What Next?: Half Way There!!!

You might recall from previous posts that I've been studying for and taking the CPA exam. I took one part in mid-July and another part at the end of August. And I've been patiently waiting to hear about whether or not I passed. Of course, a part of me was quite satisfied not knowing because I feared the worse! It would be much better not knowing my score than knowing I would some day have to go through the same grueling process of studying all over again in hopes of passing.

Well, after working all day and going to the city for my basketball game (My firm has a team that plays in an NYC league)...I walked into my apartment and saw the letter sitting on the kitchen table! It FINALLY came! For a second I almost ignored it fearing the results...but if you know me, you know that I can't not know!!!

So, I opened it and quickly scanned the page looking to see if I had passed. They list all four sections on the page with either "Credit" or "No credit" next to the exam. My heart almost skipped a beat as I saw listed "Credit" next to the first one listed and then "No credit" next to the second one....but then I quickly realized that they list even the exams that you haven't taken! The third one listed said "Credit" next to it! It was then that I realized that I passed! I, of course, had to look at it several times to make sure I wasn't dreaming!

What a relief!! it felt sooooooo good!!!! I still have 2 more sections of the exam to go, but I'm half way there! What a great feeling!

On another note...I haven't really posted any pictures lately! So, here are a couple. A couple of weeks ago, I went up to Boston...well, more like Harvard cause that's where the LDSSA education conference was held that I went to. Charlotte lives up in boston...So i got to stay at her place and hang out with her! Here is a picture of Charlotte and I at the end of the conference before I headed back down to Connecticut (by the way..it took me 2 hours and 15 minutes to get home!..Not too bad!):

The next picture is of Me, "Aunt Christine", with Caleigh, Jake and Paige! This is actually from the day the came over for dinner and we had the little 911 incident! (see entry below). They are cute, fun...and quite the handful! Trying to keep them entertained was a major task!
