Well it looks like my second shot at this crazy life wasn't meant to be. I was dissed at the QEP. I can't say I am completely shocked, though I was shocked at my reaction. I was pretty disappointed this morning! I turned in the same PNQ's that I used last year and I wasn't really comfortable with that approached. I knew it was risky, but I didn't put forth any effort to change my essays. I rolled the dice and it didn't work in my favor. I felt like I had been punched in the gut.
In the end, it is all okay. I wish I was heading back to DC for the orals, but that is not in the plans for me right now. I am reviewing my language options (though I don't think I can commit to anything that will get me to a passing score by next June when my current candidacy expires) and will see if I can start something that might pay off if I decide to retest next year. Who knows, maybe the FS will start a crazy hiring spree and I will get called up! HA!
