I am chugging along doing mcq’s…..but in the back of my mind, I keep thinking: finish Christmas cards, finish Christmas shopping, finish decorating the tree (and the house)…….and finish studying!!! UGH.

I am going to take Christmas Day off ( I know, I know)—I am curious what are your plans? How are you fitting it all in? Or not? LOL!!!

@Yankee,

last week i was like “study ethics, study ethics, study ethics.”

this week i was like “yeah, shopping shopping shopping.” 🙂

Good luck on your studying. I will keep hanging out in here to cheer on you 😀

@Yankee,

One of my new year resolutions would definitely be “please God, let Yankee passed both REG and AUD.” 🙂

@atelery

Congrats on having Ethics behind you! Now sit back and enjoy the holidays! And your new initials 🙂

Merry Christmas and Cheers!

I don't have time to Christmas shop so people are just going to have to accept that I didn't get anyone anything this year lol

Wish I could do the same, but my boys would not be happy. I think Mom being off the grid is getting old for everybody. My hubby told me this morning that we should finally decorate the tree and get in the Christmas spirit! I wanted to tell him that Audit doesn't celebrate Christmas, but, well, ………..AAAAHHH!

I am right there with you yankee. I still have so much wrapping to do and we don't even have a tree up yet. Normally I can't live without a christmas tree but this year I think I might be passing. January will be so packed with cramming for the exam that I would have a tree up till my birthday in March! I might get a mini one tonight at target so that I am not bahumbug 🙂

Christmas Day, hmmmm, our pooch will be opening her gifts, lol. Hubby and I will then go out for breakfast or something. We usually see a movie on Christmas Day, but there really aren't any good ones out. I don't think hubby will let me study that day. I really should though. So yeah, I'm probably taking that day off from studying.

FAR - 76
AUD - 88!!! DONE!!!!!!!!
BEC - 76
REG - 77

never, never, never give up

I'm single, no kids, so I guess its acceptable for me not to shop this year 🙂

I put in 4 hours of study time yesterday and I plan to do 4hrs/day until Friday for a total of 20 hours before the weekend. I know I won't accomplish much over the Christmas weekend so I'm putting in my 20 hours before the weekend. I'll probably read my Ninja notes a ton on my iPhone while with family over the weekend 🙂

@yankee,

Not sure if you have to work, but the malls are opening at 8 or even 7am here in South Florida, you should check the holiday schedule around your area. I was holiday shopping few minutes ago 😉

Christmas Day in NYC for the first time….Wiiiiiii. Of course, I am NOT going to study during the Christmas weekend, so I am planning to finish F8 & F9 notes between today and tomorrow….

As for my brain, it is on vacations already, it has been difficult to concentrate on my study material since last Saturday.

Done 😉
Class of 2012!!!!
Lots of prayers and hard work....

I finally put the Christmas decorations on the house this past weekend and managed to freeze my thighs solid while hanging out on a lovely 20-something degree, windy Chicago day – I'm that smart. Then I had the bright idea to just pop on over to Menards to pick up some extra blue LED lights only to return home 3 1/2 hours later with sad Philips imitations since everything had already been picked over. Lord, do I despise shopping!!! THankfully, this year 100% of my Christmas gift shopping was done via the internet – so I'm set for the weekend.

Now that I have the CPA behind me I plan on doing absolutely nothing this weekend and it will be glorious. My parents are traveling to TN for Christmas so I'll have the house to myself!

FAR 88 (07/15/11)
BEC 83 (08/31/11)
AUD 81 (10/15/11)
