    At work, feeling all relaxed, as it's just work.... Wondering what part of study to tackle tonight and if I should maybe print it off to see how it goes on a written base, instead of computer base. Wondering when my colleague is going to stop stressing about month end again, as we got to close the ledger today and wondering how long it will take for our assistant accountant to be rude to someone, as she is doesn't understand something and is horribly stressed with month end as well, which usually results in her being rude to someone and then beg for a cigarette so she can complain about that person...

    Maybe I should start doing something?

    Study wise: Getting there, feel a bit more relaxed about getting there, and two weeks should be enough to get me where I want to be. I wonder how long the feeling lasts this time, before I start stressing again...

    Oh dear! I'll consider myself strangled now. :lol:

    Well, if it's any help. Usually not feeling stressed about that much to do for my exam lasts about a day, before I get stressed or worried again.

    However it might also be because instead of studying for DFS yesterday evening, I made the changes to my project, which means it hopefully is now ready to get signed off. Which left me with a very positive feeling!

    This morning all I had time for is reading the standards quickly and that's about it, so tonight I'll be picking up the exams again, feel frustrated with myself and all the other usual feelings.

    Oh that's alright then, we can't have you feeling relaxed and not the rest of us! lol

    I've just been out for lunch and it's absolutely glorious out there, had a lovely roast ham salad, and bought a bracelet while I was there.

    Right back to the real world, June 2007 paper

    Lol, thanks, that's a relief.

    I'm having a bad headache and am considering taking the rest of the evening off for less intensive stuff, like no study. But I kind of feel like I should study as well...

    Think you should get rid of that headache before starting any studying.

    See we're back in AAT time again..... lol

    I think you are right, going to leave it for a bit and see if it gets better after dinner. If not, I'll give myself tonight off and will just have to make up for it tomorrow evening or Saturday.

    How is your evening going? Still feeling good after your succesful attempt?

    Yeah it's not going too bad thanks, when I've checked my answers for variances, and they're wrong, at least I can get to the same figure as the model answer now using my method.

    The trick is to understand why its being done if you get my drift, I've had a couple of lightbulb moments but I'm hoping for a lot more then it's not just a case of trying to remember the formulae for all the variances.

    Studying the whole day has been great, with breaks of course, its equivalent to a weeks worth of evening studying. Don't know about you but these last 2 weeks I've been nearly falling asleep after 1.5 to 2 hours after work each day. I really don't know how A-Vic does it she never stops, or maybe cos she's a few years younger than me lol

    Hope your headache goes quickly.

    I took a few days off to study last week and it really helped me.

    Just wish I could take another day off before my exams, but unfortunately the purchase ledger supervisor is on holiday next week so I need to cover for him. The week after (the exam week) our income controller is on holiday, so I need to cover for her. So all my revision needs to be done in the weekend and evenings. (Oh and the early mornings, if I get up in time)

    I'm just doing DFS, so it's just one exam luckily. Are you doing MAC or PEV/ PCR? Sorry, not to be ignorant, just don't remember.

    I'm doing MAC, have you done it or did you do the NVQ route?

    I'm doing the NVQ route, so I just did PEV and PCR, which I think is about the same, but spread out into two exams?

    I did those two last December, which was quite nice to do straight after ECR.

    Is it just MAC? Well, MAC isn't really "just" or are you also taking tax exams?
