Random tidbits

As usual, my life has no one definite reason for me to actually ever write in this thing, so here's another jumbled assortment of things going on with me:

1. I took the CPA exam on Saturday. Let's just say it did not go well.
2. Right after the CPA exam, I left for Pittsburgh. It was a great, great time, minus one little incident but... c'est la vie. I suppose 48 hours cant be COMPLETELY perfect.
3. Now that I'm home, I'm ready to start packing up my place! The problem is that I don't know what to pack. I have 203489207 books (approximately), but I can't put them all in one box, because I'll never be able to lift it. My solution last time I moved was to basically just move in a few stacks of books at a time. I would like to have a slightly faster move-out this time, so does anyone have any suggestions on how to pack books?
4. Donny and I have started a wish list for our apartment. This feels creepily like a wedding registry, but oh well. It also is a little more out there than a wedding registry. For example, it includes things such as a punching bag, a shower curtain liner with low VOCs, and a beef jerky maker (guess whose additions those were). The beef jerky maker is what happens when Donny and I go into Sur la Table. Sigh.
5. A few weeks ago, my boss from OSU asked me if I was interested in grading papers for the PreMacc. I said yes. Somehow, 'grading papers' turned into 'teaching students how to do really difficult financial accounting problems for 3 and a half hours straight for 7 days.' FML. I'm terrified, mostly because these students HAVE to know this stuff going into it. And I have to like... prepare and learn how to do these problems myself. This stresses me out slightly.
6. I've lost my TV remote and this stresses me out even more than the thought of teaching a class full of students who are probably smarter than em. Like... it is NOWHERE in my apartment. So now I'm sitting on the couch, annoyed because now Kathy Griffin is on tv and I don't feel like getting up to flip through channels. Blah.
7. Round 4 of the CPA exam has commenced. I am 5 pages in. It is not going well. Not because it's hard... it's not. But it's because I have zero energy left for this. I would just like to get it done.

That is perhaps all.

  1. As I am moving right now, I have decided to do my books with my clothing. Right? how weird is that? Not weird. Make a box 1/2 books and 1/2 something super light - like socks. Label the boxes and bam. Clothing is also the easiest to put away/unpack. Anyway, that's what I'm doing.

    And not knowing where the remote is DRIVES ME SO BONKERS!!! I have torn the apartment apart looking for it before. At least you are moving so there is a good chance you'll find it somewhere weird like on top of your fridge.
