Ok guys those of us that failed, let’s dust ourselves off and get prepared for a POWER WEEKEND. I have found that these posts help me and hopefully others to stay focused and determined.

I am picking up with FAR. This is my third day studying and I feel hopeful. I have my Ninja Notes, Ninja Audio and Wiley Test Bank all ready to go. I can say that I am already getting tired of Jeff’s voice (no offense). He has a nice voice but it is still CPA material which can make the best things miserable. So lets hear it every one. What is your plan for the weekend?

Friday: Several MCQ practice quizzes (3 of 1 mil already done), Audio during work and note taking

Saturday: Go to the UH Library and take a Practice test; Review Practice Test; Several MCQ practice quizzes

Sunday: Several MCQ practice quizzes, Ninja Audio, Review Ninja and Personal Notes

I am kicking some MCQ booty this morning! Feeling good. About to run to the store to get some red bull as prep for the late night study session!

How is everyone else doing? Hanging in there?

I am taking a break from writing notes on REG chapter 2 in Becker. Writing notes always takes so much time and makes me feel like I am not moving ahead, but I know it helps me in the long run. I'm about half done with the chapter at this point (wasted a little too much time this morning getting to it). Starting to get frustrated that time is going by too fast! I WILL finish this before the day is over (but I may need to take a nap first – lol – all this writing is making me sleepy).

How is everyone else doing?

FAR - 92 (4/27/12)
AUD - 96 (7/17/12)
BEC - 92 (8/30/12)
REG - 91 (11/12/12)

I'm at the library and want to throw my laptop out the window. Feels overwhelming today! 🙁 I didn't sleep well last and wasted time this morning so today is less than productive. Anyways, will be back to it tomorrow. 15 days til test day…just trying to breathe and get through each day and take one subject at a time and not get overwhelmed with how large FAR is. Just needed to vent for a minute. Time to get back to governmental accounting and try to focus.

@Mom2Two – Just wanted to say good luck. I also have two kids and I'm finding all of this very exhausting. Between job, kids and exam… ugh. Hope you do great! Best of luck! Wish I had three exams behind me…

[Mom2two]

Thanks CPA Driven…I have been at this for a while! I am just tired and crabby today. My husband is getting tired of doing almost everything and I feel like we are starting to crack. It's like 15 days…come on be strong for 15 days. But today I am tired and not feeling it. Just trying to power through two more hours, then take the evening off, enjoy the family and get focused tomorrow. Good luck with your exam!! I should have stuck with FAR until I passed!

@Mom2Two Ha my husband is tired of this too – if it makes yours feel any better – two years of graduate school and now this – and I'm not even close to done. I'm on Governmental today too. So much fun.

Ok took a break to go to the store and eat some food. Just finished my red bull and ready for a long evening of studying!

[momto5]

Got my nap in AND finished REG notes for Chapter 2! Taking the rest of the night off. (I usually don't think too clearly after 9:00 p.m. anyway – I don't know how some of you do it, although most of you are quite a bit younger than me, so that helps!)

Back at it tomorrow – Chapter 3, here I come!

FAR - 92 (4/27/12)
AUD - 96 (7/17/12)
BEC - 92 (8/30/12)

About to call it a night. Need to go back over Business Combos later this week to make sure I really understand and am not just memorizing. Tomorrow I tackle Deferred Taxes, Derivatives, Hedging and Foreign Translation.

@tootsie

Sounds like fun! I plan on taking a break to watch my Boys at 3pm until then…studying hard. Have fun shopping! Houston has a lot of neat shops and restaurants too but you have to know where to go. We don't have zoning laws so one minute you could be surround by mansions and then next thing you are in the projects.

@akb9874, I'm from Fort Worth, Texas! And a TAMU Aggie, Howdy! 🙂 I've been to Houston a few times. Huge city, lots to do! Boston is a smaller, more historical city. The architecture here is amazing. I love the weather too. No more 100+ temp days. You gotta love the cold to live here.

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

never, never, never give up

I am a bad hustler. We had an unexpected weekend guest up until this morning and I only have gotten about 6 hours under my belt 🙁 I feel worthless. I'm up at it early today and have the whole day to myself. Finishing up B1….
