Licensure Exam Fun

Well I think the world would be best served by my blogging on topics lacking substance-more the Dave Barry approach than the cynical approach I take too often. That said, the world doesn't read my blog so I will do what I please to some extent.

Anyway, I am taking a short break from studying for my attempt at passing the two sections of my Landscape Architecture Licensing Exam that I failed in June. Looking over my score report which basically tells me useful things such as "failed to apply basic mathematics" and "Needs to work on understanding of problem statement." Talk about useful remarks... I am really trying not to be bitter but considering that in my job I review plans by licensed landscape architects and make corrections, it is very frustrating to have this exam be such a stumbling block to me. I fear that the more real world experience I get, the harder it will be to pass. I realize that I failed less comprehensively than I remembered when I first got the report. I suppose that means that there is some home of me passing at least one of the sections Monday or Tuesday. I should mention, however, that my hope should be in the Lord and not in my own ability but I suppose that therein lies yet another vestige of my immaturity and lack of faith. There is a part of me that feels that I do not deserve to pass since I have not studied laboriously for the last 4-5 months. That is ridiculous, though a bit more preparation wouldn't hurt, and I need to remember that I serve a God who used a Man with a slow tongue to part the Red Sea...
