Hi all,

So I am currently “stuyding” for REG and by that I mean I have done two chapter but should be on chapter 4 by the end of this week. Yesterday I had a scratchy throat and it turned into a full on sore throat with sneezing, running nose, fever, and not being able to swallow. How does everyone stay motivated to keep studying if they are sick? I can’t get myself to pick up my book 🙁 Or do you just wait until you feel better?

I, too, am having some issues currently. I have a runny nose and have been violently sneezing. I have allergies to my cat so I'm not exactly sure if its a cold, but its certainly not helping with studies…

Hope you feel better!

AUD - 92
BEC - 81
FAR - 76
REG - 89

Never give up!

Rest and get tons of sleep each night! When you do sit down to study, have some tea and drink tons of water throughout the day. Flush it out of your system!

Take a hot shower and get all that gunk out of your sinuses. And take plenty of naps. Naps are good. 🙂

R - *77*(02/'13)-Becker & NINJA
A - 71('11); *87*(04/'13)-Becker & NINJA
F - *76*(08/'13)-Becker & NINJA - "server upgrade" survivor
B - 60('11); *82*(10/'13) -Becker & NINA

DONE, DONE, AND DONE.

I have been sick during college studying for finals, and this worked for me. This is my Texas Home Remedy:

1) Cambell's Chicken Broth in can – open the can, pour broth into a coffee cup, heat up in the microwave, and drink. Drink as much as you can. This should give you a boost of energy and help with that sore throat.

2) Before bedtime drink a Hot Toddy. 1 cup Hot Tea, 1 tblsp Honey, 1 oz. whiskey, and a lemon squeeze.

I hope you all feel better soon, and make sure to get some sleep.

I know how you all feel. I had surgery on Friday, and although I'm very grateful that my recovery has not been as painful as I thought, it has definitely cut into my study-focused mentality. The first three days I was hopped up on oxycodone, which made me groggy and I couldn't focus. Now I've stopped taking it because I need to focus on studying and the pain has gone down to a manageable level. The stitches itch like crazy, and I'm not very mobile (I haven't gone downstairs, let alone outside, since my surgery on Friday). Feeling kinda depressed…sitting in a room without fresh air for the past five days, having an exam looming over you will do that. I'm trying to remind myself that in 13 days I may never have to worry about the CPA exam again, but it's so hard. Plus, there's noisy construction going on outside my window, which makes it impossible to concentrate on studying. Even more frustrating because I know I can't get up and go somewhere else to study.
