Neither Here Nor There . . .

Amen!

This seems like a fitting opening for this post as I feel like all I do is eat. Wes made a (very true) comment at 1:30 this afternoon...

"You've been eating lunch for an hour and a half."

Yup. I did. I didn't eat much, I just couldn't get satisfied. I had some nachos (chips, cheese, hamburger, and a lil sour cream), and then about half an hour later I had a toasted cheese sandwich. Half an hour after that I was eating graham crackers.

It's ridic. I just wish when I ate I got satisfied (as I shove countless grapes in my mouth).

I know my Friday Letters post was a little...less than happy.

I had a horrible day at work. Most of it was probably...well, not self-inflicted, but ...

...I guess I didn't do a good job of trying to have a good attitude. It just seemed like one of those days that things couldn't get better. Wes gave me a shoulder rub at lunch and that really made me feel better...........until I got back to work. It just never ended. Nothing was that bad...I just had a bad attitude towards work.

Which leads me to the next topic. I'm taking tomorrow off. Plans?, you ask. Nope.

I just need a mental health day, basically. Wes has the day off as well, so I can fully justify it. I think we'll probably go out for a meal and I need to get a new pillow and  body pillow at Walmart. Nothing glam, just some "us" time.

So, my CPA exam book will be here tomorrow. Yikes! You know what that means, right? Jenna needs to get busy! I've consulted my e-mentor as well as my favorite previous prof for advice on which test (of the four) I should take first and how much time to give myself to study for each test. I think I'm going to give myself 4 weeks to study for the test. I figure much more than that and I'm going to start losing the information. I'm a horrible studier. Always have been. In high school I never even tried - honestly didn't have to (not to toot my own horn). In college, I needed to, but it's hard to learn how to study when you're 18+. It's one of those skills that seems like you should already have mastered. So here I am, 26 years old, trying to teach myself to study. Per my awesome prof, I am stocked up on index cards and will be making flash cards - that I can carry in my purse to review at work and such. Also, my prof said he studied about 2 hours a day.

So, my initial goal was to get 2 (of the 4) tests done before Baby Beck comes in December. Prof said this is a good and doable goal. The more I think about it, the more I want to push myself to try to take more. It's possible for me to get all 4 taken before Baby Beck comes. I'm not sure how well I'd do or how I'd cope mentally or emotionally, though. To do so, I'd need to take one by the end of July, one by the end of August, (September is a black-out month) one by the end of October, and one by the end of November. Then, once I find out my scores, potentially start retaking them.

Well, that's enough. I won't bore you guys anymore with my CPA talk. :)
