fighting for motivation

i'm struggling. it's hard finding motivation to study for an exam when you feel defeated. so far i've spent $5,000 on this exam (although some of it has been reimbursed) and i'm only half way to being able to put those three dang letters after my name. sometimes most of the time i wonder if i even want them. a lot of the time i feel like it was just the next step or it was expected of me...probably because it was for my job. anyway, today marks day one of re-studying for the audit portion of the exam. and between work and distractions (ahem, pinterest and this blog) i got about three solid, good hours of studying in. i'd say that was a successful day.

excited to go home, run (which probably won't happen), cook dinner and have a coffee date with my super hott husband.

note to self: this exam does not define you.
