It's the final countdown...

My first board exam is coming up on Friday morning. I've been studying really hard over the last two months, and even though everyone tells me that I'm going to be fine, I'm really not so sure. This exam is a general competency exam, and while I'm quite certain that I'm competent in what I do, I'm expected to know details about every aspect of psychology. it's a pretty big field!! Now I wish I'd paid more attention in those lectures about sensation and perception. Fortunately, I'm pretty comfortable with many of the main areas, which comprise between 10 and 15 percent of the test, which is broken down into 8 subcategories. So, we'll see what happens on Friday...

On an unrelated note: my spider plant, which I have grown from just a very small cutting of my father-in-law's plant over the last 2 years, has sprouted its first spiderette! I'm so proud. Mostly that I haven't killed or damaged this plant yet. I'm up to 8 houseplants now (spider plant, 2 aloe plants, a basil garden, 2 lucky bamboo plants, which are not actually bamboo, and 2 orchids). There's something very satisfying about seeing your plants grow.
