I just gone through all of A1-A6 and I have absolutely retained nothing and my exam is June 12. how did y’all manage to pass the audit section? I’m currently reviewing everything again and trying to work through questions.
bride/groom did not specifically state dress code (all they said was semi formal). but idk how I feel about wearing black to a wedding.
Hiii everyone, this is my second Reddit post lol. apologies if this is very long. and I know I probably sound dramatic in this post.
Context – I'm (21F) living at home (aka my parents' place) for the time being, since I just graduated from my bachelors this past December and I have a break until this June when my internship starts. For the time being, I'm studying for my CPA exams and have been walking to the local library everyday for the past few months. this is a ~35 min walk to the library from my house, and I mainly walk because I like to get my steps in and I don't have my own car (sure, I can use my parents' car, but my dad uses it a lot to get to work). To get to the library on foot, I have to go through the park to get to the library. there is another route, but that one's kinda longer and I don't wanna take the extra steps to get to the library since I have a heavy backpack. and I needed to study at a nice library (rather than at home, a cafe, etc.) because I get distracted very easily.
Last month, a guy (26M) – I'll call him Kyle – sat beside me in the library and did his own thing. He was doing some drawings, and when the library was closing, he gave me a drawing of an animal in the style of a Disney cartoon. I thought it was a nice gesture, but didn't think much of it. a couple weeks later, he stopped me in the park that was by the library to ask me out. I refused to give him my number because I had this instinct that there was something wrong about him, so gave him my Instagram instead (which was still dumb on my part but I wanted to go back home asap so I wasn't thinking much). He messaged me, and I immediately asked for his age to use as an excuse to reject him (even if he's close in age). I rejected him, saying he was too old, and he said that the age gap isn't even that big. I again told him that I didn't like the age gap, but he seemed to not care about my rejection and kept sending me messages (a lot were pictures he took of what he was doing at the moment). Kyle even sent a screenshot to me of his texts with his dad, where Kyle sent a picture of me that was on my instagram and said something along the lines of "I've been meeting girls, but this one's my favourite". From what I can see as well, he has saved that very picture of me, the one that he sent to his dad.
Now it was last weekend, and I saw Kyle at the parking lot of the park doing whatever, and I literally made eye contact with him. He was full on staring at me like he was plotting something, but I kept moving. He posted a reel at one point saying that he hate cops and he has gone to jail over a wooden gun. At another point, I saw him at the park's parking lot again and he was talking to a cop. I blocked him on instagram this past sunday (which I didn't know why I didn't do earlier).
This past monday, I forgot my charger and had only found out when I was almost at the library, so I couldn't even do any studying. I went back home, and my dad didn't end up using the car that day and he just drove me to the local police dept, and I let them know that Kyle was around. they said that MULTIPLE people have reported him and that they've banned him from the park's parking lot, but they couldn't do anything else since he hasn't done anything criminal. yesterday (Wednesday), I kinda chilled at the farmer's market that was right outside the library, and did my own thing. I was about to leave, but needed to go to the library to use the washroom. on the way to the library, I walked past Kyle, not realising it was him until I looked back. He waved, but I ignored him. I used the washroom, took a different route to avoid the farmer's market/library area to go through the park, to get back home. When I was avoiding the farmer's market, he was giving the same stare that looked like he was planning to kill me or whatever (similar to a scowl, but idk how to describe it). I got to the park thinking I was safe, but I reached the end of the park when I realised he was following me from the other side of the street. he had followed me for a near kilometre, and I literally called my mom to pick me up and dialled 911. my mom picked me up (it was around 5:30pm so I knew the car was home), and the police just documented what happened over the phone but didn't do anything.
what do I do? I don't want to not go to the library since I really do get distracted easily when I'm studying and I need a quiet place to dedicate just for studying, but going to the library is impossible without still seeing Kyle around. I can hitch a ride from my dad to go elsewhere to study, but he leaves home very early, and idk if I can wake up early enough everyday to keep studying at a place that isn't at my local library. for now I'm studying at home as best as I can, but I would very much prefer to study at a library or something. and I know Kyle isn't doing "anything criminal" or whatever, but I'm genuinely scared of this guy and I literally bawled my eyes out yesterday (it's probably because I'm dramatic).
edit – thanks guysss will be looking into either FaceTiming a friend to study or possibly waking up early and hitching a ride from my dad to study elsewhere. it was my mom's idea (after going to the police dept this past monday) to not let some weirdo get in the way of my studying and still go back to the library, since the library is a public space and he's not gonna do anything in public. until he followed me yesterday on the way home. but will def not go back to the local library for the time being!
