Hi Rap,
Thank you for your note validating my feelings.
I'm 99.9% sure that I obtained my certification. It may be a few weeks before I receive official notification.
In the meantime I have two classes to teach starting next Monday at the community college where I have been teaching for 2-1/2 years now.
The pay is so much better at the university where I've been "auditioning" for three weeks.
You guys will be among the first to know!!
It feels so good just to get back to the rest of my life.
EJ
