Celebrate with me on Friday

Engineering... Bahh....

Someone talked me into studying Engineering. I thought I was going to learn how to drive a train - instead I got hit with some SERIOUS math and physics...

Take home and open book exams were the absolute worse...

Math was the only subject I was ever any good at... and PE...

This is the second open book engineering exam I have taken (I took the Mechanical version in 2007) - I think closed book exams are easier.

So the test is over and man am I relieved (and my wife too). Nothing like getting up at 5:30 in the morning to go take a 8 hour test... ugh. The good news is that I think I did pretty well, it was a tough one and I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't pass - but I think I did. They say we will get the results in 2 to 3 months... not sure why it takes them that long but oh well.

Anyway, I wasn't able to make it on the chat in time to hang out with any of you guys - sorry bout that. After the test I went to an Architect's party to do a little marketing. I did enjoy a cigar though when I got home - Ashton VSG, tasted great.

For fun, here are some pics of my study materials:

(NFC volumes 1 through 18, NFPA Handbooks volumes 1 and 2, SFPE Handbook, NFPA 13 Handbook, SFPE Reference Manual, 3-ring binder with 53 pages of handwritten notes, spiral notebook with more notes and equations, and my pocket ref)





I only used 75% of the material I brought, but I would have kicked myself if I had left something home and then needed it...

Thanks for the luck guys, I'll let you know when to light up the victory cigar!

Thanks Kris! I have been wanting to try one of those - I dug the Camacho 10 yr. I tried. Do you know how that triple maduro compares to the 10 year?

I've not had the 10 Year, but everything I've tried from Camacho at this point has been superb.

I suspect that the 10 Year will end up being just as good as everything else I've tried from Camacho's line.

Well guys I got a letter in the mail saying that I passed the exam - Sweet! I was so excited when I found out but I waited all day without saying anything to anyone at work because I wanted my wife to be the first to know. Then I had to tell my dad, then I had to tell you guys. Thanks for the luck, I am so glad I don't have to take that test again.

A little celebration contest is in order: http://www.cigarsmokers.com/threads/...-Cigars-ablaze!
