Well I'm done!! My test was on Tuesday and I feel that it went pretty well. It was a whirlwind trip to Vancouver for me. It started on Monday I went to the airport at 9:45 for my 11:20 flight. We didn't want Sonja taking me to the to interfere with Ryan's nap. I got into the building and was immediately told that the flight had been delayed due to fog in Port Hardy. It was perfectly clear and sunny here so it sucked to be delayed because of the weather somewhere else. So I waited. I had wanted to be in Vancouver on time because I had some things I wanted to do. But I didn't actually get to Vancouver until after 4:30, three hours delayed. I wanted to go to a movie and do some final reviewing Monday afternoon before taking an easy evening to ready myself for the big day.
I however wasn't able to sleep much that night. And 5:30 came early when I woke up to roll over and then my brain wouldn't turn off. So I watched some news and relaxed as best as I could. 6:30 came and so did the continental breakfast, so I went to gets some eats. My exam location was 3 kms away and I was walking around Burnaby, so I left around 7 to get there in plenty of time. I managed to finish my test in just over 2 hours. Then it was back to the hotel and an afternoon of doing what I wanted to do.
I had a list of things to pick up so after lunch I went to the mall to accomplish everything on that list. It ranged from bath soap for Ryan, new work shoes that hopefully won't be uncomfortable, as well as getting new cell phone plans. It was a very busy time walking around the mall trying to track everything down. I finally got everything and took it back to my room and called Sonja. After I looked at the time and decided it was time for a movie. I went to Lawless. It was a pretty great movie. After the movie I went back to my room for the night. I wasn't able get to sleep for what ever reason. So it was after midnight again by the time I fell asleep.
6 again came early as my flight was to leave Vancouver at 8:30. I again went for a quick breakfast and then it was to the skytrain to get to the airport. By the time I got to main terminal at Vancouver I just missed the shuttle to the south terminal. The next shuttle wouldn't have got me to the south terminal until 8:25, cutting it a little bit close. So I took a cab in order to get to my flight on time. I got to the counter and again fog up here. So there's $20 down the drain as I could have waited for the shuttle and not paid anything. The weather updates kept coming every hour and there wasn't a good one until 12:20. We took off about 12:30 and in Bella Bella at 2:30. It was nice to get back home and see Sonja and Ryan. Ryan was giving Sonja a tough time. I think he missed me.
Today was kind of a boring day at work as I had no studying to do to fill my time. It is nice to have all the time I was spending studying to do something else, like writing blogs again, or actually relaxing.

Congratulations Tyler - it's been a lot of studying for you and now you are done! Congrats to Sonja and Ryan too as they've been part of the process for you as well - cheering you on, trying to be "quiet" while you were studying, living in Edmonton, etc . . . It is a huge accomplishment!
