Summer Vacation

Well, as of 3:30 this afternoon I am now on summer vacation; life is good! While life may be good, it is still very busy! Just because school, and tests have stopped, doesn't mean the rest of the world has - although I could settle for a slow down.

Tomorrow I have an interview at a really nice retail store called White House, Black Market, and am looking forward to it. It is my first real job interview, and I think it will be a great experience. After that, I have a meeting with my strategic management group for my summer strat class. We are meeting with a graduate professor who basically teaches how to resesarch in her class. She is going to show us all the methods needed to properly research for our paper/presentation in about 30 minutes.

In between all that, is finishing my packing and cleaning. I've gotten a lot done, but so much left to do. It's amazing how much a person can acquire in such a sort time in one place. Definitely doing some downsizing, and prioritizing in the next 2 days.

Well, that's about all. I better get to bed.
So until next time,
From my heart to yours.

Finals Time

Hello again! I know it's been a rather long time since I have posted, and I have even forgotten my other blog, but sometimes in life it is appropriate to start over, and have a fresh outlook on things. So thank you for joining me once again on life's unending journey.

Since I have last written lots has happened, and determining my major for the final time is one of them. I am now a proud finance/accounting major, and I am loving every minute of it. That being said, this is finals week, and at the beginning of it I had 6 finals standing between summer vacation and I. After acing the first test, I now only have 5. My biggest final I am worried about is in Intermediate Accounting II. It is on Tuesday, and I have just finished typing up my 16 page study guide to study tomorrow. That isn't including working out problems either!! What a busy day tomorrow will be. I am ready for Wednesday, as it brings my last final and a close to my junior year. Of course with finals week also comes stress and lots of eating/snacking. I am ready for this week to be over also so I can get back to eating healthy and exercising daily.

I must say, I have rather enjoyed this year at school. I have not only found a major that suits me, I am finding myself in the midst of everything. I believe after some of the classes I have taken, and re-examining my life I now have a closer relationship with God. I have also enjoyed my roommate this year; she has become like a sister to me and I will miss her greatly over the summer. I have made many new friends, ones  I believe will last a lifetime. I will miss them greatly while they are away for the summer (though some will be back after a month).

This week also brings another exciting event! I get to move in with my aunt, uncle and 2 little cousins! I haven't got to spend much time with them lately, and am looking forward to this opportunity!

It is raining cats and dogs outside as we speak and has been doing so all day. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the rain, but it is definitely not the type of weather that motivates me to study. It is, however, the type of weather that contributed to my two hour nap today after church when I was suppose to be studying. Oh well, a student can't process anything if their mind isn't well rested, right?

Well, it is getting late, and I must get up at a rather early (for a college student) hour in order to keep studying. I hope to write more frequently with this new beginning. I hope you have enjoyed our time together, but until next time.

From my heart to yours,
Aubrey
