Holy Mother Trucker!!!

I PASSED!!!!
I sat for my Social Science CSET exams on November 3. They're required exams to show that I have enough content knowledge to teach and I had to take them before being able to step into the classroom for my student teaching.
I've been sweating bullets about this. If I didn't pass, then I wouldn't be able to student teach in Jan, which would mean no license by the time hubby gets out of the military. No license means no job. I would have had to wait till Sept to student teach and in the mean time pass the exam.

BUT HOLY MOTHER TRUCKER! I PASSED!!!
I was supposed to be able to find out at 5pm on Dec 3. Around 3 I decided to try and log onto the website and see if I could find out early. I needed to look in my email for my examinee ID. Low and behold, there were three emails with my unofficial scores. I was so prepared to see FAIL on each, or at least one. (You have to pass all three exams in one sitting, so if I failed one, I'd have to retake all three). And as I scrolled through each one, they said," status:PASS"!!!!
I didn't know if I wanted to cry, pee my pants, do back flips, throw up, or just pass out.

The only annoying thing is that if you pass, they don't tell you your score. You only get that if you fail. I want to know if it was by a landslide or just eeked out!

But either way! I PASSED!!! I will be student teaching in January. I just found out that I have been placed at a high school near here (not the one I had wanted but oh well). I start in just under a month!
YEAH!!! Such a relief!!!!

Seriously Maria... how could you think you would fail. You are rocket scientist kinda smart! I never had a doubt. As a matter of fact I am soooooo impressed you could pull off school with 2 kids at home. You are my inspiration!
