Yesterday I took things to a whole new level. I have officially gone nuts. Let me tell the story…….

While getting ready yesterday morning for the day, I suddenly realized that the only pair of red panties I own I had worn on Tuesday. Now let me preface this by telling you how desperate I am for a pass on this last REG exam. I was literally dying over the thought of failing it again.

I passed my last 2 exams wearing those red panties, and failed the other exams when I hadn’t worn them. (Superstitious, yes…).

I took hold of those red panties…..turned on the sink…..grabbed the soap……and scrubbed away. Washed my lucky red panties in the bathroom sink, wrung them out, hung on the towel bar – and blow dried them. There was just no time for a full wash OR dry cycle before I had to leave the house.

I still can’t believe I did that. I went European style in my own American bathroom, just to wear my lucky red panties. I have officially lost my mind.

Moral of the Story: Wash & Wear Thy Red Panties, Pass With Thy Best Score Yet.

Desperate times, desperate measures….cheers to an 84 on my monster, REG! Celebrating all weekend!

P.S. I don’t dare tell anyone I know about this incident, but I figured you all would appreciate it 😉

You made laugh. I have been crying all day after seeing my FAR score. I am not sure whether to keep studying or just

give up. It is very difficult to concentrate with lot of health problems and not able to get a job.

Jesus H. is right. Taking things to a whole new level here.

@sandy – I cried like a baby when I got a 73 on REG. I bawled so hard like I never had in my life, for 2 days. But I came back and killed it. Take a few days – cry it out, try to flush it. Give yourself some credit, FAR is a very difficult exam. Don't give up!!!! (if you need further inspiration, see my score difference for FAR below) Take some time to recover then come back with a vengeance. Try to remember the reasons why you want CPA after your name – that's the only thing keeping me going these days when I don't sleep, have horrible test anxiety, do weird sh*t like wash my red panties in the sink, eat weird food because my appetite is all screwed up, and have bad health problems because of all the stress. Not to mention my extremely impulsive behavior in my ‘spare' time such as ordering knife sharpeners and a new vacuum on Amazon. Good thing is I get home from work before my husband to hide the Amazon boxes 😉

Retake FAR, you'll get a pass and remember why you're still doing this!
