I passed my generalist EC-4 TExES test!\u00c2\u00a0 I almost can’t believe it.\u00c2\u00a0 The results came in earlier today – quicker than I was expecting.\u00c2\u00a0 My heart started pounding extremely hard as soon as the email popped up in my inbox.\u00c2\u00a0 I was terrified that maybe I did fail, even though I felt somewhat confident when I left the testing center.\u00c2\u00a0 I made a 283 out of 300.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s not a perfect score, but I’m really okay with that.\u00c2\u00a0 There were some questions, like social studies and science, that were just know it facts that well, I did not know.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m happy that out of the 10 questions that I missed they were spread out among the 5 domains.\u00c2\u00a0 It would really suck to miss all 10 from one domain.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve been beaming from ear to ear since I got the results…well, I was beaming till I did the WOD.\u00c2\u00a0 Now I’m just exhausted and shaky, but I’m beaming on the inside.<\/p>\n
Now that I’ve passed I have got to find a job before school starts next year.\u00c2\u00a0 This scares me too.\u00c2\u00a0 If anyone – anyone – has any leads, knowledge, or connections that might help me then please, please speak up.\u00c2\u00a0 I hope to take the generalist 4-8 by mid to late summer which would open up even more possibilities for me.<\/p>\n
I started exercising again on Friday when I found myself with no more studying to do.\u00c2\u00a0 I would like to do the WOD on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.\u00c2\u00a0 I think along with Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and TKD classes (many of those have conditioning components), I should start to see some toning taking place which would greatly compliment the weight I’ve lost on the paleo diet.\u00c2\u00a0 :)\u00c2\u00a0 Yay for health!\u00c2\u00a0 I love doing the WOD in the garage.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m pushing myself (though not as hard as someone else would this is for sure), and I love the fact that no one can see me.\u00c2\u00a0 No one knows what adjustments I have to make or how many breaks I give into when my body screams.\u00c2\u00a0 I know I’d see better results in a class, but for now this is where I need to be.\u00c2\u00a0 I hope to work up to feeling comfortable to return to Ryon’s Friday conditioning class.\u00c2\u00a0 For now, though, I don’t want to feel pressured to beat a clock or other people in the class.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s all internal and dumb, but the feeling is still there nonetheless.<\/p>\n
I hope all the mother’s had a great Mother’s Day.\u00c2\u00a0 Bryan and I went to dinner with his grandparents.\u00c2\u00a0 It was Nanny’s choice – Red Lobster – which is fine by me because I can eat fish any day!\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 I do find that while it’s definitely not impossible to stick to Paleo that it is a challenge when eating out.\u00c2\u00a0 I know that my food can’t be perfectly paleo even when I think I’ve done so.\u00c2\u00a0 I know this because last night I had a sugar low.\u00c2\u00a0 There must have been something in a sauce or marinade on the fish that I had even though the menu suggested none of this would be on there.\u00c2\u00a0 Thanks chef!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
