To be R.D. or not to be?

I took the BIG TEST today to become a Registered Dietitian. It was quite scary and I have spent the last ummmm 6 weeks off and on studying for it. But this last week was serious crunch time. Since it is a computer based test, the results would appear shortly after I answered the last question. When I got to that point and clicked “next,” I then had to take a survey, of all things, while my score was being calculated. I don’t know why they do this before I know my score, it killed me! I don’t remember one thing from the survey, my heart was beating so hard, I just wanted to know, did I PASS or not? Phewwww, I PASSED!!! I wanted to tell everyone! I felt like I could breathe normal and that my brain could relax. My brain needs a short vacation and while I’m looking for jobs, it will do just that! I think I’ll have Ben refer to me as Kimi, The Registered Dietitian, at least until I get sick of it, or until others just catch on and it just flows naturally with the name. If you haven’t passed me on the street today, I just thought I’d let you know that yep, I’m a Registered Dietitian!

Sincerely Yours,

Kimi J. Sycamore, RD

(The “credents” look good)

bye, bye flash cards!

Where is the "like" button, or should I say "congratulations I am so jealous" button?
