The REG section of the CPA exam was honestly not that bad. However, these exams are often deceiving from what research I’ve done. Therefore, a pass is certainly NOT a given. It could honestly go either way. I just have to be patient for a month or so until the grades come out. If a pass, then I can pat myself on the back for having passed one of the most difficult sections of the CPA exam. If a fail, then I’ll pull out my book and try again. Such is life.

Under the assumption that a pass is on its way to me, it is time to move on. I spent the entire weekend relaxing. I tubed down Rainbow River in Dunnellon, FL with my wife. That was a lot of fun, but DAMN did I pay!!! Not financially, but in terms of being sunburned. I under estimated the length of the 5 hour trip and didn’t layer enough sun lotion on. My back had never been so burned before! I’ve since moved from the pain phase into the itching phase. I took Saturday off to relax. Sunday, I flew for three hours with my two students and had a fish fry in the evening with the in-laws. Today was logistics day. I washed both of my cars, changed the oil on one, and vacuumed them both out. Later, I need to clean my office, update Quicken, and plan out my study time line.

Starting tomorrow, I am going to hit the ground running on the FAR section of the CPA exam. I am aiming to take it 10/5/09. That is a doable goal, but will require a solid effort to attain. FAR is the toughest exam of all four sections. I’ve always been good at financial accounting, however, so do not foresee a problem.

I owe myself a big fat CAO cigar for having taken the REG section. However, I have decided to hold off until I get the score. Assuming a pass, THEN I’ll have something to celebrate.
