Interesting occurrence

Well, I had originally planned to take a Microsoft certification test(070-290) this weekend at a testing center I have found to be open on Saturdays. Last time I took a test at this center it took forever for them to get my registration paper work ready prior to taking my test. So I thought I would be proactive and call the day before to give them a heads up. Good thing I did. I found out that the testing center wasn't going to be open and there was a miscommunication with Prometric regarding their availability. I found this whole situation to be rather interesting. I wasn't feeling too prepared for the exam even though I have read almost two books worth of material and spent plenty of time working with Windows 2003 Server. A similar thing happened to me last time I took a Microsoft exam. I went to the testing site, feeling unprepared and Prometric just happened to be having problems with their servers that day. I rescheduled my exam, took a few more days for preparation, and passed the test. I hope that is what will happen again this semester. Someone might consider these little bumps in the road as annoying or inconvenient, but I think they are heaven sent. I am not the type to drop out of a class or postpone an exam because I don't feel ready, so I feel like God is helping me on my way to do better. Even if I don't pass the exam the first time, I feel more prepared now than yesterday in taking the exam. We shall see, but I really feel good about what happened. The bad part was I really wanted to go and see my family and because gas prices are so high and Heather wasn't feeling well(besides the fact she has surgery on Monday), we elected not to go. I will get to see my family at our house later this week, but in some ways it is not the same. I guess there has to be a downside to everything.
