A great weekend!

This past weekend, I used two of my vacation days (Thursday and Friday) and took a trip to Springfield! While there, I was able to visit several friends and catch up on all the "goings on" in the area. Chris and I took in a theatre production of "The Miracle Worker", which was fantastic, we cooked (one of our favorite things to do together), and spent much needed quality time doing nothing!

Unfortunately, the trip was not all fun and games. On Friday, I took the NCE (National Counselors Examination) in order to begin working on my LPC. I had spent considerable time studying during the weeks leading up to the test (multi-tasking while I was at the gym each day). So, Friday afternoon at 1:30 p.m., I headed over to the H&R Block office, and took the exam. It took me a little more than two hours to finish the questions and double check the ones I was uncertain about. When I was finished, I proceeded up to the front desk to receive my results. I was pleased to learn I passed! A huge weight was instantly lifted off my shoulders and I felt as if I could truly enjoy my remaining time in Springfield.

Now, I get the priviledge of applying for licensure...which (according to my peers who have gone through the process) is an absolute nightmare. Luckily, I have lots of support and help around this area! More information about specifics of this process to come in a future blog.......
