My aim is to finish by 8 AM...

It's 2:26 AM right now... I'm hoping I'll finish by 8 or around 8.. I gotta admit..It's quite difficult. These day 2 cases get the best of me!

But I'm hoping with the right amount of practice and maybe a change in technique, you will hear me saying: I enjoy this! It's definitely interesting! But when there is confounding information (i.e. information that is confusing since it doesn't agree with other parts of the information) it's not so fun :( lol... no worries WHEN this sort of thing happens on the actual test. You need to assume and move on. And before the test you need to ASK questions. Which I will do :) in the near future lol.

Start time: 5:21 AM
End time: 6:00 AM
 taking a ___ break.

I studied a lot during the day but I didn't really keep track of it. All that's left is the auditing portion of the Day 2 case :)... Jeez, so long! But i truly do feel as though I am learning!!!

7:59 PM: I ate 5 fruits about an hour ago, and then had to go to the bathroom (lol TMI) but I swear it detoxified me! Damn <3 love smoothies.

I generally keep a blank piece of paper by my side for anything I have questions for when I'm going through a case. This way I can batch all my questions and then ask them over the cpa discussion board.

I'm going to exercise a bit! Since exercise helps with the brain ;) And then I'll finish off this day 2 :)

After exercising: I realized today that i have a way to get better at writing cases via exercising...

so personally, I'm a breakdancing champ... I have been since i was 14. I have won a few competitions, danced for the toronto blue jays, practiced with the best in the world. IN SUMMARY: I'm passionate about fitness. HOWEVER, this is where success breeds success, I always say: I'm a powermove in the mind, body, and soul. That means I"M NOT just a great athlete, I'm also a great thinker, I'm also a very compassionate person. This very motto of mine, is going to push me to excel. Because if I can excel with my body, I don't see a reason why I shouldn't be able to excel with my mind, IN FACT, I will push myself no matter WHAT! If I'm not done the Day 2 case by tomorrow morning, feel free to label me as someone who cannot excel using their brain. Bare in mind, the brain is technically the body, so if I can improve with my body, I can improve my brain.

So how does this apply to the reader? Take anything you're good at. Maybe you're good reading books. Maybe you're good at video game. Maybe you're great at sewing. I don't know! But ask yourself this: Are you a one trick monkey? Are you an idiot? The answer is most likely: no. So, do you think it's fair to say if you can excel in one area in your life, why shouldn't you be able to excel at studying? I think that's not only fair. It's awesome too!

So, I know I won't like it... I know it'll be tough. But I have something to prove. My mind is strong! Not only my breakdancing muscles. Ttyl... And I'm making the commitment to do something! You should too (assuming anyone reads this thing lol)...

10:53 PM - time to study! :) Let's put our NOGGIN to the test!
roughly 3.5 hours done
