Merav,

I turned in my hours, not because I was afraid of anything, but

because I reached >75 hours. I, also, knew I would likely do more in

the next year because (for good or bad) I enjoy the profession and the

learning process. I just finished turning in my state audit, and hold

onto your bonnets, it was easier to do because I had everything

organized from submitting on-line.

Now, I wish ADA wouldn't just close our log once approved because, it

was such a handy spot to log everything. I hate my bulging paper

files. Having said all this, I appreciate Merav's perspective of extra

hassle and bureaucracy. I was happier letting CDR track everything and

just presenting the record that was already approved.

Best, Raphaela
