Bryan Graduates PA School

For journaling purposes (since I've decided this blog will be our journal/scrapbook), I had to add this post in (for back in June)...

(As said by Bryan...)
I PASSED!!!

I took the Physician Assistant National Certification Exam (PANCE for short) last Friday. It is a comprehensive, 6 hour, 360 question, gut-busting exam whose content ranges from Cardiology to Neurology to Urology and everything in between. It tested me on everything I had learned during the past two years in PA school at the University of Florida. I graduated from the program on June 21, 2008...

...and took my exam on July 25, 2008. I found out this morning that I PASSED the PANCE!! What a relief!! I am now officially done with my formal training! School is over! No more papers to write for some useless subjective grade and no more studying (cramming) late into the night for an exam the following day! I feel so free right now. I have been in school my whole life; and now, I am officially done!

Now I can start concentrating on really important things like where we will go to dinner tonight to celebrate! Now I can focus on neglected priorities like my golf game and my jump shot! Now I can begin learning how to successfully navigate my dish DVR and PS3. Now I can commence my domination over faceless internet foes on my newly acquired NCAA '09 college football game. Now I can guiltlessly start the countdown to the Summer Olympics and Gator Football! I am free, I am free!

...for now...

Go Gators!!
