Good News/Bad News

The good news is that I took my schematic design test this morning. I had practiced quite a bit, and was able to check both items before time was up. I even finished the building design portion early, even with checking it.

The bad news is that Zach got laid off this morning. He found out before I went into the test, but he didn’t tell me until afterward. He gets some severance, but it isn’t much. Hopefully he’ll find something else, but with architecture slow right now, I’m really scared with me being the only breadwinner for our family.

Please pray for us. I can’t write any more because I’m still crying.

Two Down, Five to Go…

I found out Wednesday evening that I passed construction documents, the second test I have taken as part of my registration exams. I am excited to think that I am more than a quarter of the way done! It is taking forever, it seems, to get my results. Turns out NCARB and Prometric are having some “quality control” issues. It is rather crazy that the shortest amount of time it’s taken to get the scores from a computer test is 8 1/2 weeks. Next Friday (yes, it’s the 13th) I’ll be taking my Schematic Design test. I just got done with a practice vignette, and it took me 3 hours when you have 4 to do it. I hope that’s a good sign. I’ve really stuggled with getting ready with this one. If you think of it, pray for me next Friday!!
