little miss smarty pants

or so i'm told. just a little bit of news for those who haven't heard yet. back in july i took the foreign service officer test, which is a lovely 3 hour test for those who want to be employed by the state department in the foreign service (that's me!). it's the first step to getting an interview for a job in the foreign service. i just received word last weekend that i passed the test!! yay! i'm one step closer. now they have to look at the applications for all those who passed the test and then decide which of those they want to interview. that process takes until about mid november, and then they'll let me know in early december if i sound cool enough on paper that they want to talk to me in person. keep your fingers crossed for me!!
