Excited But Sad
Today we leave on vacation to SLO town. I haven't been back in years! I can't believe I said "years".
I am sad I am missing my company open house. I really wanted to take shots off the ice sculpture. Haha.

Patriotism
I think this cartoon is so true. Why have we let people in raised pickup trucks highjack the meaning of patriotism and the american flag? I think Obama is so right in saying that you should judge a persons patriotism by their actions.
I passed!
I passed!!!! You can officially call me a LEED Accredited Professional! WooHoo!
I was so nervous all last night and this morning. I was especially nervous to press that button on the screen that said "Done", since I knew the results would be instantaneous. As the questions seemed to get harder and harder in the middle of the test my confidence that I had it nailed got smaller and smaller.
The woman next to me seemed to be clicking her mouse really loudly and fast as if she was skipping a bunch of questions. She also coughed a ton and it was hard to ignore. I took the test at one of those testing centers where not everyone is taking the same test and there are multiple exams going on at once. The girl next to me in the waiting room was taking the CPA exam and a few students in the waiting room were studying for the GRE. I think I might have been the only person to be taking the LEED exam.
I am looking forward to work on Tuesday and telling everyone I passed. Most of my immediate coworkers already know. Brian, Shawn, and Toni asked me to text them right away. They all texted back within a matter of minutes with congratulations.
Off to more adventures. I am glad I have this behind me!
