I tend to blog while procrastinating. Right now I'm procrastinating going to bed. Funny that, I love sleep, it's one of my favorite things to do - I know I have a full day tomorrow, I want to get up early and go to the gym, I'm tired - I have every reason to be in bed right now, but instead I'm blogging. Go fig.
Things going on:
Classes. Challenging. Except for OPIM, and I'm still not sure what that stands for. Anyway, the accounting ones are very challenging, lots of work. Finance is....also hard it seems. Right now it's sort of accounting 131 review.
Jobs. The CA thing - going well, except I've been neglecting that pesky issue of programming. My ideas (I do have them) are:
1) SCRUBS night (I know my neighbors will come)
2) Resume workshop - I know I need it.
3) Coffeehouse - lots of work, probably for late in the semester
4) I had another one, I just forgot it.
And I need a good wellness/life skills idea. It was going to be the resume thing, but that's gonna be just for my floor. It'll be at the start of winter, so I'm thinking I'll work with that.
UCTV - looking good. Lots of work ahead.
Winter internship - I officially signed up, even though I don't have to til October 8th...my thoughts are, nothing is OFFICIAL unless/until I get job offers. It puts my current employers in a rough spot. But, I'm sure UConn will survive for a semester without me as a full-time student. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, it's this accounting department program wherein accounting majors take paid internships with public accounting firms for tax season, January to April, while maintaining co-op student status at UConn. You get 6 credits, write a nice long paper at the end of it, make up classes in the summer, and come back for a full senior year. That's going to mess up next summer - I'm pretty sure the classes I'll need will only be at Storrs, which means finding a place to stay up here....or working on campus for housing. I'm ahead of myself.
Fun post, eh? They're like this when I'm busy. Personal life....doesn't seem to be time for one. I have been able to see my friends more than I thought I would, and being away from the Buck is definitely good for me. Anything more than that....I can see it happening, but I also see myself in 'I am woman hear me roar' mode, where I have this fabulously hard-working semester of amazingness, and do it all by myself. Don't get me wrong, I don't think for a second that achievements are weakened when they're shared - I just know that in the past I've leaned on people, and I know that I don't need to lean. I can't think of a better way to spend my time than by investing in myself.
I've been reading Ayn Rand. She's like a teabag - the flavor leaks out til your cup of water is all of a sudden a cup of tea, and you can't quite pin down the time when the transition happened, but you do remember dropping the teabag in, and seeing those little tea clouds emerge.
Bad analogies mean I go to bed.
