Long Hiatus

These days I haven't had time to write and I have been reconsidering my use of blogging. I'd like to go ahead with my blog but I haven't decided what I'll use it for. Now I don't have time to deal with it. On 12 April I'll take the US Foreign Service written exam. Crazy. I'm almost 58. At the last exam 34,000 people registered and 4000 passed. I don't know how many actually took the exam. Of the 4000 who passed the written exam, about 500 were hired. Were any of those 500 nearly 60. Probably not. So why am I taking the exam? I want to pass it. I haven't seriously studied for it. I dabbled until last weekend - three weeks from the test date - when I began to study in earnest. Well Saturday I studied not at all but Sunday I did study for several hours. Yesterday I didn't study at all - well 20 minutes before sleeping. Tonight probably I won't study and again tomorrow I have some social appointments. But after that, I will study the remaining nine days. I want to pass.

After the exam, I will catch up with my email correspondence and begin my blogging for whatever forum I decide or it evolves into.

See you in a couple of weeks, Blogger.
