Some of you will remember my post about taking the Foreign Service Written Exam, the necessary precursor to a career in the US Diplomatic Corps.

For the first time in my life, I purposefully did not study, hoping my education and interests would cover me. But I thought it was a stupid test, and did not expect to pass.

So I’m a little shocked — I passed!

Oral exam is in December. Stay tuned.
