November 29th was going to be National Fail A Professional Exam Day.  I’d walk into the test site, sit down confidently, guess on most of the answers while looking like I knew what I was doing, make some impressive scribblings, and walk out arrogantly in 30 minutes or so making everyone think I finished 150 [...]
