You know you're over tired when you have two, yes two, alarm clocks go off (one next to you and one across the room), at 5 am, and you don't even hear them.

Since 2008....
AUD - 39, 48, 56, 65, 68, 73, 76!!! (Finally passed in Oct 2011!!!)
REG - 75 (Lost Credit) 72, 68, 73, 75 (Passed again in Aug 2011)
FAR - 65, 68, 75 (Lost Credit) 68, 73, 73 - Rematch scheduled on May 29, 2012
BEC - 65, 68, 71, 72, 72, 71, 76 (Lost Credit)- 70 (Are you kidding me?????) - July 17th, 2012 -> Rematch!!

I WILL BECOME A CPA IN 2012!!!

I tried to get up at 5am but didn't hear either alarm. Finally woke up at 7 in just in time to get ready for work. Ugh, there goes two hours I could have studied Sales Contracts.

You find yourself talking about "Phil said this" and "Phil did that," and "Phil has grape Propel today," forgetting that Phil Yaeger is not a dear family friend to anyone else in the family and they have no idea what you are talking about.

Going back to my old accounting clerk job seems more attractive than walking to the library (6 miles) every day for the next 3.5 months and studying for 6-8 hours/day.

I miss my crappy, low paying old job!

Someday, it will it be worth it...hopefully sooner than later.

Good luck everybody!

I spilled my expensive Starbucks coffee all over the front seat of my car which was later followed by my son spilling his red Hi-C drink all over the backseat. Too tired and strapped for time to clean the car properly, I go for the garden hose.

Upon reaching for the hose I see a GIANT dead rat. All I could think was, "Are you kidding me?" I was too tired to scream.

When I was studying, I had dreams about MCQ almost every night. What's sad is that I'm still having those dreams every week or so.

Nope I sit on Tues..

Feeling like I wish I had a couple of extra days..but here we go. I keep scoring about 68% on Wiley. Becker's 1st final I got 73, 70, 60...I definitely lost it on the last testlet, so I feel like I am borderline, just need to iron out some things. I worked like crazy in cpareviewforfree and got 70-80 range, so that made me feel better, just wish I could get Wiley up higher, it would give me a boost in confidence. Going to do about 9 hours today.

How are you feeling for FAR?
