    With all the stress and pressures I am getting (studying FAR for the 3rd time), I am easily disturbed with many petty things like my husband’s heavy footsteps on our kitchen tiles, loud TV volume, and all that. My husband has already fixed it. He keeps the TV volume low, he walks so soft, and gently every single time. It’s no longer bugging me now, so I stopped whining about that.

    We live in a cul-de-sac and we’re in the middle. The young family (with 2 boys ages 5 & 3) on the third house next to ours is very nice and friendly. My family likes them a lot. And I’m pretty sure that the feelings are mutual. They have become our very good friends for 5 years now. However, today I noticed, the next door’s wind chime is getting on my nerve. I don’t think I could study well. Inasmuch as I wanted to feel and hear the breeze of the wind and enjoy the great weather today, I decided to shut my windows again (just as if it’s winter time in my room:)

    What would you do if you were me? How would you dare ask your friendly neighbor to take that stupid wind chime down?

    Thanks for letting me rant here.

    I get to taste a bit of it once in a while. The problem with me is that, it changes my mood. I don't know. Suddenly, I feel dizzy and lazy. All I want to do is to go to bed, you know, just sleep. So nothing gets done with my studies.

    But, I am listing down what people have suggested me to try to drink. (When googling, Kentucky Coffee Bourbon popped up.)

    I will definitely try those in my list AFTER the actual test, or maybe the day before the score release date.

    I just can't wait!

    OP – I am a little late to the game, but do not ask them to take down the wind chime. I also am distracted by small sounds that were never noticed before while studying. So, I invested about $2 on some ear plugs from Lowe's. That was the best investment I have ever made. This put me into extreme exam mode. Complete silence just like taking the exam.

    As for alcohol suggestions, Old Smokey Blackberry Moonshine tastes like spiked koolaid on sonic ice.

    CPA EXAM: DONE!!!!
