I just found out my passing score yesterday on my last section (hallelujah!!) but these were some of the urges for things I ‘loved' to do while studying:

-Grab my planner and prepare for the next day.

-Pay bills.

-Read self-development books.

-Balance my checkbook. This one was a regular… how exciting!

Be more in tune with my family! I just found out they are closing the banking center my sister works for and it was in the news but I live in such a cave I didnt know. I felt horrible when I finally found out. I am so absent from my family 🙁

I would much rather drive/fly home on weekends to see my boyfriend; clean; watch my shows or movies; go do things with people in my new town; plan for my overseas trip in April; anything that involves having fun…

Hang out with friends! My current friends, Peter Olinto and Tim Gearty, are not cutting it for me. I'd also like to take a road trip and visit some of my old college buddies & relive our good college times.

I would have to say finishing my remodel, which I was unable to do prior to starting the exams and has caused my home to be in chaos for the last 6 months.

– Actually see my family

– Spend time with my girlfriend

– Clean the dust off of my Xbox 360

– Enjoy the outdoors; camping, kayaking, hiking

…and now that you mention it, I do laundry, take care of the trash, and do dishes farrrrr less now that I'm studying for the exam. I thin this thing is turning us all into slobs!

[abacus]

@I want my life back – true that! I'm jealous that your wedding is 10 months away. So much time to plan. Mine is in May. Yikes!!

Probably lose the 25lbs I've gained since I started studying lol

[I Want My Life Back 10.12]

@abacus – haha, yeah May is a lot sooner and quickly approaching! My older sister's wedding is also in May, 5 months before my wedding, and I am in her bridal party. I am not liking all this wedding planning juggling with the exam! Best of luck to you! I hope cleaning moves down the list and wedding planning moves up on the list for you! 🙂

@ MRSJLeon917 – well that's exactly it, the planning isn't happening haha. I actually pushed my wedding back a year because of the CPA Exam. I've been engaged since July 2011 and decide to have a 2+ yr engagement so I could have the letters CPA after my name. And guess who's lovely idea that was… my fiancé 🙂 haha. Have to pass BEC so I can get down to planning!
