just do it

only a mere 10% of candidates pass all 4 exams in one sitting. there's an 18-month time frame to pass the exams, or else one has to start all over again. so much money and time goes into this. BUT. so do other careers. i realize that i'm being so inconsiderate of others who are also struggling with their studies, too... gosh, i'm such a big baby... but no mo', no mo'!!

less complaining and more studying.
making my way to become a cpa.
suck it up and just do it.

for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe -- Philippians 2:13-15

first day

first day of the cpa review course. so fast-paced. crazy intense. 4 grueling hrs with one 15min break. and we only got a break because the teacher noticed how we were dying after 2hrs of nonstop information being thrown at us from left to right. during the last half hour of the night, i swear, she started speaking in a foreign language. it was all a bunch of jibberish. i wanted to cry.

my roommate just told me that when i came into our room, i looked like death. oh my. i believe her, though, because i was and am pretty traumatized by my first day of class.

during my drive home, i've decided to quit one of my tutoring jobs and deactivate facebook. i'm not a facebook addict but i know i'll be sad when i see pictures of people having fun but i can't join them. so, apologies in advance if i don't wish you a facebook happy birthday. oh man, i'm already so sad just thinking about quitting on ellen... i really don't want to... :(

Dear Lord, is this what You really want me to do?

Michael Buble- Feeling Good
Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom on a tree
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
That's what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me

And I'm feeling good
