Another feather in my cap *smug smile*
tee hee.... its not that big a deal. But I finally managed to give the SAS exam today and passed it too. But the feather in the cap is not my passing the exam, but not having postponed it the gazillionth time. Icing on the cake is the passing part. Sounds silly? Actually you need to be in my shoes to understand what this is all about. I almost postponed it yesterday night again due to last minute panic attack, but fortunately couldn't as the deadline of postponing had passed. Guess even 'He' got bored of this last minute postponing game. I was so proud of myself that I went and spent hubby's cash on two tops. Yes, I have all the reasons to be smug :).

SAS? Or pain in the ass?
As cheesy as the title sounds, I have nothing against SAS on a personal level. It is just that after having been stuck with exams for a good part of my life (read 26 yrs, approx), I figured it is payback time with a job and perks associated with one. It so figures that my rendezvous with exams has not come to an end...yet. For those who have pretty much no clue about what I am talking about, SAS stands for Statistical Analysis Software programming. Have to give SAS Base programming certification exam to add value to my resume, and hopfully, to clinch me a job. Having postponed taking this exam for so long, I got an epiphany today that reinforced my fear and loath for exams (for the love of God, I need a synonym for this word!) all over again. Well, may be not an epiphany since this is something I have always known. Somehow for me, associating anything with examinations kicks out the fun part totally out of the window! On the other hand, exams motivate me to give my best. But I hate to study from an examination point of you. In short, I am so screwed.
Aaaand, its official. I am rambling, again. Gotta go back and study. And this time around, I am sooo not postponing, so HELP ME GOD!
