Is it really November already? It just seems like time goes faster and faster as we get older. I look back and so much has happened, yet at the same time nothing has happened and I find myself constantly waiting for nothing. Lately I've been consumed by the CPA exam. I am miserable when I'm studying (which is all the time) and i'm miserable when I'm not studying (because i'm constantly thinking about it). I've stopped going out, I've stopped meeting up with friends, and the rare occasions that I do end up going out i'm Ms. PartyPolice because really all I can think about is work, studying, and more work. Whats awful is thinking of the friends that i've lost contact with because of my new obligation. What's even worse are the friends that you expect to understand, but they don't and you loose those friendships too. Soon there'll be nothing left but a stupid piece of paper that says "congrats, you're a cpa! now go continue auditing"! I'm not unhappy. I just don't know how to describe where I am. I've accepted this as something that I need to get done so I'll get it done. The disheartening thing is looking around me and watching my life go by and being left behind. But looking back since my last update, there have been some big milestones too (both good and bad): 1. Annie Got Married! 
2. Susan came to visit and we went to Beer Garden (and ate through all of manhattan)  
3. Moving into my apartment! 4. Passing the first part of my CPA exam!  5. Went on my cruise vacation! (yes those are my knees!) 
5. Crying at work for the first time 6. My senior getting engaged!! 7. Gracie leaving PwC =((((( 
8. Halloween in Brooklyn 
9. Another freaking root canal (which means more bills, ughhhh) - whats up with my teeth!? i'll be in dentures in about 5 years at this rate! 10. And soon to come, the Spice Girls Concert! So I guess this is the bittersweetness of life? |
