Thanks Sarah, and you DID help. I'm a bit of a freak when it comes to good luck omens around an exam. I look for symbolism at every turn, and your birthday is precisely the sort of thing I gravitate to. The 23rd was also the same date I wrote my english language exam (IELTS), my seat number when added all together was 9, which is the number of the month and date on which Loz and I were married (9th Sept), and I'm sure there were some other good vibes that I was feeling too!

Yup, I'm a weirdo, but I'm a weirdo who's just passed a big exam!

About being brainy , I dunno, but I was lucky enough to study for my Canadian licensing exam within the last year, so had prepared for another similar exam in the not too distant past, and I haven't yet lost that 'what sort of question could they ask about this' brain action when I'm reading yet either, so that's good

Thanks again Sarah. I was really nervous when you asked openly in another post recently, because I was really concerned about the outcome, and didn't want to tell people that I hadn't succeeded, but luckily, I didn't have to!

Big hugs,
Jeanna
