The throes of academic pursuit

And so, my fellow bloggers, thus began the arduous journey of my ascent to the next level of mad auditor skillz.

To what am I referring?

Well, as you may or may not know, I (still) have ne’er but the board exam standing between me and academic, nay financial freedom.

The catalyst was of course when I was informed that I would be on away audit for 3 months. This, as it presents itself, is the perfect opportunity for me to “get my learn on”. The responsibilities at home are far too numerous and exhausting to enable a learning environment.

In any case, I did some planning last week, and now, I am studying towards Board One.

It’s a slow process. When I try to do practical questions, I feel so moronic that I must refer back to the theory. When I study only theory, I get so bored, I feel that I must do some questions to drive home the principles. What a conundrum!

Regardless, my new motto is to “Just Keep Going”. Therein lies the secret of success, I think. In previous years I may have given up too soon. This is the year I plan to correct my prior erroneous behaviour.

Also, this is the final curtain call. I will sacrifice and give it my all. For, after this ride on the merry-go-round, there will be no more.

Wish me luck and keep me in your prayers. This is not an easy course in the least.
