Damn you CPA exam!

Two and a half years ago I had a bright idea to become a CPA. I guess it was longer than that because I did go back and get my masters to bring me up to the 150 hour requirement but whatever. Not once did anyone ever tell me that it would be easy. I assumed it would be. Never assume anything. In high school I thought I was pretty damn smart. I thought that would hold true when I went to college. WRONG. I may have been pretty smart if I hadn't gone to a pretty big school but that was not the case. I met and became friends with people who graduated at the top of their class from some pretty big high schools. I also struggled a lot in my classes for my degree. If it's truly what you're meant to do should it be a struggle? I know they say that things worth having don't come easy well then becoming a CPA better be the best damn thing that has ever happened to me because it has been a horrible, difficult, almost soul shattering experience! I keep taking the exams and getting pretty close on some. Close but no cigar. It's beyond frustrating and I just want to have it done and over with already. I guess Wednesday brings either great news or more horrible news yet again. We shall see...
