Well after nearly a year and 30 credit hours later, I am taking my last final exam tonight for my Cost Accounting II class. Much of the stuff on this final I reviewed for when I prepared for the last CPA exam section (overlapping material), so I’ve actually put in very little dedicated study for this final. Plus, I need a 46% (F) on the final to secure a B in the class, though I will likely end up with an A.
I am about to go out of town for a short vacation to New York City and Maine to recharge my batteries and rediscover the meaning of life.
When I get back, my grade for the final I am about to take this evening should be posted, along with the the most recent CPA exam section I took. Assuming good news on both fronts, I’ll have one single test remaining to pass (AUD) before I am done with the CPA pursuit.
I’ve got a couple other personal goals to achieve immediately after the last test before I start holding out for a full time job again.
Money is surprisingly in good shape after not having worked for a year now. I am not collecting unemployment either. Revenue hasn’t been any higher than planned, I guess the real work has come from the expense side of the ledger – but we still haven’t noticed a marked drop of quality of life. We still eat out occasionally, vacation occasionally, don’t stress about gas consumption, etc.
I’m mentally done with this particular game of achieving this CPA. When I complete the final tonight, I’ll be happy the 5th year school work is done. One more push is required to wrap up this last CPA section, then I get to move on with my life plans – which is exciting. 2010 is going to be a pretty powerful year for me and I am stoked about making good things happen.
