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...

Since I've updated my list with new ideas, I've also updated the number of items I'm going to accomplish (because let's face it, if I'm doing a PhD, I'm not going to be able to get everything done in the next 3.24 years).

#01 MBA Graduation

I am just wrapping up the straggling assignments left for my MBA. It was a fairly quick degree to get, I went full-time and completed all 30 credits in 2 semesters. When I started into the MBA, I was planning on finishing it, wrapping up my CPA license, and living happily ever after in the land of employment. But after I got about a month into it, I realized that I LOVE learning. The next logical choice (after some comments from my professors) was to pursue a PhD. As a result, my bucket list has had to be slightly updated. We're moving out to Indiana, since I've been accepted to Purdue's Accounting PhD program, so I've added a few things and removed some now irrelevant items.
