jumbled thoughts and misleading hopes  Despite my area having gone to recycling in one bin (paper, cans, plastic, everything) I still habitually separate things out as I dispose of them, still have different boxes to toss things into until I take them out. I guess it's a good thing if that's what it takes to get more people to pay attention, but sad. No major events of late. Had a really busy weekend (counting Fri and Mon as weekend), literally in a different town for most of each day. Bleh. Time marches on. Current mood:  blank.
Woke up really early this morning for some reason. Somewhere in between the "I'm wide awake now" and "oh god why I am I awake now" so went ahead and got up. Have this odd ache in my back like I did a lot of lifting yesterday, except that I didn't. Was a mediocre day, not a lot accomplished but I identified a job to apply for and straightened out plans for the rest of the week. Sunburn has peaked in sensitivity. Was outside a bit too long Sunday without sunscreen, now my forehead is decidedly the wrong color. Was worth it mind you, attended outdoor concert of the Rhinos and that's worth some discomfort later (although preferable without). Don't forget the sunscreen, trust me about the sunscreen... Ran into someone I don't speak to very often anymore, was surprised again by being informed that people talk about me when I'm not around. For some reason that always comes as unexpected. Well, back to finding my place in the world. Current music: Wierd Al. Let's see, dignified? Nah. IdiditIdiditIdidit! Perfect 4.0 GPA for a whole year. While it isn't a new place in the world or an income, it's at least something to point at. I officially have a Certificate of Accountancy, now what? Hmm... One of my classes last term involved resume and cover letter writing that at least makes it fresher in mind. Now to find someone who needs a bookkeeper. Current mood:  accomplished.
Ugh. I habe dis tibe of year. Cand breave. Podden count ib trying to kill be. Beautiful day, too bad I spent all of it inside working on school stuff. Not that I'm terribly overloaded, just still not as efficient as I could be. Getting down to the line. The question is no longer, if or when, simply how high. Was informed that a 3.75 GPA is required to earn highest honors along with my certificate. Going into this term I have a 4.0 and am confident of at least one A, probably more. Two weeks and it's time to start figuring out what comes next. *knock on wood* "Don't bobble the ball now..." Current mood:  working.Current music: Enya. Lucked out. For a variety of reasons I've been putting off an assignment for one of my classes. We're supposed to have been doing one part each week for six weeks but every time I go to get started something comes up and it gets put off. With it due tomorrow I was getting kind of worried about how complex this was going to be. Fortunately while there a lot of parts to do none of them were terribly difficult and I managed to pound it out in under three hours. Whew! Puts me at back on track for the term. Several more things to do over the rest of this week but should be fine. Current mood:  relieved.Current music: Queen. ...keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'... Having a real problem lately. Tasks that are perfectly reasonable for the amount of time I have to do them are just not getting done. I'm sure this is an issue because often when I look at how much active effort a task took to complete, it's pretty close to my estimate, just later than it could have been. The real problem rears it's head when a task is particularly unpleasant or difficult but has the closest deadline. When I take a break my concentration is shot because I'm not working on what I "should be" so nothing of any real consequence gets done. End result is that a lack of focus has me constantly behind. Current mood:  frustrated.
Over ten years living here and they are just getting around to putting numbers on the apartment doors. They're fairly nice actually. Faux marble plates that are easy to read. Current mood: working.
Spent a nice weekend visiting with family. Spent Saturday very much out of character, strutting around a Renaissance Faire being admired. Mostly the admiration was for the armor I was wearing which was constructed by my brother, but it was still fun to explain to people how it's made and they were impressed enough that I knew the person who did it. And I got to wear my sword in public. School continues apace. I always like to get a little bit ahead in the work but every time I finish something, enough time has passed that the next assignment is looming. At least I'm keeping up and only have the brief moments of terror (completing the 5 minute exams). Interesting to maintain the balance of talking. I don't like silence when a question has been put to the class, but I don't want to always be the one speaking. Seems like most of my classes there are very few people who speak up all that often. Have gradually become aware that I'm not the only one who scheduled myself into a tight spot. Monday and Wednesday I have all of 10 min for lunch, 12:50-1:00, and have started recognizing more and more students in both classes. Current mood: working.
Well since someone apparently cares enough to notice that I haven't posted in a long time guess I can make an effort in return. Third term back in college. Breezed through some classes, struggled with others. This term has a higher proportion of struggle, but keeping up so far. I'm studying to be an accountant. Bookkeeper more precisely, while I've gotten a lot of encouragement to pursue the CPA exam... well one thing at a time. Much to my father's justified amusement, I've found the core concepts very simple. Just a matter of knowing that the numbers have to add up and keeping in mind the two basic starting points that everything relates to. Debit and Credit, left and right. Have to be careful of overconfidence more than anything else when working out specific cases. Mostly because I'm sure I'll eventually run across something sufficiently complex to confuse me. The real world rarely lines up neatly into the categories we try to set it in. Plenty of other things are much harder though. Economics was a nightmare. I'm not sure how I got out of that with an 'A' unless it's because most of the rest of the class had an even harder time than I did. Bit of irony this term: I'm taking a class in Human Relations, completely online. Started reading KevinandKell again. Absolutely brilliant online comic. A little disturbing at times, but brilliant. Well that's enough for now. Current music: Elton John. |
