First Day of Class
If you missed my little post about diversity and accounting recruiting, check it out here. There are a lot of really insightful comments already, and they make very interesting reading.
Today was a good first day. I have great professors and interesting classes. It seems like the Masters of Accounting program is going to include a lot more reading and discussion than the undergraduate Accounting program.
Today I had class, went to the gym (its one of my forms of procrastination, but good for me!) and did some reading for class (there’s still some hours of reading ahead for me tomorrow.)
I tried to fit in an hour of studying for REG, but bedtime came too early, so only got in 45 minutes.
REG So Far
Right now, I have watched the Roger CPA videos for the REG-1 section (individual taxes.) That covered in about 3 hours what I spent a whole semester learning at school!
Before I watched the videos I spent some time reading over the Roger book chapter, which took awhile because it’s a long chapter.
Now I’m going back through Roger’s CPA review book and making note cards. This is VERY time consuming, but I tried to do it the week before the exam for FAR, and it was too late by then. Now when I get through all of the sections, I’ll already have made note cards to review with.
Also, I’m not super comfortable with the topics on the Regulation section of the CPA, so some extra review before I even attempt the homework problems can only help! My CPA exam preparation strategies are always open to changes and improvements!

Well done, you are in Master’s class already. I am just busy applying for a BCOM of accounting this moment. Hope it is not too late for a 27 year old young man to move into the accounting world after having got the BA.
Enjoy your new class.

They’re pretty age neutral in the firms, but you have to be comfortable with someone 5-10 years younger than you bossing you around…
