The test is over. 100 multiple choice questions, open book. Not a cake walk. For the first time in my life, I used all the available time (four hours), and still came away feeling uncertain about my score.
Our LSS instructor, Katharina, gave us some cash to buy a round after the test, but we opted for brunch instead. We stepped over to the Hangar Cafe in Georgetown. (It’s a single family residence converted into a restaurant, so the eating space is about as big as my living room. Very cozy, and the food was excellent!) Over crepes, we compared notes about some of the test questions, and predictably, there were a few I now know I missed. Of course, this became blindingly obvious now that it was too late to do anything about it.
Left to right at the Hangar Cafe: Chris, Mister Esprit d’escalier, Dan, and Ha.
After twelve weeks of classes together, I’m really going to miss these good people!
I think I can safely speak for all of us – it would have been great to have Katharina with us at the “autopsy,” but I understand how impractical that would have been. We appreciate her uncommon kindness and unflagging encouragement.
