I've waited to post this one for a long time..................
I'M FINALLY DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just got my scores back for my LAST TEST (Western Europe Since 1945....shudder!). I got a 60, which delighted me. It was a tough exam and very frustrating--all kinds of obscure and vague questions. And it's been agony waiting for the scores...all my other DSSTs I was able to take online but I had to take this one as a paper test because the computer system was down. On top of that, there was a mix-up with my credit card and that delayed things yet another week.
BUT NOW I'M DONE!!!!
From start to finish it's taken me about 18 months. Less if you count the months I took off and if you don't count the waiting period for the scores. That would cut it down to about 14 months.
I shall now send it my Request For Graduation and hopefully receive my diploma in September.
I shall celebrate by eating wads of chocolate.
And I shall never take another paper test again. hilarious hilarious hilarious
