I definitely not one who is able to wait for things easily. Not that instant gratification is always best...but the last two days have been just slightly above torture for me. I still have one more day left to wait. For what? To find out if I passed my Black Belt test. Four years of training (which you would think would be the hard part), two days of testing and then three days of waiting.
I don't want to be over confident and think that I have it in the bag because what if I don't? I've been told a few times by people not to worry, they know that I will pass. I did do my best and gave it all I had but the perfectionist inside me knows the little mistakes I made. Not that you have to be *perfect* to be a Black Belt, but what if I made one too many mistakes? I was never overly nervous about the testing after I completed the fitness test...but I think I'm making up for it now.
The worst part of waiting is filling in your time so you don't think about what your waiting for. Usually I do this by watching mindless TV, to shut off my brain. But then sometimes I also have a tendency to bake, cook and eat when I'm stressed. Put it all together and you get me sitting on the couch eating brownies after lunch and contemplating a run to the grocery store to get whip cream for them. Not quite the picture of Black Belt Excellence LOL!
Well I guess the silver lining of it all is that I've made it through the first two days so the third one can't be that bad...
