Oh and you know you're a CPA candidate when it's all you talk about, it's like word vomit. I went from being your average college student and talking about fun things, to suddenly incorporating my misery into every conversation. && I've been telling all my MAcc friends about another71.com since it has been my support!

Thanks for the bday wishes! Yeah I only forgot about it for 2 hours this morning and then I checked my Facebook and was like oh yeahh that is today……pretty pathetic considering I'm not even in my 30's yet, unacceptable! 🙂

You know you're a CPA candidate when you you start having nightmares about being attacked by the material. Like, literally attacked. As in, words and numbers hitting you over the head relentlessly and your review book spitting pages at you. In one dream my boyfriend was being kidnapped by a qualified audit opinion and I had to rewrite it to unqualified to release him. No joke. This has happened to me on more than one occasion…

You know you are a CPA exam candidate when the first thing that crossed your mind when waking up is Oh so that is what Section 179 is all about. Pretty sad.

You know you're a CPA candidate when people actually think you have a friend named REG since you keep talking about him 🙂

when having the most awesome day means you got in 100 MCQs.

@onefreakinpoint, funny, I had a nightmare about FAR. One of the mcq problems involved watching a youtube video of a green dinosaur and clicking on the screen to find hidden objects. Only, my computer wouldn't load the video and so it ate up all of my time, leaving me no time to start on the simulations. I had argued with the prometric people but they said that it was all my fault. Now, I really hate green dinosaurs.

Anyway, I will interpret this dream as a sign to allocate my time wisely.

I left anoter71 on my new gf's browser and she was trying to figure out who I was on the “How will you reward yourself after you pass” thread.

Told her the one who said a trophy wife 😀
