I think about the CPA exam everyday, can't wait to start studying. This normal?

    As I get closer to the 150 hr requirement to sit, I been thinking about the CPA exam alot, like everyday. A part of me can’t wait to start studying for the exam later next year (mostly because I will get to re-learn all the accounting I learned in school that I have pretty much forgotten now). I kind of feel weird for being excited because I know how exhausting and difficult the CPA exam journey is and I know it will consume my life until I pass it. Is it normal to be excited about preparing for the CPA exam even though I know it will take over my life?

    @DJN, maybe I am a misguided soul.

    to everyone else–I am enjoying my free time. I'm just ready to get those 3 letters behind my name. I hope I have the same optimism when I'm studying. But sometimes looking through this forum, it will question why I wanted to become a CPA in the first place.

    Video games are my weakness. Not looking forward to giving them up for study time, but it has to be done.
