jianantonicThis weekend has been awesome. But today has been full of suckitude. Lemme esplain. (Full disclosure: I'm already drunk from celebrating the things I'm about to write about.)
I had wanted to finish all my real estate course exams this weekend. As of Friday, I had five to go (out of the original seven). I had intended to spread them out, but Friday and Saturday were so full of awesome that I had no time at home to do lame things like study and work. So Sunday rolled around and not only was I exhausted from a funtastic weekend, but I had five tests left to take, and all the review...by noon, I was still tossing and turning and trying to squeeze some more rest out of the "night," and had made no progress. But I'd promised myself (and my new boss) that I'd finish this weekend, so I had to buckle down. It took me all flipping afternoon, but I finished the tests! You have to score 75% or better on each in order to pass. I passed them all on the first try, but I scored 76% and 78% on two of them. That was close!
As a lifelong 4.0 student, I'd normally feel pretty shitty about C performances like this, but the fact of the matter is that a lot of the shit that I was tested on is only tangentially relevant to a real estate career, so I don't feel the need to know it thoroughly. Also, my brokerage is behind me 100%, and after I pass the licensing exam, I'll have that safety net under me throughout. And I'll learn it all as I experience it. Exactly 0% of this coursework dealt with how to negotiate, how to be a salesperson, stuff like that. It feels like this is just the hurdle I have to jump before I can start the job. I know I'm going to fucking love it. I'm so psyched that I'm ready to start now.
I'm going into the office tomorrow to set up MY office. My website, etc. Getting closer. I need a good domain name for my website. I'm using my legal name, Margaret, instead of Meg as an agent. So the URL should include my name and something about property or real estate or something...I'm TERRIBLE at coming up with this stuff. Any ideas? One of my colleagues is named Stacy, and she has realestacy.com. Makes me wish my name was Stacy...and that domain wasn't already taken :P Anyway.
YAY. I'm so close!
