HITTING THE BOOKS
The time has come; I've run out of free passes. I can't procrastinate any longer. Next month is my last shot at taking the dreaded Certified Internal Audit (CIA) exam. Two years ago, I passed three of four parts. A move from Phoenix, a divorce, a new job, another new job, etc. have all contributed to my two-year procrastination. When I first took this thing, my former bitch boss forced me and the whole department to take the exam. That was then. I'm in such a different place in my life now. Passing this exam won't do a thing for me. I could honestly care less if I have three more letters next to my name. I guess the only reason I'm taking it is because I put forth such an effort two years ago. Somehow, I don't want to see all that effort go to waste. So for the next four weeks, I'm gonna buckle down and study. I'm not sure if this old brain of mine can retain anything anymore. I can usually achieve something if I put my mind to it, but I'm so NOT motivated. Oh well, time to get to it. I may be a stranger and not contribute to this fledgling blog as often as I'd like so bear with me.

Hi Todd,
Go for it! After all you've nothing to lose if you study further and get those 3 alphabets right next to your name.
Rather than lamenting why you did not study when you had a chance, i reckon, its THE best time to study further. All The Best

Good luck! Welcome back to the studying world. :) If you were back at UF, you could keep me company in Norman Library.
Do you have to take all 4 parts again or only the 1 you didn't pass?

GFF, I wish I could take you up on the offer. Keeping you company in Norman would be fun. I only have to take 1 part, thankfully.

You'll be fine, esp since you have so much practical experience, Besides, you'll feel better for having finished it. And with those nice three letters you have a really good reason to ask for a raise.
