What? A New Post? Shocking!

It's been forever since I posted last. Not much exciting - studying until I can't take it anymore! AUD section is scheduled for May 28th at 12:N. I wanted the last day of the testing window again, but the last TWO days were already filled! :( So, I had to settle for the next best thing.

I'm really frustrated with the AUD stuff, since I don't think I'll ever get enough of the information to get into my brain and actually stick! I vaguely remember auditing class and struggling through it, but back then I thought it was the world's most boring professor and not me. Well, maybe in all actuality it was a little of both. The worst part about it is there is a ton(!!) of nit picky stuff and one measly word will make a huge bit of difference. I can deal with a little of that, but there is just way too much for me to remember. I think I'm going to have to resort to flat out memorizing - and I really hate that! I would much rather understand concepts than memorize, but from what I can gather memorizing is the way to go...

I have been on a teeny bit of a wardrobe-building binge lately. Not sure why, it's not like I've been losing weight or anything...maybe it's Spring Fever manifesting itself in a bizarre way. Really though, I think I'm just sick of the clothes I have in my closet! I'm sure everyone can relate to that. AND I have found some really cute stuff out there too. Most of it on sale, and even some different styles/colors than I normally wear. I did get a little tax refund this year, so I can sort of justify my spending too. Although, I probably should be paying down on the car...yeah right!

Speaking of the new car - still loving it! Especially now that gas is inching higher and higher daily. I have been averaging 36-38 mpg lately. I thing that is pretty good, and even a little better than my old car. :) Makes me glad I was "sensible" instead of getting something bigger and more "grown up" (like the Camry or Accord or Altima or CRV or RAV4 or 3-Series Beemer or...or...or). I'm always looking at the cars out there, but not normally in the "market" for a new one very often.

Well, I probably should think about getting some zzzzzzzzzzz's, since I need plenty of sleep to keep from falling asleep studying! Auditing literally puts me to sleep...hmmmmm...maybe part of the problem?

Dear Arbee

I too suffered through a CPA exam prior to becoming a lawyer.

You will prevail and keep posting.

Have a good day.
