Phew....Finally!

I never thought I'd see this day. I hoped and I wished and I studied and I prayed...and lo and behold, as of 6 pm this afternoon, I am an L.M.S.W. And that stands for LICENSED MASTER OF SOCIAL WORK!!!!! You don't realize how hard it was for me to keep this from so many people. I have known about my appointment to sit for the exam for a few weeks now but I didn't want to tell many people and accidentally jinx it. Of course I told Sam and my parents and a few of my co-workers (I had to explain why I wasn't going to be available today after 3 pm) -- but I didn't want too many people waiting for the results just in case I failed!

In New York State, you are required to get at least a 75 on the exam to pass it and I got an 80. I am still in shock, I don't know what to do now. This has been my longest long-term goal (at least 8 years running) and to have finally reached it...well, it's almost a let down. It was kinda easy and not stressful and most importantly, OVER!!!

So folks, what do I do next?? I guess I just work hard and keep working towards my L.C.S.W., which should happen in the next two to three years.

I arrived home to a beautiful card from my husband hiding in my laptop! What a romantic man...

So I breathe a huge sigh of relief. I can finally get my new business cards made up that say Me, LMSW!

Woo hoo!!!!!
