Yay :)

Things have been going just... so well lately. Some highlights:

- Jamie came home this weekend and we spent a wonderful Friday together shopping, stuffing our faces with the Pizza Hut lunch buffet (omg yum) and laying out!
- I also got to see a lot of friends I don't usually get to see... Laura, Sam, and Heather!!!
- I PASSED THE AUDIT SECTION OF THE CPA EXAM!!!!!!!! And please keep in mind that this is the one I took in May... I still haven't found out the score from the financial section which I took in April. Dumbest thing ever, but oh well. I passed!! I got an 83... a 75 is a passing grade. However, I feel like I did better on audit than on financial, which worries me because that means I did WORSE than an 83 on that section... not a lot of wiggle room. Eek. Fingers crossed, because I do NOT want to take ANY of these again.
- First paycheck from the call center comes on Fridaaaayyyyy!! AND I found out today that I will be getting an extra FIFTY dollars on my paycheck because I had both the highest average order (a $25 prize) and the highest percentage of people upgrade to a better threadcount (another $25). Yesssss. Granted, it's not really fair, because I was only there for like 4 days, so my percentages are a little skewed (for example, getting people to upgrade on 6/8 calls is obviously a lot easier to do than 600/800 calls)... pretty sure I'm not going to win any more of these contests for the rest of the summer haha. So I'll take it while I can!
- I have seriously gotten like 15 books in the last few days from my Amazon orders. This makes me happy to no end. I'm such a dork.
- Donny graduates in just over a month, and then that means he and I will FINALLY be permanently in the same city!!! I don't even know what to do about that. It's going to be a huge change. But a very, very exciting one.
- I probably shouldn't be happy about another person's misery, but... oh well. The NASBA coordinator for Ohio was fired recently. This is the guy that ignored my 10+ calls/emails/voicemails. It's his fault it took me 9 weeks (instead of 6) to get my notice to schedule for the CPA exam. He's just... a disaster. When I couldn't get ahold of him, I ended up calling the Accountancy Board of Ohio, and they were NOT happy with him... so I'm wondering if that's what kind of set this in progress. Oops. Oh well. For something as important as a CPA license, they should NOT have idiots in charge. We're all better off now. Like, seriously. That's exactly like having someone in the Bar Association just ignoring calls of prospective lawyers who are trying to take the bar exam. You can't do that. And it feels like a small personal victory for me haha.
- My boss from OSU just emailed me asking if I wanted to help grade papers/be an assistant for the Pre-MAcc program in September!! Hooraaaay extra money!!! (It's $11 an hour to grade papers... yes please.) The PreMacc is basically a program for students going into the MAcc that did not have accounting as their undergrad degree, so they may still need to get some prereqs out of the way or just brush up on what they've already taken but probably forgotten. Thank goodness for extra moneyyyy.
