some SD races. I'll have to make it a point to look at that.

Enough.
