Susan G Komen 3-Day - For The Cure

I am walking in November to raise money for breast cancer.  My mother died as a result of inflammatory breast cancer in January 1988.  I am walking in her honor.  I am hoping to raise $5000 but I need a minimum of $2200 to participate.  I am at $1650 currently. 

I am hoping that my fellow 2old2play members take a moment and click the link below to go to my personal donation page and donate whatever you can.

We all have mothers, some of us are women, some of us have daughters and/or wives, girlfriends etc.  Help raise money to find a cure.  BTW it is also possible for men to be diagnosed with breast cancer tho it doesn't happen as frequently.

Thanks

I Passed the Exam

Cannot believe I did it but I passed the comprehensive exam that I took in April.  What a relief.  Now I just have to finish up my units and complete my field work hours.  Finishing the hours will likely take until December at the rate I am currently accruing them.  Working full time at a job unrelated to my new career path makes it difficult to really pile up the hours.  Right now I get anywhere from 5 to 10 hours a week.

Two years already

Short entry - thinking about my brother.  He passed away two years ago today and it just doesn't feel like it has been that long.  I miss him.

Comps are DONE

Took my comprehensive exam on Saturday.  Feel pretty good about 2/3 of the exam.  It is split up into three sections and I need to get 70% on each section to pass that section.  I feel really confident about the first and third section, but am not even remotely confident about the middle one.  I hope I did enough to pass.  I don't really care if I get 70% or 90%, I just want to hear "YOU PASSED THE EXAM".  I will know in about three weeks.  So for now, since there is nothing I can do about it, I am going to focus on other things as best I can.

I finally got through "Flirtin' With Disaster" on Hard to get through the solo tour on Hard.

Better get to work....

Tired, stressed and overwhelmed

Was up way too late last night trying to beat Flirtin' With Disaster in Rock Band on Hard.  It is the last song that I need to get the achievement.  Last night I finally got to where I was nearly out of the solo where I have consistently failed at around 75% complete.  I got to 83% last night so I know I am close and eventually I will get there.  But an hour straight of nothing but that song...Aaargh! 

Then slept poorly due to anxiety related to my comprehensive exam that is coming up this Saturday.  I just cannot seem to buckle down and study for any length of time.  I get overwhelmed by the sheer volume of material and worry that I will focus on the wrong thing and fail.
