since i've started this blog thingy rather late in life, i'm gonna have to re-create my past. and the first phase of my life that i want to "re-create"(certainly not re-live) are my CA days (the thunder, lightning etc. etc....)
i'm a survivor. i survived all that the ICAI (the institute that runs the "show"), my teachers, instructors, examiners, paper-setters, fee-collectors and fellow "students" threw at me.... i survived!!
most parts are stowed away in some obscure corner of my memory and that place to too dark and dangerous to enter...but i must because some of it was
good:
- i've learnt so much about how to face adversity
- some (most? all?) of my best friends are from my CA days
- i've got more work experience than most of my (non-CA) peers since i started working full-time at 18
- i've learnt how to work 16-17 hours a day - yes, it is a good thing (to learn how to)
- its added the letters to my name that really matter (ACA)
bad:
- i had to survive it!
- i missed all of most of my college years since i started working full-time at 18!
- i had to work 16-17 hours a day - no, its not a good thing (to actually have to do)
ugly:
- 8 years! i started in earnest almost 4 years later than i should have
now, i'm just another simpleton - a struggling, working class tambram (more on that last word later...) struggling to make ends meet. having dedication, loyalty, and blood, sweat and tears as your only real competencies can be tough but i seem to have got away with it so far!
the show must go on...
