CPA Exam Studying

I am currently taking a break in my studying for my final CPA exam, Financial Accounting. This thing has been a beast. I never knew how engaging governmental accounting could be.

I take the exam on April 30. If I pass it, I'm done. If I don't, I have until July 5 to take the exam again, otherwise I lose my Regulation exam (per the 18-month window).

I'm really looking forward to being done with this thing - it will be nice to see my wife and children again...
