Watching movies with my 3 year old, I realized I can identify with these characters in studying for the CPA exam. Maybe some other parents of youngsters can appreciate this. I spend about 8 hours a day studying. On a typical day, it starts out like this:

1. Toy Story–The scene where Buzz is Mrs. Nesbitt: basic hysteria followed by depression.

2. Finding Nemo–Marlin is yelling at Dory to “stay awake.. stay awake.. STAY AWAKE!!!”

3. Rio–By the end of the day, I’m basically the “crazy bird” in this scene, complete with the hysterical laughter.

@Cassandra you're so right! I can definitely relate to that Finding Nemo reference. Sometimes I feel like I have short term memory loss too…

Here's another from Monsters Inc. I think the CPA is a monster. https://youtu.be/fN0U_LDB6AE

BEC: 79! (Nov 2013)
FAR: 66 (Jan 2012), Rematch July 2014
AUD: 61 (Jan 2014), 86 (May 2014)
REG: TBD

I don’t know if there is a movie about it, but I feel like a Monk. I don’t go to the movies, no clubs, I don’t see friends. I only watch TV for 1 hour per day. My house is like a monastery. This exam was so easy when I passed 3 parts in 7 months at 29. Getting old really sucks!
