Wouldn't it be nice if we can somehow do ALL our exams in this manner!!!
I believe we ALL absolutely HAVE to attend this session. I'm sure there have been days where each one of us goes home with a sore back, wrist, shoulder, or neck. While I was a student, each one of my instructors were REALLY particular about correct body positioning. I had to learn a lot of adjustments being 6 feet tall. Come to this session and save yourself from taking those pain killers!!!!
