    This is a total vent about this exam and scheduling and everything else going on. Work has been crazy for me the last 3 weeks working crazy hours and weekends. I hardly have had any study time. So last week I pushed my exam back from 11/9 to 11/25. Today my husband asked when my new exam date was, when I told him, he goes you won’t be able to go to the parties on the 23rd. I almost hit the roof, really that’s what we are worried about here? Then a long guilt trip was given about missing one of the events. So then when I suggested moving it to Dec 5th, I am told but we leave that night for vacation! I wanted to scream. I think the exam is a little more important then some party, and our social calendars. I feel like he isn’t understanding how important this last section is. Cause then the next comment is always just pass already. UGH!

    So now I moved it to Dec 5th, but I am not too sure I feel ok about that day….Last year I took Audit on Dec 6th (my birthday, and the day we were leaving for vacay) and passed so maybe its good luck. But at the same time I am always worried about taking exams at the end of windows during cold months because of weather…Plus I was really hoping not to study over Thanksgiving….I also don’t know how I feel about Nov 22nd which would be my other option.

    A - 61, 91!!
    B - 78!
    F - 76!!!
    R - 71, 73, 74, 69, 77!!!!

    Finally done!

    This is my 2nd attempt at the exam, I had two parts passed (failed many) and I stupidly quit, big mistake. Now I'm back and with a vengeance!

    What does your husband do, if you don't mind me asking.

    It seems he is not on the same page of how important this is for you and both of your futures. My fiance does a lot for me while I'm studying, cooks, cleans, and all that jazz. However, I do know when she is pregnant I will earn it all back and then some lol.

    It's funny, he is great about helping out, cooks, cleans, does all the errands, never complains at night when i study instead of hanging out with him. But if we miss any obligation that he thinks is important he gets bent out of shape. He is one of those people that always does the right thing, even if it means we sacrifice. Moving vacations to attend events, going to events that everyone else skips we never skip. Don't even get me started on the time i traveled to three states in one day to attend three different parties, while everyone else only went to one!

    3 parties in a day?

    Gross. If we ever have too many people trying to pull us one way or another we just stay home 🙂

    My rule is not to have any friends outside of a 5-mile radius. Saves gas.

    No, not work related, the ones on the 23rd? A first birthday and friendsgiving (this is a totally made up thing)…… I see why i can't miss the first birthday but friendsgiving really? What's the big deal?

    5 mile radius – I love it! To bad that takes me into two states, and sometimes hours worth of commuting 2 hours to go 4 miles today… 🙁 Metro NYC you stink sometimes

    I am totally having a pity party for myself today and I know it… Thanks for letting me vent, for cheering me up and making me laugh 🙂
