2 down, 2 to go!

I passed the Regulation section of the CPA exam!!!!!

For those of you who don't know about the CPA exam, I'll give you a little blurp about it. It consists of four parts and the new rules allow them to be taken separately. The parts tend to be anywhere from 3-5 hours long and are HELL to sit through!! It's just a ton of information to learn/memorize and school obviously didn't prepare me for 75% of it! I've heard people compare it to the Bar exam for lawyers. Auntie Angela, you probably could give your two cents on the exams and their difficulty....although, when you took it, you had to take all four parts in two consecutive days. Now that would be HELL!

Well, I've passed two of the parts and I'm studying for the third right now. On top of working 12-14 hours a day, I have to come home and attempt to get through my $3,000 prep program (Becker)! Yes, three thousand dollars, and yes, KPMG has reimbursed me for this--thank goodness!

Anyway, its one more thing off my shoulders!

Another exciting thing going on is the fact that I am moving into my apartment on Saturday. It's only 3 blocks away from Kyle's house--he just can't get rid of me! : )

Once I get the keys, I'll take some pictures of the empty dwelling. I will get furniture a little at a time and then take more pics to show you.
