Do I have to take the Professional level exam before attempting an Expert level exam?

The HCP exams are two-hour hands-on, performance based exams where a candidate is given a cluster and a set of tasks to perform. The HCE exams will consist of a complex hands-on, performance based tasks performed on a live cluster. If I am not currently Hortonworks Certified, am I required to take the Associate level…

If I went out I basically had to let her know I was going and taking the baby with me as if I was asking for her permission.

Its happened about 3 times so I don't think that she was genuinely busy all of those times... Anyhoo, extra info if it helps, Im 19 (male)'and she's 18. I'm on a gap year and she's in her last year.

I know I might be over thinking (I am prone to it), but I don't know how much I should read into this.

There's no effort to continue the conversation, and they usually end after 2-4 texts as I don't feel that I should make all the effort.

Hey guys, so I like this girl, and in person she's really cool and talkative, but over text I feel like I'm just an innconvenience to her as she always only answers my questions directly and nothing else.

Would a stop-in be appropriate or a call to her office phone?
