Yes, my day is just that exciting.

Today is another study day. I’ve got the audit/attestation (= the hardest) section of the CPA exam before me tomorrow. I have absolutely no hope of passing it on my first try; I am not an audit person, I am a tax person. One nice thing about doing taxes is that you’re always on to something else. With audit, you work on one client for weeks. No thanks.

But today I’ve got to make my last ditch attempt to learn/review enough information not to embarrass myself too much tomorrow. And here is my question: how much do you have to study before taking a study break? I’ve got a ton of study breaks built into my day today, from laundry to Waffle House to cleaning the kitchen. I could even mow the lawn. Do I actually have to study in between these breaks?

My music for today, the painful and boring study day: Islands, Sin Fang Bous, and my current favorite, Fanfarlo. Of course you can always see what I’m actually listening to by looking at the last.fm badge in the left sidebar.

Ok, gotta run. I think I heard the dryer buzz.
