Update!

Hey, I haven't done an update on here for a while. I really don't know where the time goes. So let's catch up!

Today I went and took the Certified Professional Secretary test. This covers #90 on the list: Look into getting Administrative Assistant certification of some kind - and do it. The test is a three part test that covers Management, Office Administration and Office Systems and Technology. I didn't prepare for the test very well, even though I've known I was going to take the test since July. I don't think I did that well, especially on the Management one. I spent a lot of time thinking "I have no freaking idea what the answer to this question is." Hopefully, I passed the other two. The test is given twice a year, and if I fail one part of it I can retake it again. Keep your fingers crossed that I managed to squeak by with a passing grade. I really don't want to have to do this again in May.

Anyway, let's look at what is completed on the list:

11. Take a knitting class
17. Make 5 blankets for Officer Buddy Bear program [5/5]
19. Take a craft class of some kind with Wendy
