Wednesday Thoughts

Hello, helo, hello everyone. I have a few minutes to write some thoughts down so I thought I would. :) I miss  my blogging but the semester just keeps piling more work on top of me and my weekends seem to be so filled with things (not the least of which includes some good ol' fashioned being lazy) that I never really get around to it. I can't believe that its been almost a week again.. I need to write this wrong. So run my mouth I will, at least for a few more minutes :)

#1- Zach brought my an iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts earlier and it is so amazing. (I am paying him back I insist) But as I was walking to school this morning I needed one. It's just an iced coffee kind of day. So he ssaid he'd bring me one, and he did, and he is fabulous :).

#2- Yesterday my glasses came in so I went to pick them up and it's seriously amazing to me how much I wasn't seeing. These only get my vision up to 20/70 distance and 20/40 up close (which is prety good for the upclose thing) so I'm just fascinated that if this is what I can see at 20/70 what are people with 20/20 or 20/15 seeing??? I mean seriously... everything is so much more textured than I realized. :P

#3- This coming Saturday I am helping my sister move in Richmond with my mom, dad, and Zach. It's going to be a lonnnnng day. Like I said- this is why I don't get around to blogging as much anymore!

#4- My feet hurt so bad right now. I'm not sure why- I think my running shoes are on their last leg. Thankfully the Easter Bunny promised me he'd look into getting me some new ones. :) Yay!

#5- Shadowing last Friday was actually a lot of fun. I really liked the people I met, and I even kind of have an accounting twin over there. Well- not that we both do accounting the same way- but with life style stuff.l For example- both of us considered parellel parking a highly over rated skill and think that it's unnecessary to learn, and that if we ever have to do it, we'll just get someone to park our cars for us. Additionally- we both consider meals, "meals" only when they involve meat. (Excluding pizza, but it's MORE of a meal when meat is involved).

#6- The accounting test on Monday could have gone better. It could have gone worse, but I feel like I just made some mistakes that were stupid. I had a dream last night that I got a 71% on it. And yeah that's not AWFUL... but I'd really hope I do better than that because I studied essentially all of my spring break.

#7- I took the most ridiculous short answer test yesterday in my Accounting Information Systems class. It was seriously 10 shrot answers, and one of the questions I didn't even know what it was ASKING me. I've never felt like I was BSing so much on a test, and I've never NOT known what a question wanted. So basically I just wrote him a note below the problem explaining that I wasn't really sure what he wanted from us, and that I apologized because I'm always prepared for tests, but I really just have no idea what he wanted me to do for this question, and I left him all the information I did know on the subject matter (payroll taxes).

#8- I have a coral cami and a light yellow sweater on and flip flops today. It's sprinnnnng.

#9- I was just a few minutes ago doing some leisurely wikipedia reading on Revlon and I really find the company very interesting. It was created during the Gread Depression, and I always find the companies that survive the Great Depression interesting, but there were just so many other little things. I think the traditional makeup companies (not the new ones) are very interesting to learn about from a business stand point. Why? Becuase they really were pioneers at their time of creation, and creating a cosmetics company in the 1930's where the primary market was women (who had only JUST gotten the right to vote) fascinates me. I think it was the start of something pretty interesting in the world. As dumb as it sounds I'm really interested in doing more lesiurely research on cosmetic companies

#10- I got my hair cut over spring break and I'm just still not okay with it. I think it either needs more dimension (aka better cut layers) or to be shorter. It just feels puffy right now. I don't know- maybe that's weird. I just normally find hair cuts satisfying and this one isn't doing the job.

Monday Thoughts

#1- I know, I know, I know, it's been nearly a week since I've written a blog. Let me explain... last week I was EXHAUSTED between school, and trying to get ready for the 10 miler that I just didn't have it in me. I had group meeting after group meeting, I was trying to hit the gym, I was just POOPED! Sorry I didn't blog... :) I'm sure I was missed.

#2- Wootie-woo-woo! I finished my first ever 10 Miler!!! And I placed in my age bracket. I ran in an hour and 37 miles.. which works out to having under 10 minute miles the whole time. It's nothing super spectacular but it's still pretty good for my first one! I wasn't even doing the race to 'race' I really just wanted to finish in the under 2 hours time bracket.. but I finished 3rd in the Females 20-24 age category! Now before you get all WOW, THAT'S AWESOME! on me,... I have to confess.. they only published the results in the paper, and I'm not exactly sure how many people were IN my age bracket... but I'm gonna hope for at least 4 so I feel like I actually 'won' and didn't default into a winning spae. Either way it was awesome. I might do a seperate blog later all about the event.... because I don't want to ramble on too much about it here!

#3- Speaking of running 10 miles twice in less than 1 week... I have a painful little blister on my foot.... Easter Bunny might be bringing me some new running shoes for Easter. (Probably becuase the Easter Bunny knows I'm too cheap to be responsible and buy them for myself!)

#4- Spring break will officially be here in less than 96 hours. Not as if I'm counting....

#5- I've decided that I am only taking my intermediate class to pass it. I work hard, I really do but I think I am putting undue stress on myself in aiming to get an A or B in the class. I still plan on working hard, but aiming for an A and wanting to cry every time I do badly on a quiz, or don't get a concept is really just too much 'extra' stress. I'm sure the people who I'm interning with this summer would prefer I do excellent in it.. but I've done great in every other accounting class... and my neighbor whose an accountant for Perdue Farms got a C in Intermediate and has been doing quite fine for himself for years. So I think I'm just letting bygones be bygones and aiming just to get through the class at this point.

#6- I painted my nails "Blue me Away" by Sally Hansen last night and they are literally robins eggs blue. It's so not me... but I think they're kind of fun. I don't have any presentations this week, so I think I can get away with it. :) Why not have fun while I can, eh?

#7 I'm having trouble accumulating a 'full load' of classes next semester... I can only seem to find classes for 12 credits becasue all my classes are offered at night.. and they're all on top of each other. I might have to see if I can take Auditing... even though I really wanted to wait on that.

#8- Secret Life is on tonight- I'm readyyy!

#9- Our grades for my Ops. Management test should go up today... I hope they do. I really want to know how I did. Speaking of "how I did" I got my management debate grade back from Friday. We got a 93 HOLLA!

#10 I really want a thick juicy steak. Like a nice one. With potatoes and brocoli. And a diet pepsi. Mmm. Oh man. That'd be heaven!
