Gone certifyin'

Oh, I did not like having my alarm go off at 5:00 on a Saturday morning. But alas, that is what was necessary when a full day of testing starts at 7:15 and I have to drive 30 miles to get there. Today was the big state certification test, which entailed a five-hour "general skills" portion of reading, writing, and math (I am so glad I aced geometry in high school), and a more specific portion that was straight-up school psychology. For the most part, I didn't feel like an idiot, so hopefully that's a good sign. I just struggled a bit with the reading comprehension. For some reason, that's always been my weakness - ever since I was a little kid. But at the risk of jinxing myself, I'm going to just go out there and say that the school psychology part wasn't really that bad. I was expecting it to be trickier.
