Why waiting for results....

can be torturesome and very beneficial at the same time. I recently found out on June 25, 2010 that I passed my first section of the CPA exam. I was so excited that I had passed even though it took an entire month to get the results back. I just recently took Audit July 7, 2010 and I'm told that testing in the first month of the testing window takes even longer.


On a different side note,
I have decided that today I am going to start sending happy thoughts to all of my nearest and dearest friends. I am enternally blessed for all the amazing stuff that has happened in my life, and now it's turn for my friends to have the same fortune. So today my happy thoughts are directed towards the Hannah to my Montana, my bestie Cathy! I sending her lots of TLC and extremely happy thoughts her way. I love you dear.

4 years, 8 sememsters, 42 classes, 126 credit hours later and I.....

finish my college career? Say what?

Yep. I started this post May 5. I never got around to finishing it. That's just how crazy I feel like my life gets.

As of May, 8 2010 I am an official graduate of the University of Northern Colorado. I spent the past 4 years earning a bachelors degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Accounting. Yep that's right, you read it accounting! I always thought that the summer after I graduated college would be a blast. I'd be able to relax and hang out with friends and have a lot of fun, until I start my Big Kid Job in September. Oh, but little did I realize... I was still going to be studying. You see, as of May 2010 I have begun studying for the CPA exam. It's an uniform exam that all accounting majors take if they want to become a Certified Public Accountant. The exam is a lot more intense and rigorous than I was ever planning and soon it began to take over my summer and my life, which helps contribute to my lack of blogging. Honestly, let's face it! I suck at blogging.

May 28th I took the first section of the exam Business Environment Concepts (BEC) and I'm patiently waiting to find out the results. I'm now prepping for Audit, July 7th. Financial July 31. Regulation, Aug 16. Hoping to pass all the sections before I move to Garden City, KS.

So as you can see my life is still as busy as it was back when I started this blog. I finally felt it was time for an update.

I'm proud that I graduated college in 4 years and hope I can excel on the CPA exam. I know that this may not be exciting for anyone to read, but my thoughts are just that.

Back to studying for AUDIT! :)

Hopefully I can update this sooner rather than later.

New Goals, New Year, Bring on 2010

It is now Jan 6 and I have spent the past 6 days thinking about what I would like to change for 2010. I can't wait to see what 2010 will bring. Without out further delay... here are my goals for 2010.

One: Go to Church every Sunday
Back in Cheyenne, I used to attend church every Sunday with my parents.
While I am not a fan of the bright and early mornings, I loved how I felt
after attending mass. So I am going to try to attend church every Sunday
at the St. Mary's church here in my college town.

Two: Lose the weight
I would like to lose weight by the time that I graduate college.
I have a goal set in mind and I am going to work really hard to achieve it.

Three: Eat Healthier and Exercise more.
In addition to losing the weight, I want to be a healthier person all around.
I want to eat healthier by cutting out fast food and only dining out for
special occasions. I also want to spend at least 30 mins to 1 hr and 30 minutes
working out each day. I used to dance in high school 2 and 3 nights a week for
at least 2 hours and I loved the feeling. I want to start exercising more and
maybe start dancing again.
Four: Help out in my Community
I like the feeling knowing that you've done something to help out your community.
I want to spend more of my free time helping out my college community. Not for
sorority purposes, but for my own benefit.
Five: Enjoy my last semester of College.
This is my last semester in college and I want to have the best time ever!
I want to smile more and complain less. I want to get good grades and spend
quality time with my friends! I just want to have fun and enjoy myself.
Six: Take a post-grad trip to Europe.
I went to Europe between my Sophomore and Junior year of college and I had
an amazing time. It was such a fun trip, for a class. I want to go back to Europe
with some close friends and have a Europe trip full of memories that I'll never forget.
Seven: Go to Sweden and Get my Masters in Accounting
This is kind of a long term goal. I have been itching to study abroad. I figured it would
be easier to study abroad when achieving the next degree in school than while tryin
to complete my current accounting degree. I want to go to Sweden because it is
part of my heritage and a place I've been dying to go since I heard Danny in Poland.
To accomplish two dreams in one shot I want to complete my masters degree in Sweden.

I can't wait to see what 2010 holds for me and I hope to accomplish/keep these goals I have made for myself in 2010. I am ready to make this year my year and to live life to the fullest!

Take Care,
Kacey In the Sky With Amethyst.
