Finished my mental marathon
#1
Crossed the finish line yesterday in a physical marathon and today did the same in regards to my degree.

I am finally finished.

I already posted the details of my social psych test. Usually I over prepare for these tests. After running the Chicago Marathon yesterday my runner's high lead me to scheduling my very last test needed to graduate- today. I looked over the instantcert cards once. Passed with an A.

Instantcert works. I cannot say enough about how instrumental instantcert was as well as the members of this board in helping me along my journey. I may not have participated as much as others but just reading about everyone's journey was motivating.

I am so lucky I found Instantcert. There is alot of junk out there and thankfully google led me here. Were it not for Instantcert and especially this forum- I would be lost. I wouldn't have contemplated Excelsior. I probably would still not even be halfway done @ a brick and mortar school. For any of you contemplating using instantcert and enrolling in the Big 3...please don't put it off. To steal from Nike- Just Do it! (fitting since I just ran a marathon!)

I may have fullfilled all my degree requirements but I am not done with this forum. I intend to be a cheerleader for Instantcert and Excelsior and this way of learning! Thank you all. Thank you Steve. Thank you members of this board.

I think I am going to get all emotional and cry. I am a finisher.

Great sprint! Congratulations. BTW, a friend of mine starts his prep runs (5-6 miles) by having a beer or two, regardless of the heat. The lunacy of runners....
