Taking Charge of My Destiny

So I decided to give the CBA office a call yesterday and that solved all my problems. As I was going out for my walk, one of the office workers there returned my call and told me that the server for the site was fixed so I should be able to apply for the CPA exam now. I thanked them, hung up, and hurried home so I could set things up. After filling out all the information and such, I submitted the online portion, ordered my transcripts online to be sent to the CBA office, and then was able to print out the remittance slip today at my great uncle's place (plus got envelope + stamps) so I can send everything on Monday (or I guess I can just put it in the drop box tomorrow when I get home).

Now... after all that's finished, I just need to get through the first week of work alright, and buy study materials for the exam =_= I'd like to do the financial portion first, but if the only items I can find are in regulation or audit, I'll just pick one of the two to start with =_=; *sigh* Maybe regulation would be fun... ... (or not)...

Anyway... other than CPA or accounting-related stuff...

I went to hang out with my great aunt and uncle today and they took me shopping for my room. It was great to be able to get out of the house! I'm having some issues with where I'm living at the moment 'cause on the exterior, I'm getting really well and along with my housemate, but beneath that little business smile I have on my face, I'm kinda steaming at some things that I have to go through.

I'll have to save the complaints for another day, but all I can say that I'm getting a good education on how to get along with people you may not be too fond of, but have to deal with it all anyway. I'm kind of getting to understand myself better as well, like what type of responsible, tidy, clean (and possibly neurotic) being that I am and why I should love myself more 'cause I'm a good -- and I mean, a VERY good (as in painfully prudent) -- person.

I love CLEAN. Shoes off, clean walls, no cobwebs, no specks of dust, no bugs of any kind (living or dead), and things are all properly put away. I really don't like people who talk arrogantly, who walk around houses in shoes, have offices full of debris and junk that's accumulated over the span of a decade, and is ultra sensitive to things you say so that it becomes difficult to make conversation with them 'cause they have such intense reactions. And no, one cannot say "Well, maybe you said it wrong," 'cause I KNOW when I am untactful or undiplomatic 'cause I am VERY good with the things I say around certain people.

I want to treat this person as a friend and talk in close terms with them, but if turning casual and losing that edge of diplomacy sets her off, then fie! I will just be so painfully tactful that it's like working in a restaurant all over again. I am GOOD at catering to others at the expense of my wellbeing and sanity, and I am PATIENT when it comes to taking abuse from customers or those who are senior to my age. All I have to do is wait until the time is right and then leave. I don't want to waste my energy on someone who is only fond of talking and not much listening. I also don't want to fight or list out faults 'cause that's just childish. I'm taking it like a grown adult and I'm going to walk away when the time is right. So yes, no further details other than saying that I am very annoyed with some things, but I will deal with it accordingly.

Anyway... enough of ranting. I'm off to do some reading and finish writing a couple message replies before it's off to bed I go.
