Chicago. CONQUERED.

this pics were taken yesterday...

City Hall...



Millenium Park...



















La Salle St. That is where I had my test.

I needed something to munch... Hungry and tired.


From W. Berwyn Ave to Michigan Avenue to Millenium Park....


A day's travel.

No car.

No one.

Just me and this ticket.



$4.00 all day ticket... not bad...

p.s.

I had my NCLEX today. Thank You to those who wished me luck. It should have been 260 items but my computer stopped after I answered item number 120 (???).

Possible explainations:

  • The computer thought I had no chance of passing
  • I reached the passing percentage.
  • Blackout.

Testing site said "It is important to understand that the length of your NCLEX or the number of items answered is not an indication of a specific pass or fail result. It does indicate how close your ability was to the passing standard, but it could have been either above or below it

(hmmm... I think that explained why).

@ chezza: i do.. sabi nga ni tita cristy "naniniwala pa rin akong pwedeng magpalipad ng sarranggola sa ulan"... lol...

@ boss Ruth: thank you.. i hope u rcvd the postcard i sent last week. and please tell tracy that i got her text (and cheers as well), but i am refusing to use my mobile at the mo coz I got lost last night at the mall (and it was closing, 10pm)and i used it to fone my cousins who were at the other side of the building/carpark. On top of my other call charges since i arrived, i dont know how much that more than 5 minutes call had costed me (i think it's £3/min). argh!!!
