You know you’re over tired when you have two, yes two, alarm clocks go off (one next to you and one across the room), at 5 am, and you don’t even hear them.

Started sitting in May 2002, on and off. But since 2008 I've been nonstop and my scores are....

I spilled my expensive Starbucks coffee all over the front seat of my car which was later followed by my son spilling his red Hi-C drink all over the backseat. Too tired and strapped for time to clean the car properly, I go for the garden hose.

Upon reaching for the hose I see a GIANT dead rat. All I could think was, “Are you kidding me?” I was too tired to scream.

these posts are too funny.

Allyson–not sure if even Calgon could “take you away” from that!!!!!

When I was studying, I had dreams about MCQ almost every night. What's sad is that I'm still having those dreams every week or so.

@allyson – OMG!!!!! I can't believe it. I hope today goes better. It'd be tough for it to be worse.

FAR 4/1/11 - 89
AUD 4/15/11 - 85
REG 4/29/11 - 80
BEC 5/13/11 - 85

I wake up early in the morning (3 am or so ) not because I want to be because my brain thinks its time for more MCQ. I did MCQ once at this time and now my brain won't stop having me pop up like the house is on fire to do more!!

@Allyson I feel your pain I found a LIZARD in my house it got in the house because the door was left open and live right by the canyons was tooo tired to even care luckily my hubby wasn't and took care of it!!

Nope I sit on Tues..

Feeling like I wish I had a couple of extra days..but here we go. I keep scoring about 68% on Wiley. Becker's 1st final I got 73, 70, 60…I definitely lost it on the last testlet, so I feel like I am borderline, just need to iron out some things. I worked like crazy in cpareviewforfree and got 70-80 range, so that made me feel better, just wish I could get Wiley up higher, it would give me a boost in confidence. Going to do about 9 hours today.

How are you feeling for FAR?

[jomarie]

So FAR so good!!! LOL!! I've been still breaking it down per topic and I'm scoring anywhere from 75 to 85. SO I'm happy with that!! Good luck on Tuesday, I'll be thinking of you.
