Celebrate with me on Friday

**buzz** · 10-19-2009, 10:32 AM

Hey guys,

I have been studying for an exam for the past 2 months and the exam is this Friday - It is the Fire Protection Engineering exam and I really hope I pass because it is only offered once a year. It is an 8 hour exam and open book, so it is pretty rough, but I feel prepared. I find out the results months later, but Friday night I will celebrate anyway with my wife and I would like to extend the invitation to all of you.

I am new here, and don't have much of a collection going right now, so it will be a BYOS night, but my wife makes some great fudge and I will gladly share it with anyone who wants to travel to Tucson, AZ!

If you can't make the trip I understand, but light up a good stick with me around 7PM MST and we can share a celebration smoke - no more studying!

Oh and if you wouldn't mind, send me some good luck Friday morning - I am starting to feel those butterflies... ugh, I hate tests.

Yeah, except it means I am bringing the entire NFPA set (18 volumes), the SFPE Handbook, NFPA Handbooks (2 volumes), a Reference Manual, and 43 pages of hand written notes and practice problems... the test becomes more about not what you know, but how quickly you can figure out where to find what you need to know.

It is funny to see everyone in line to take the exam, everyone has a handcart with stacks and stacks of books... bunch of dorks - oh wait.

Aced it.

Good luck Buzz, I will be sending good vibes your way this Friday.

Good luck. R&R and cigar afterward sounds like a good idea - you've earned it.

I thought the same thing - until the first "open book" exam I was given...

I've now made it my life's philosophy to not trust anyone that tells me "open book" and "take home exams" are a "piece of cake"

Good luck, Buzz... If I wasn't recovering from a nasty sinus mess I'd be all over smoking a cigar in your honor. My thought of smoking one will just have to do!
