I got my final passing score for the exam in August. I needed only 5 more credits to meet the 150 and decided to indulge my creative side and take a creative writing class. I thought writing a poem about what the exam experience felt like would both give me closure and remind me of how strong I am for getting through that hell. It’s really bad, just for fun and quite ridiculous, but I thought someone might enjoy. 🙂 Here is my acrostic dedicated to the worst experience of my adult life:

After working for nine and wanting to die for months, but it’s worth it because you’ll make so much more

Money that you can’t enjoy because you’ve now lost your personality and will to live.

Have you expressed your disdain or depression regarding the CPA exam in some sort of artistic form?

REG - 86 (11/22/11)
BEC - 88 (1/9/12)
FAR - 79 (2/29/12)
AUD - 71 (5/7/12) - Got a little lazy. Retake 7/30/12 - 85 on the retake woohoo!

I'm no poet but whenever I see a score below 75 I like to make up new dirty words. I can't post them here! 😉
