I'm burnt out of this CPA stuff.
I was ahead of schedule in studying for Regulation this week but I'm in module 3 and I just CAN'T bring myself to retain this stuff. Suddenly my mind wants to think of anything BUT accounting.
So I'm contemplating taking a break. However, what continues to push me is that I REALLY want to be done with this by the time Memorial Day weekend comes around. If I can just get through REG, BEC should be a piece of cake.
Normally REG would keep me interested. After all, I always used to like tax. When I did my internship, I enjoyed the fact that taxes told a story about a person's life. It was like getting a minor glimpse into their life and realizing that appearances are not always what they seem.
I did tax returns for the divorced attorney who barely had an income to show for it because she was struggling to support her two kids. Then a tax return for a newly commissioned sailor who was doing rather well for herself.
I enjoyed that aspect of tax. What I haven't been liking in studying for REG is that I've probably overloaded myself. Taking 2 days of a break in between sections is NOT really a break... thats a weekend.
Throw in work, kids, and having to pretend I'm a single mom - I think I'm just burnt out.
Maybe I should just throw in the towel and succumb to the idea that life would be far better if I just took REG by the end of May. That would give me MORE than enough time to study for BEC and take it in July. It may be a headache trying to study and move at the same time, but I've done it before with my undergraduate degree & taking finals... it can be done.
Above all I still have to remember, there is a life outside the CPA exam - but this exam is like a huge burden on my plate that I just wish it was over with. I'm almost 29 years old.... I'd like to start putting school/exams behind me so I can start LIVING life and ENJOYING it.
It's Official

The beat to baroque is at the same "beat" of your brain when it is in deep concentration, and they did studies and found that it increases your retention of the subject matter tremendously. The experimented on school kids, and the ones who studied to baroque had 70% more retention.
I personally think it is because Baroque is BORING, but either way, it really does help when studying.

I think I would try really hard just to get it done, before moving. You will probably do better with a little rest, than being all burnt out. But, you gotta do what works for you.
