    It’s Saturday night here in Germany, and I’m just having a little pity party, because … well, I think some of you know where I’m coming from!

    I was lucky enough to score my dream accounting job after I quit a dead end job that I had to work here in Germany to stop myself going crazy. I thought I’d be studying the next two CPA exams while unemployed, but fate had another road for me to follow! I get home from being stressed about learning a new job, and then coming home and study accounting each night. And each weekend. And since I have to fly back to the USA from Germany to sit the exams, I feel like I have to study for two at a time.

    I’m on chapter 7 of financial right now, and over the worst of the hump of BEC (onto chapter 5 now) but I still feel overwhelmed. So, I’m sitting here on a Saturday night, pondering over the amount of stress this exam places on me, while enjoying a vodka and coke – because, why not?

    Fingers crossed it won’t be long before this is behind me and this journey feels like it was long ago!

    But for now, I’ve got the Saturday night blues.

    Alcohol is the only thing that has been getting me through all this studying the past six months! At the end of the day when I'm done studying, I always feel the need to have a drink…or three. 😉

    Haha! I feel you. I come home from work and I'm like, wouldn't my study go so much better with a glass of wine? Or how about a whole bottle? Kidding. But not really.

    Ha! We're definitely on the same page! I actually find that I usually get better scores on MCQs with a glass of wine in hand. Unfortunately my score declines rapidly when I move on to the second glass. It's only 1:30 here in Arizona and I'm already looking forward to my reward at the end of the day… 🙂

    Good to know! I think I might actually just go ahead and do that during the week. What harm is one glass? Haha!

    Good luck with FAR- I see you are sitting before me! And good luck with holding out for the end of the day. I already ended up moving onto my second vodka so no more earnings per share for me tonight!

    I have Saturday night blues as well! More so because my wife's family and friends have been over for about a week, and today is the first day they haven't been in the house. Instead of relaxing and decompressing from the bullshit, I have to study FAR! Yay….it may be beer o clock very soon
