I put in probably 40 hours on REG since Friday. I have Fridays off work so that I can study. Coming back to work after the weekend is so hard because I'm exhausted from all the studying. I need a break from my weekend, even more so after this 4 day weekend. The only times I allow myself a break are when my brain just quits working. 3 more days….
My weekends are studying. My time at work is studying. Even my driving time is studying (audio review). When I'm asleep, I'm studying (I wake myself up trying to figure out what capital gains rate applies to my sleep, seriously). The ONLY time I saw friends this entire YEAR so far was to have dinner with friends who were visiting town. I think the last time that I hung out with friends before that was when Pearl Jam were in town, October 22. I never miss PJ, seen them around 70 times, and I had a bunch of friends visiting from around the country that I only see when PJ is touring. But other than that, no friends, no life, no nothing other than studying.
So I see on other threads people talking about “you have nothing to worry about given your previous scores” and “you're good at the CPA exam” to people with scores in the same ballpark as mine. I'm not good at it; I'm terrible at it and most of my pretests were at about 30% (which is about how well you would do picking random answers.) I just spend every moment of my life on it until I can't take it any more, and then I do it more and more and more and more until I want to kill myself, and then I do it more until I think I can pass, and then I do even more.
Having said that, I will probably fail Friday. Sorry, just needed to vent.
