I checked the :mail: today - nothing in the mailbox!
So I resigned myself to clean up the garage a little bit, and I noticed a stack of packages AND a letter from ELSES. My hands were literally trembling as I opened it. I had prepared myself for bad news (felt good about AM, but felt badly about the PM).
And now, I am just so thankful - my wife has been so supportive of my year long effort to pass the FE in April and now the PE in October (I graduated in '85, so it's been a while since I've had to study this hard "oldtimer" ). It was just the best thing to call her at work today to tell her
ass . I think I heard her screams of congratulations from 30 miles away.
Thanks to ART, Benbo, and the other EEs that posted problems and provided support - I really appreciate it.
For all those who have passed, much congratulations. :congrats:
For all those who don't make it this time, keep the faith. Keep at it - the sense of accomplishment once you pass this thing is truly a remarkable feeling. The road is not an easy one. If someone tells you it is, then they are of above average intelligence or bullshitting you.
You must study the things that you don't know; if the frustration becomes too much, do some problems that you know how to do to get your confidence back up, and go back to the difficult stuff! You will get it if you're honest with yourself, study, study, study, and persevere.
RG & DVINNY, I sure hope you get good news too! My prayers are with you.
