As some may be aware, tomorrow is my dad's birthday. We had a very nice Italian dinner with my dad, Cheryl, and myself.
The bottom line:
My dad sees that I'm coming back to myself. He said he sees a fire and passion in my eyes, that mirrors how the old Mitch used to be. Essentially, he felt I was dead this last year, with my not going forward with my life.
He also told me that he intentionally didn't go with me to the monument company, because he was pissed that I was stagnating. I see his point.
Everyone knows I have a day long review on Thursday, and I think, the test on Friday. I didn't do well on a practice test today. I'm terrified that I'm going to fail the exam after all the hard work I put in. My dad firmly told me that it doesn't matter if I fail, and that the most important thing is that I tried. He said he knows people who repeatedly failed licensing exams, and that if I fail, I will just keep trying.
I went to a pawn shop to try and sell some things today, and took two cabs there. The things I sold, didn't even cover the costs of the cabs. Now, that I found out this shop buys costume jewelry, which the others didn't, my dad graciously offered to drive me to the place.
I got an offer with a potential "Paid Job" from another insurance company. I cant even think about it, until I see what happens with the review course and exam. My dad feels I should at least consider the other position, because it may have a salary.
I have to take a deep breath, take the review, and the exam, and figure that if I fail, I can always take it again. Just once, I want to accomplish an important goal.
I thank everyone for the support. 36 hours to the review class, 60 to the exam, unless I'm forced to postpone the exam due to the low grades on the practice tests.
Big Sigh!
