I have bitten the bullet and am taking the FSOT again in June. I actually signed up to take the exam in Feb/March, but never got around to registering for a date. I kind of forgot about it, then got an e-mail from the website letting me know I was eligible to register for the June date. It also came at a time that I was particularly regretful about not accepting my previous A-100 spot--funny how the universe throws something your way just when you need it. Anyway, I am ready to start this process all over again.
For whatever reason, the test is not being offered in my local city this time (I live in a decent metro of ~2 million people) so I am surprised that I have to drive 3 hours to a much smaller town in order to test. Oh well, maybe that is the universe testing me and my true intentions on starting over. Whatever the case, I am ready to give it my all. Mrs. Consular Hopeful and I have had many a conversation lately about the FS lifestyle and we both feel this is the right time. I sure hope it works out again. Only time will tell. Unfortunately I am horrible at waiting, which isn't a good characteristic to have when entering the FS process.
Here goes nothing!
