It's Friday Again!

Hello Folks---
Another week has passed us by.  Luckily I had off yesterday in honor of Veteran's Day and was able to get some quality study time in before attending the last Becker review course for Financial.  My exam is in 9 days!! Ahhh, I don't know how to react at this point, I am just praying I get through it and do not have to face everything all over again.  How is your studying coming along?  What areas are you struggling with?  I think at this point my main concerns are learning the governmental and not for profit areas of accounting.  Then I have to go back and review EVERYTHING! Since the material so quickly and easily escapes my brain when not looking at it for a day or two!  Give me some feed back ... have you taken the exam? How do feel about it? Are you about to take it?  What are your last minute cram tactics?  I can use anything!  Have a good weekend all! GOOOO COWBOYS! I will be cheering them on at the new Meadowlands Stadium this Sunday :)

T G I F ----- Sort of ??

Hello all my nonexistent followers!

16 days and counting until I sit for FAR, the second time around.  Am I feeling confident? Not quite.  Am I feeling totally lost?  Not quite.  I have good days and bad, times when I think I will be okay and times when I fear my mind will go blank.  Last night we wrapped up our 7th session with Becker and have our last two this upcoming week.  The only areas we have yet to delve into are Governmental Accounting and Not-for-Profit Accounting, woo hoo! Two of my fav's.  Anyways, I plan to stop at Starbucks on the ride home from work, get a latte, go home and change into some sweats, and hit the books!  Yes, depressing, my Friday night is actually being reduced to studying.  We will see how long my concentration can be kept.  Tomorrow is a new day, my only plans--hit the gym, study, and study.  G - S - S (GTL for all you Jersey Shore freaks!)  Have a great weekend and pray for the Dallas Cowboys to bring home their 2nd win of the season this Sunday!  

Like Ryan Seacrest, I'M OUT!
