There are a number of days in my life that I remember so well that I know the date. I was married on May 20th, and ten days later on the 30th my wife and I celebrated her birthday. Every year in early April I celebrate the day I was born, and in late April I remember (but do not celebrate, mind you, background investigator) a counterculture holiday my alma mater, the University of Colorado, is particularly fond of.
I also remember March 29th, 2010, the day I passed the Foreign Service Oral Exams. I remember it well enough to not even have to look it up, which I can't always say about the dates above. This year, I would have celebrated December 24th with my family, not only as the eve of Christmas, but as the end of a long and difficult dream. You see, I would have expired off the register on December 24th.
I would have, that is, if September 23rd weren't the day I got an invitation to the Nov. 7th A-100 class.
More excitement to follow, friends, but the TL:DR is this:
I got the call.

That is awesome! I added Nov A-100 to your link and will move you to the FS blogroll in November (hopefully on the 7th, unless I get the wrong date in my head again. sigh.)
