Paper trail

Certificate came in the mail yesterday. Three months of anatomy diagrams, practice tests, and way too much caffeine, all folded into one official-looking piece of paper.

Paper trail

The test itself was brutal - two hours of questions about muscle origins and exercise modifications and liability waivers. I walked out convinced I’d failed spectacularly, then spent two weeks checking my email obsessively. Turns out all that time drilling flashcards with Carmen actually worked.

Three months of anatomy flashcards finally paid off.

Looking at my desk now, covered in study guides and highlighted notes, I can’t believe this chapter is actually finished. Jake keeps joking that I’m going to frame the thing, and honestly? He might not be wrong.

Now the real work starts. Time to turn all those theoretical training plans into actual programs for actual people. First client meeting is scheduled for next week, and suddenly those practice sessions feel a lot more important than they did when this was just homework.
