Well the motivation is definitely not over here. Sad to say it but I have no desire to study. Nor have I really been studying. I watched one hour of video last week and it seemed like the longest hour of my life.
I've been enjoying the life that I've been missing. Talking to friends, going shopping, watching movies, pampering myself etc. I haven't done most of those things in a year (literally).
My co worker who is a CPA suggested back in September that I just take time off to regroup. She thought that maybe I was burned out. I told her that I had to keep going I just have to pass. Did that happen??? Um no it didn't. So here I am today a year later with no passing grade. The crazy thing is I don't even know how I'm going to do this. I don't have a good strategy and I don't feel like I know enough to pass.
I'm not giving up. I'm just taking a break.
Atleast another 2-3 weeks. I'm not going to lose my NTS for REG that expires on April 1st so I'll be taking REG before then.
But before I pick those books up I need to have a winning strategy.
I dread taking those practice questions. They are like the devil to me. I get so confused sometimes and I draw a complete blank.
I only have about 7-8 hours left of videos to watch for REG and I wish I had the energy to knock it all out this week. But I would be lying if I said I would. I just want to enjoy life for a little and then get back into it.
I'm going to be a CPA....but just not before my original goal of April.
I felt like this at the beginning of the summer. I took like a week to write down why I wanted to be a CPA. I mean I knew that I wanted to be a CPA, but I needed to really know why I was willing to sacrifice my "me" time and give it over to mastering this material for these exams. Take your time and and enjoy your break. When you are ready you will know.
ReplyDeletemy motivation is really lacking too. i thought after passing FAR i'd be super charged up for the next one. well, i was but that quickly wore off. i've been watching the videos for REG at a snail pace so i really need to pick it. i hope we both overcome this lack of motivation soon!
ReplyDeleteKeep at it. You'll get there. Go at your own pace and take it one day at a time.
