one step closer

took the third of four cpa exams on monday. i was *sooooo* very not ready for the test. but i was really blessed. most of the test came from what (very little) i managed to study during busy season. and the other big chunk was covering a subject that i taught to my finance and accounting students last year -- and reviewed repeatedly with them.

i am still just hopeful that i passed. but i recognize that it could have been *much* worse. let's just hope that i really am one more step closer to finishing this thing.

of course, after finishing these four exams, there is an ethics exam (take-home, open book -- heck, if it is take-home, it's kinda open book, open neighbor, open whatever -- and you get to try three times to pass), and then i just have to work for another year in order to get the required work experience ... but that's beside the point.

i'm taking the last test at the end of may. hopefully that means this dumb cpa stuff won't ruin my summer. :) let's hope!
