Some people drink, others smoke, I eat ice cream or rather ice SCREAM. As frustrating days go I had a top ten day today. It is all about a test called the EC-4. It must be some kind of cynical joke to call a trick ridden general examination test for teachers in Texas an EC-anything. It was tough, specially when half-way during the examination I discovered, well it was more of a revelation, that I was taking the wrong test. Let me restate. I WAS TAKING THE WRONG TEST. You see I had take a EC-4 test, so I went on-line and registered for it after paying $125. Today I found out there are two different EC-4 tests. To make matter more confusing I was offered a Bilingual Teaching position pending the passing of the EC-4 test. So I registered for the Bilingual EC-4 test. I think it makes perfect sense, but it doesn't make any sense for them (the school district) because I was suppose to take the Generalist EC-4 test. Nobody told me that, I'm fuming, I will have to take a new test and pay $125 again for the right test. So I'm boiling mad and am eating lots and lots of ice SCREAM, French Vanilla with caramel syrup to be exact. Tomorrow I am calling the parties involved in this most confusing situation to see if I can get credit for the wrong-test-I-didn't-study-for that I took this afternoon. I-could-just-hyphenate-myself-to-death-tonight. But dear Scarlett said it best-"Tomorrow is another day."

That is horrible, Pink!!! I think you should try to convince them to give you a refund and let you take the right test. Jeeze. I recommend another scoop of vanilla with extra carmel sauce.
Good Grief. That is totally awful!.Bummer!!....I think eating Ice Scream is the only logical thing to do at this point!!
Forward to the job!!.

I'm catching up on blog visits too - been a busy few weeks in Giraffe World!
How horrendous about the test - I'm sure if you follow it up they should give you the fee back.
Enjoy the Ice Scream! I've just done a post on stress release - seems to be a lot of it on Planet Earth!
At least there's still ice cream in the world to help.
I hope you get that job and then start earning enough $$$ so that the stupid $125 won't even matter anymore.
Good luck with the test!
