Ya Might As Well Do It ALL and a 5K...

I just don't even know what to say about today other than it was one of the busiest, most stressful and most fun filled days!

It all started with a Physics Final. Final review with the professor and class started at 9am. So, right after I dropped the boys off at school I very gently and slowly drove Bessy (my parents car that I was borrowing -- whole other story) to campus for the review.  Which I didn't actually participate in because I had homework to do... Yes, I procrastinated... Whatever people, IT HAPPENS!!!  Back to my little story here... geesh... So I caught up on a couple homework assignments, scribbled a few things on a note card, ate a very good egg white sandwich from Subway and was ready for my exam at 11am.

Now, the last 2 exams I had I would have told you I bombed it or something miraculous had taken place because I wasn't confident about either one of them.  This exam is a whole other story... I think I did pretty well.  Which could go either way because the other 2 exams ended up being B's.  So either I am really, really wrong or I just got myself an A- in PHYSICS.... I will let you know as soon as I know.

The other BIG thing I was waiting on today was the results of my MTTC which is the Michigan Teacher Certification Exam.  When I signed up for the exam in January I was told I had to pass all 3 parts so I could do my student teaching this coming Fall.  So, I signed up for the Basic Skills, Social Studies Major and Integrated Science Minor tests.  When my instructor found out what I did she said "NO, NO, NO... you have to pass 3 parts of the Basic Skills Test: reading, writing and math."  Well, they were going to charge me half of what I paid to take the exams to get out of them so I just went ahead with them anyway chaulking it up to experience.  Funny thing when I got the email today with my results.  I passed ALL 3.  Not just the 3 parts of the Basic Skills, but ALL 3 EXAMS!

And it was such an AWESOME day I went out and ran my first 5K.  I didn't have a great time, I finished in 34:21ish... Curt snapped a picture of me at 34:21 but I still had 3 or 4 steps to go.  But I finished and that is huge for me.  Especially considering that I have only run 5 times this Spring and 2 of them were this week (including the 5K).  And today was only the second time I've attempted 3 miles... So I think I did pretty good.  Now I'm training for a Duathlon at the end of August... Crazy I know!!

Here are pictures from the 5K...

Apparently me running doesn't just wear me out! He fell asleep in the car on the way home. So precious!
