Re: Off Topic 2014

I think it depends where you go. Bourbon St gets pretty crazy but if you go to Metairie or Kenner they are family friendly.

edit

this is my 43rd post in here this year which is 21% of what I made in all of 2013.

Yeah, I definitely meant Bourbon after dark. If you think it's cool to bring a "nice girl" to Bourbon then I have to question if you've ever been to Bourbon during Mardi Gras weekend.

Two days until I close on my house. Cannot wait. So much packing left to do though

Re: Off Topic 2014

I believe its time to get serious about going back to school and getting this CPA thing - considering it was a 5 year goal in my interview 3 years ago.

I've been seriously considering going back to school for a masters as well. It might be time, indeed.

I just need 150 credit hours to be licensed. I can sit for the exam. And pass it. Still need those hours for licensing.

The funny thing is I don't even think the extra credits have to be accounting though they basically equal a 5th year which most do a one-year masters of science for accounting. Essentially another way to rib more money out of me.

JMU offer a CPA review "bootcamp" (4 days/week, 4 hours/day, 6 weeks) after May graduation that has a 90% success rate. Obviously that's more money, too.

Chase, I was addicted to Monster as well. It's happened before too. I stopped cold turkey for a bit then back to it. So far in the 2014 I have only had one, though. I don't mind having it once in a while, but I was having at least one a day, more like 10-11 a week.

FT, I'm in the same boat as you. I have 130 credits, I just need 7 random classes.

I actually sat for all 4 exams and failed all 4 but without proper preparation. I did get 3 in the low 60s...and Audit was a huge disaster with a 45.

I'm at a point where I want to pass but am not showing the proper dedication and motivation.

No more nap time, more testing/learning. Kindergarten isn't as fun now

How long do water heaters typically last? Of course I have to replace the one at my condo while at the same time I just dropped a lot of money on my wife's school tuition... :banghead:

I just had my transcripts sent to me. I have 135. Awesome. I need 5 regular courses.

A part of me wants to go back for the full year to get that distinguished paper and to re-visit college surroundings (the potential danger there is staggering - I miss those jogging shorts and yoga pants), but another part wants me to do some random courses and just do the bootcamp.

My only reservation with that is being out of school for so long and then subjecting myself to that stretch of accounting hell/fun.

Really? That sucks, I remember spending half of my time there eating and taking naps, the rest was mostly playing and drawing and learning something.


I don't why or how but I received a text message from a number telling me to call urgently, I though it was for a job interview that I applied a few days ago so I called. It was a Spanish (but that I mean with a Spanish accent, not simply someone speaking the language) guy with a electronic voice which I guess was a bot; "he" said that I won a contest and that "he" required my name, age, sex and bank account, yeah I was totally going to give all that to him. Now it's becoming annoying because that number has sent me like four message since and I can't find a way to reply and it's sent the same message to my mother. Guess it's sending the same message to several other numbers too, hopefully no one falls into that trap.

Really? I remember napping on those mats like what you used to see in the WWF by ringside. Man those were the days. I used to come home with paint on my shirt from over enthusiastic painting sometimes!

Ah good times.....I still have vivid memories of my early days at school.

I was presented the Dean's Award (dunno how it's called in US) today, also got a special award for having the best final presentation of my generation. Wooooooooooo

Really worked hard for his, I'm beyond excited right now. It took me 21 years to realize hard work DOES pay off.

Good for you. What was your presentation on?
