Hooray!

So, today Meadow and I went up to Salt Lake to take the written part of the National Interpreter Certification test. This test is 150 questions and you must get a scaled score of 500 or better to pass the test. There are different categories of test questions about culture, code of ethics, interpreting situations, understand the structure of ASL, etc. Well the good news is.......

I PASSED!!!!!!

Now I just have to catch up on all my homework that I've neglected recently.... : ) p.s. Meadow passed too. We are both just that cool!

Every time I watch this show I cry. Sniff Sniff.

I found this email that my friend sent me one time. Once again I laughed! It's called Porn For Women:

"Hold that thought for a second. I want to pull over to ask for directions."

"I don't have to have a reason to bring you flowers"

"Don't want anyone 'falling in' in the middle of the night."

"I know. Let's take you shoe shopping!"

"Ooh, look, The NFL playoffs are today. I bet we'll have no trouble parking at the crafts fair."

"As long as I have legs to walk on, you'll never have to take out the garbage."

"Is that the baby? I'll get her."

"I made some Niman Ranch lamb tenderloin with garlic, black pepper, and Indonesian soy sauce for dinner. I hope that sounds OK."

"I like to get to these things before I have to be asked"

Hee Hee Hee.

Other news

So, I signed up for the written NIC test. That is the National Interpreter Certification test. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! The written part alone is $340. It's 150 multiple choice questions and I'm taking it on the 31st of October. LESS THAN A MONTH!!!! If/When I pass the test, I can apply for the ACIPP (Advanced Certification Interpreter Preparedness Program) for the Spring semester. Here's to hoping!
