Crazy Is An Understatement

Well, scores were released and needless to say I am back to studying audit. I had a hard simulation and of course when I got my score report I was weaker on the simulations. My retake plan in to do as many questions as I can till I cannot stand looking at questions anymore. I have the Wiley Testbank and the Wiley textbook.I finally scheduled my exam for April 10th and on the 11th the bf and I are going to Florida to visit his grandparents. It will be a much needed break considering I will be living and breathing the Audit for the next three weeks. I also came up with the crazy idea to study for the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) exam. Parts 1 and 2 of the CIA exam are very similar to audit and then part 3 is similar to BEC. I figured why the hell not. I mean I love auditing and to be honest don't really see myself being in public for longer than the next 4 years. I have completely lost my mind trying to tackle the two exams at the same time but I think its doable. If I pull this off I am sure I will be in a psyche ward somewhere with my two certificates hanging on the wall. I will be the crazy lady that rarely ever speaks and when I do all I will probably say is "What's the risk?" My favorite phrase in the world of auditing. 

In other news I am in the process of selling my house and lets just say it has been an unpleasant experience. I felt like my agent was not on my side at all. I was not getting what I wanted out of the whole deal which was very frustrating. Nothing drives crazier than saying something and that person not hearing what I am saying and doing their own thing. Anyway, one of my beloved #twudygroup buddies has a husband in real estate and he was nice enough to talk to me and reassure me that I needed to put my foot down and get what I wanted (all I wanted really was not to bring any money to closing and if I would have left it up to that woman I would have been selling a kidney on the black market to come up with all the buyers were asking for). I went psycho the last two days sending emails at 2am demanding to be heard. I can be handful when I get the feeling someone is trying to pull one over on me. That is all behind me now and we get to close on the house next Friday and give up possession on the house on Saturday. This was my first home and I am sure I will get emotional when Saturday gets here. One of the few things I owned and was proud to say was mine. The new place we (the bf and I cohabitate) are moving to will be so much closer to the city which will be nice and has a fenced in backyard for the little guy below. He is too cute but can be a little hellion.

I am using Gleim for the CIA. I have always liked Gleim. I am also blogging for Gleim regarding my studies. I will be retweeting my studies, so if you follow me on twitter (@ruggercpa2b) you will be reading about that little adventure. I will try and post a few things on this blog as well. My next post will be about how I will be managing my time between the two exams. I plan on sitting for part on April 22. My application was approved and have yet to pay for my exam. I function better with a chaotic schedule. One of my coworkers asked me when I slept because it seems like I do a lot between work, studying, and working out. Her words "I feel like you have more hours in your day than me."

I should stop rambling and get back to listening to the CIA audio lectures.Happy studying!!!!!
