So I've lurked these forums since I began studying for the exam last August but have never been compelled enough to register/post until now. I've passed BEC, AUD & REG (AUD took a couple tries... NINJA audio helped a bunch) and now I'm working on FAR, my last section, and will be sitting for it for the first time on 07/31.
I'm posting simply because I feel like I've burnt the hell out. Period. I'm controller for a small group of real estate companies, so there's never a shortage of work (50+ hrs per week are the norm, way more during busy season). I commute 1hr each way to/from work, and during this whole business, I do what I can to make sure my wonderful and incredibly supportive live-in girlfriend doesn't feel too neglected.
Anyway, the last couple of weeks I've been consistently tired and sleeping like crazy. It's like I simply can't sleep enough. I slept 12 hours last saturday to sunday, took a 2 hour nap, went to bed super early on Sunday and I still feel like I can crash right now, no problem. It's not usual at all for me to be this low in energy. I've scheduled an amazing vacation for 08/05 (the Monday after the test, first real vacation/time off from work in 2 and 1/2 years), which so far I've successfully used to keep me motivated, but it's just not working anymore. I also don't have time in my current work/study schedule to exercise (which my body and brain sorely need).
Anyway, to sum up, I feel like I'm so close to the finish line, and I'm royally pissed that my body decided to give out now, out of all freaking times... I need help. If you experienced anything like this, how did you get over it? As I'm sure most of you will understand, postponing the test or something that involves anything like that is simply not an option at this point. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated - Thanks
