Working and Studying

    I started a temp job on Monday. I thought I would still be able to study. It hasn’t worked out well!

    I can get in 1-1.5 hours in the morning. I already get up at 5am, and I have to leave at 7. That does get me to work early, so I can get another half hour in. I was going to study at lunch, but I have no where to study. The room I work in is locked at lunch (lots of sensitive info.) There aren’t any empty offices that I can find. It’s WAY too hot in my car. I am trying to find a solution.

    At night, I might get another hour or so in. Maybe. This is because I still have so much to do at home. I have 7 kids, and they are very good about getting stuff done. However, there is still a lot to do. I don’t see this getting better.

    Will this get better? Is it just an adjustment? I have to take FAR 8/31 (NTS expires in September.) I am SOOO behind! I do have the FAR audio loaded on my phone, so I am going to start listening to that during my commute.

    Any other ideas?

    That's pretty much what I do. I try to get in about 1 to 1 1/2 hours in the am, I do get in about 1/2 hour during lunch, the about another 1 to 1 1/2 hours in the evening. Everytime I set that schedule it worked and I passed!!

    Additionally, I get in as many hours in as possible on the weekends.

    Started sitting in May 2002, on and off. But since 2008 I've been nonstop and my scores are....
    AUD - 39, 48, 56, 65, 68, 73, 76!!! (Finally passed in Oct 2011!!!) Becker, NINJA, & Wiley
    REG - 75 (Lost Credit) 72, 68, 73, 75 (Passed again in Aug 2011) Becker, NINJA, & Wiley

    Thanks, jomarie! It will probably get better as we all adjust to my working full-time. I hope to get a permanent position with this company, but I am at least employed through September. I am learning Oracle (who knew it was so easy?) I will have recent accounting experience with a big name company. It's definitely worth it, but I still have to pass this pesky exam!
