Operation Hail Mary...

With the recently completed mock tests still below the mark, and the time for learning new words having expired, all hope rested on the outcome of Operation Hail Mary. As the name suggests, if the stars aligned, I might have a chance of getting the mark I need on the test.

On the plus side, in the past few days, it seemed that lady luck had been by my side. A couple days ago, I won a Zune; before that, I unexpectedly got a ticket to attend a company gala and got to eat and drink some delicious food and beer...

And today, I ended up getting a great deal on the rental car :). To complement my external fortunes, I added in a brunch of champion and drank the traditional drink of champions (aka coke...not to be confused with brain juice)... all to boost up my morale in preparation for Operation Hail Mary.

But even with all this, it would still be quite a struggle. Walking into the test center early, I didn't sign in to write the test right away, and chose to wait until it was closer to my designated time. Not feeling at all confident, I just sat down and reviewed my notes, while at the same time, tried to muster up all the concentration and confidence that I can gather. It seemed all too much like a lost cause until out of nowhere, the 'sign' appeared! It was not a godly sign, but it was a sign nevertheless! Needless to say, Operation Hail Mary seemed alot more achievable!

So a grueling 3.5 hours later, I come out. Though there were doubts in the middle that Operation Hail Mary failed, luckily, this was not the case. Operation Hail Mary was a SUCCESS!!! Yay!

Now Mson patiently awaits for positive news from the score of the 3rd part of the test, so he can declare that he has won the war!
