FSOT #3

Test #3 is in the history books.  Not only was the commute less convenient this time around, the test was (seemed) tougher too.  Mainly the JK section.  It has been two years since I took the test, so maybe I just forgot the randomness of the test, or it was truly more difficult.  Either way, glad it is over.  I do think I did better on the EE, Bio and Essay.  Time will tell if my suspicions are correct!

I have been doing lots of reflecting on the FS life and am very hopeful it all works out.  I am a "sign" guy and tend to look for signs in the world pointing me one direction or another.  At the time of my previous A-100 offer, all signs were pointing away from the FS.  I really feel like I am sensing something very different this time around.  Again, time will tell if I am correct or not.

All other things in life are progressing well.  Our house renovation (of sorts) is coming along well.  We LOVE the house and our neighborhood.  We are right in the middle of some updates to our kitchen.  Not a total gut/remodel, but new counters, updating cabinets, new lights, new backsplash.  It is cool to see it all come together.  We are having a great summer with the kids and looking forward to our annual beach trip.  Summers go by too quickly!  I love having the kids home and less overall activities.  We have a great sitter who comes to the house, so the kids are enjoying the luxury of sleeping in daily and afternoons at the pool!  What a life!

Hopefully the next few weeks go by quickly.  I am anxious for the test results!  Until then...
