17 Days Till Audit

I am down to the wire.  Less than 3 weeks away, 17 days 21 hours to be exact, from my audit retake.  I just had my mid year review and of course I was told that I am on track.  However, one of the things that I was told by the partner of my group was that I do need to show progression with the CPA exam.  This of course added on to the stress because I am now aware that I am under scrutiny. Being the procrastinator that I am, maybe this is what I needed to get to serious and try to be done with this exam once and for all. 

I took some drastic measures and asked one of my coworkers to change my facebook and twitter password. She is not on social media so she was more than willing to do it for me and I know that she will not give in and give me password no matter how many times I ask her.  To be honest, I really do not miss being on social media. There are times when I have something witty to say that I could have tweeted but now I just text those random thoughts to my bf fiance (I still find it very strange to call him my fiance).

I have been working questions and reviewing flashcards.  I have come to realize that sometimes when I get certain questions wrong because clearly I do not understand that particular topic I get flustered and want to give up. I have been pushing myself to go back and read the book and take notes on those areas.  I must say actually studying, and I don't mean the half assing I have been doing for the last few years, actual studying where you give 110% is a lot of work. I get why people get burned out from studying.  Hopefully I finally have a hang of this whole studying and committing to the exam that I do actually see a 75 when scores come out. 

Happy Studying!
