I started the first one right away. It reminded me of the LSAT. There was a time years ago, when I really got into the logic questions of the LSAT. I can remember the workbooks and practice tests I poured over one summer. I always thought I was fairly good at them. These though, seemed harder and some of them didn't seem to have a right answer. There is one that even after the fact, I've replayed many times the various possible answers and none of the choices they gave fit. I don't know if I'm just not as sharp as I used to be and I was missing something or if these were more poorly written or even just wrong.
It was deflating and it probably didn't help that I was also still wondering if I had made the right decision about the essays. So I closed my computer figuring I could do the other two assessments in the morning, put my shoes on, and headed out to happy hour at the Greek restaurant next door. The bartender I enjoy chatting with was working so the evening went by fast. Plus, a couple of older men sat next to me for a while that were really fun to chat with.
It was enough to put me in a bit of a better mindset to be able to sleep decently last night. Then this morning after my coffee, I opened up my laptop and clicked on the link to take the last two assessments. I question their value as it relates to this job but at least these seemed quite a bit easier, although quite time consuming.
With those complete, I felt like I could breathe easier. I had managed everything within my control. Whatever comes of this will turn out just as it is supposed to.
So I walked to the grocery store in this beautiful weather, bought myself flowers, picked up my favorite lunch from Cava on the way home, had a nice phone call with my parents, and started thinking about whether I wanted to plan a full weekend in Atlanta to see more of Midtown.
