Testing....testing...one...two...three...

Today was certainly the day for tests! I started out at Dr. Efaw's for my 6 months checkup. She was pleased with my BP (it is lower than it has been in years!) and also my weight loss. She gave me some hints as to how to push through the plateau I have reached with the weight loss, so I will keep you posted on how those work...
From there I ran over to Albany State to take the MAT (Miller's Analogy Test) which is a required test for entrance into the Graduate school at Valdosta State. It is comprised of 120 analogies in a 60 minute time frame. I had never taken it before and quite frankly had not studied for it except for a couple of short practice online tests I took last night. I need to have no lower than a score of 390 to be considered for the school. Most people average a score around 400. I got a 412 on it!! Yea me...!! I think the biggest help I had on the test was the prayer I uttered while sitting in front of that computer before I clicked the "Begin" button.
After completing that test, I bebopped it back over to Tifton to see Dr. Moorman about my eyes. I have found myself squinting more in the last couple of weeks than I have in a long time. So I felt I should get my peepers checked-especially before having to start reading all the pages in the required readings for the college courses in January. So.....long story short....I do not have any cataracts, glocoma or macular degeneration....but I do need to advance to the next stage of contact wearing----BIFOCAL CONTACTS!!! I should get my new "eyeballs" in about a week...I be "seeing" you then.............................

OMG you are downright funny in this post. It is ok to have deep thoughts but it is great to see humor again after all the soberness of the past couple of months. "Men are that they might have joy" Course the little question of the day thing is usually worth a laugh also.
