I'm getting a new laptop!!!
... Oh wait, I guess I need to explain why first--I passed my last two tests!!! I just got my scores tonight, which means I'm officially done with the CPA exams and on the first try, too! Now there's just the 'small' matter of getting that year of experience to get my actual certification, but the hard part is over for the meantime. For those curious, my scores were (75 is passing):
BEC - 82
FAR - 91
AUD - 91
REG - 81
And per the subject line, as my present to myself, I'm going to get a new laptop in the next month or so. My current one is over 4yrs old, it's starting to slow down a bit, and the keys are getting harder to read, but more importantly, it's too full of crap. I'm not anxious to move all of my information, thus the delay, but it's pretty much inevitable.
Another reason I'm waiting for the next laptop--I want to finish the OWS chapter I've been working on. I have over 11,000 words written and have about 5,000 left. With the weight of the exams off my shoulders, hopefully I'll get this sucker done and sent off to the betas by next weekend (and let's hope they don't completely tear it apart ^^;).
That said, I want to give a huge thank you to everyone for being so supportive and patient all this time! I know how painful it is when an author goes on hiatus (especially with how many fanfic authors tend to disappear once declaring that hiatus), and I really appreciate the words of encouragement from everyone. It has meant more than you can possibly understand. *hugs*
