...wait for it...
Can't promise anyone that I passed (especially in light of my prior academic glory - see: Trash Talk Tuesday), but, I DID survive. That's something, right?
I have the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam this Friday, and then I'm done with this crap - hopefully forever. I will find out the results of the bar, the MPRE, and the last section of the CPA exam on roughly the same day (somewhere around August 28). So, stay tuned - at least for the end of the month. It will either be an AMAZING day, or an incredibly shitty one...
In the meantime, I'm starting a new project. For the next 12 months I present to you an incredibly exciting (though unoriginal) self-improvement project - the Happiness Project (stolen from the book of the same name). Much like the author of this charming memoir, Gretchen Rubin, I will focus on a different shortcoming or goal each month and strive to improve my life, and thereby increase my happiness, by making changes in that particular area. A sneak preview - August, Month 1, will center on energy. More details to come...
Alright happy people, I am off to bed. Back to work tomorrow after my 30-day unpaid leave of absence/Studying Extravaganza. Ugh...
But, before I go, a salute to all the people and things that got me through one HELLUVAN exam:
- The fine folks at MicroMash and Bar in a Flash. Love those guys!
- Microsoft OneNote
- My dear friend Senor P - for sneaking me those PMBR lectures. They saved my butt!
- The nut jobs that dreamed up this gem:
- Law & Order SVU and the Closer. (Win the Emmy, Kyra!!)
- My now ex-Roomie - the Intern.
- Deac, especially for my delicious celebratory dinner last night.
- AC/DC
- This song:
- This cereal:
- My wrist-brace, Bengay, and BioFreeze.
- My laptop, which functioned ALL the way through the race that is the state essay portion.
- My dear friend Professor E.
- A lot of prayers from all around.
- The spacious suite at my ghetto hotel at the test-site, and the delicious salad at the restaurant next door.
- The view of the horse park that made me want a pony.
- Coffee and Adderall.
- This cat:
- My bed.
- And last - but absolutely not least since I'd probably be dead or in a padded cell right now without them - everyone out there who believed in me. You know who you are.
All of my love and devotion to all of the above. You truly are my Sunshine.
LAY-TUH!
