Test Four and More

Today's test started off easy. It is divided into 5 parts. The first part I feel awesome about. But then the next two segments were tough. Word on the street is that the first part is a sort of pre-test to see what you know. If you do well "they" give you hard questions... Not sure if that's true but today it felt like it. The final two segments were ok. I think I did well on them. Hard to know for sure. Guess we will find out in September!

So, tonight I'm taking a break and then I will start studying again. Oh joy. To add to the fun of studying, I will be also filling my "spare" time with packing... Yep. Ben, Zoey and I are moving! (And our fish too). More on that another time. Need to fill up the garbage and recycle bins because tomorrow is garbage day!

Holding Steady at 25

Last weekend I got my test results. Not good. But not terrible either. I got a 71 and a 72 (75 is passing). So I was oh-so-close! It really stinks to be that close because it means just probably 2 more correct answers and I would have passed. So, instead of ending this study filled life the middle of July, I will still be at it for a while. :(

The current plan is to try and take both sections in August. September is the closed month (no testing available) so I will have my results by the end of that month. The reason being is that my grandfather period expires on Jan 1, Dec is a closed month so if I don't pass again (please no!!!) I will need to take whatever sections by November 30.

Well, off to study for my July 15 test.

A Bride, A Prince and A Test

I know, I know. I haven't updated in forever...

Last weekend was my sister's wedding. It was a beautiful day, and she makes a beautiful bride. Everything worked out pretty well. Pictures were delayed a little bit, but in the end all the pictures were taken. The reception was beautiful too. I am still incredibly happy for my sister. Right now she and Pranob are probably on their honeymoon. (They had a reception in India today with Pranob's family and left sometime today for their honeymoon). I really hope that they have a nice and relaxing time. It can't be easy to essentially plan two weddings, one on the other side of the world.

After the wedding we went to see Prince Caspian with some of our friends (for those who don't know, the wedding was in the morning, so we were home and done by 5 pm). The movie was great. I really liked it. But it did make me realize that I really don't remember the books. I will be reading those this summer.

Last Wednesday was test three for the CPA. I think it went pretty well. Still haven't heard on my second test. I'm guessing that both results will be here towards the end of June. Keeping my fingers crossed for good news on both of them.

So Sweet

This morning when Ben and I were getting ready for work he paused and said, "I love waking up with you." Isn't that sweet?

Another thing that is sweet is I got my test results back today. Yep, that's right - I passed! I am so relieved! (Only three more to go!). Ben and I are going to El Loro to celebrate!

24

In a little over 24 hours from now I will be sitting down in a not-quite-comfy chair in front of a computer. I will be in that chair for about 3 hours. And if everything goes as planned, I will only have to sit in that chair 3 more times.

Tomorrow is test one (Regulation - tax and business law) for my CPA license. I'm a bit nervous. I feel great about the tax stuff but still a little shaky on some of the bus law.

In other news, yesterday my boss came over and told me about a job posting. He really encouraged me to apply for it. Funny thing is, I saw the posting last week and talked to someone in that group that I know. Today I am going to submit my name for it.
