My Theme for the Day

[SpcZil]

My PT test didn't go as well as I'd hoped.  Me, the A-student, NHS/Dean's List graduate who practically lives to pass tests doesn't think she did too well.  So I'm bummed.  Here I thought I'd finally found something I was meant to do, and now... well, now I'm praying I passed. 

Who'd have guessed they'd put things on the test that weren't actually in the study guide?  And I know they weren't in there--I had that study guide practically committed to memory.  I know they contradicted themselves regarding circuit training (it was either 3-4 or 3-5 times a week, depending on where in the book you looked) and calculating lean body weight (first is says use LBW times 11 for everyone, then later it says LBW times 10 for women, 13 for men),  So yeah, I read it.  I knew it.  And I'm still not sure how I did.

All this stuff I had memorized that they didn't ask, and they asked me a bunch of questions that weren't even in the book.  WTF, man?

Today's theme:  Michael Buble's song, "Lost."  I'm probably going to be playing it all day.

My favorite parts:

'Cause when you feel like you're done
And the darkness has won
Babe, you're not lost
When your worlds crashing down
And you can't bear the thought
I said, babe, you're not lost

Life can show no mercy
It can tear your soul apart
It can make you feel like you've gone crazy
But you're not
Things have seem to changed
There's one thing that's still the same
In my heart you have remained
And we can fly fly fly away

'Cause you are not alone
And I am there with you
And we'll get lost together
Till the light comes pouring through
'Cause when you feel like you're done
And the darkness has won
Babe, you're not lost
When the worlds crashing down
And you can not bear the cross
I said, baby, you're not lost
I said, baby, you're not lost
I said, baby, you're not lost
I said, baby, you're not lost

Just an update:  I did pass, with an 81%.  Not as good as I usually do on tests, but hey--I made it!  It's official.  I AM a personal trainer.

Now I'm studying to be a personal trainer with a different company--one whose tests match their study guides.
