I Might Be a CPA . . .

. . .or maybe 3/4 done; or maybe still just halfway done. Just finished the 4th test literally less than an hour ago. I'm currently sitting in the beautiful Chicago Public Library writing this. Nothing like going straight from a CPA test to the library. Damn, do I know how to party or what!? Actually, because I'm such a nerd I have been fantasizing the last month about how nice it will be to be able to read again during the morning el ride instead of studying. I think people are used to guys staring at hot chicks on the el, but it's something different altogether to be leering seductively at someone's paperback. No one quite knows how to respond.

Anyway, now it's just a matter of waiting. The first round of scores are supposed to be released the week of May 16th, so I've got at least 3 more weeks ahead of me. But they are estimating that they will only have 70% of the scores from the two tests I'm waiting on so it's possible I won't find out one or even both of them till halfway through June. I suppose if I was motivated I would keep myself up to speed and keep studying so I don't forget everything, but frankly at this point if I even look at my review books again for a while I think I'm going to vomit.

Took tomorrow off to catch up on sleep and let my brain cool down and I'm looking forward to eating some horrible food (still debating between italian beef and chili-cheese fries or Taco Bell) and relaxing while watching the Cubs.

Mom it's taco BELL, not Taco John's, and I have a feeling John will not be able to wait, seeing as how he has a weekly trip to Taco Bell and goes through withdrawal symptoms if he doesn't get it. However, I also know that even though he'll eat it in the meantime, I am sure he'll be thrilled to go again with you guys too.

Good Job John!!! I am proud of you. Does this mean you are gonna get back to helping out around the house instead of "studying" all the time? If you don't pass these last 2 tests I am gonna know you were just fake "studying" to get out of doing the dishes. I'm on to you man.

Ha! Taco's John's. Wonder where they got that idea from. :)

Good job on finishing all your tests! I took yesterday off, myself. It was lovely. I had a much flimsier excuse than you, though.
