15 hours and counting.

Financial Principles will be a thing of the past; not really, but being graded for it will be.

I do not hate finance, but I def. do not want to be the one creating financial documents. I feel that I will benefit from the increased understanding of how to read them, and pull from the material. But creating them... no thanks.

 I also am dreading the formatting/document attachment/reference portion of this project, simply because its submitted digitally. Grant it, its good practice, and a good skill to perfect, but in a regular class room, I could simply print out the source attach documents I need, and attach them with a staple, or in a folder.... no so much online.

Work is slow... but I can't be working on HW there, even though I am reviewing the company I work for. And still waiting to hear about the ASM app I submitted; although I think they may plunk me in a interim position next month and see how that goes... no stress.... right.....

I am not overall concerned about the step, as I know how to do most of what they do anyways; between moving locations, my inability to sit still and do nothing at work, and my question asking curse/blessing, I have picked up a lot. I also place far more pressure on myself then I think others do, its that feeling of being watched. I know they are watching me, my numbers, my actions, my attitude.... and that is exhausting. I know its been that way since I got here, and maybe that is why I feel so tired and unable to fit exercise into my day.

I have not found the time, the routine, the gap to allow it to fit in, allow me to be social presentable at work afterwards, and get the chapters of reading each week (I think its around 100 pages a week) for school done.... oh and sorta relax, and try and sleep too.

Kristopher has been getting up early, work is keeping him busy, so I have been trying to mirror the wake up time. It helps some, sometimes I get a good chunk of stuff done, but sometimes 5 am is just too early to digest financial information and retain it.

I find myself coming home, and then burying myself in my office/craft room, attempting to focus and get homework done, I do work better in the evening, I am motivated to get to sleep. The faster I get through hw, the faster I can go to bed, or eat dinner, or heck, go to the bathroom.

I know I need to fit running or the gym in. Perhaps the next class will be more casual reading, it is a marketing management class, so it seems less math/tedious process based, something I may be able to read on a bike/stairmaster/treadmill.

I have found a way to satisfy my craving for rec. reading; books on tape, while not actual reading, make my commute time valuable and enriching to a degree. So far 4 books down, and I am afraid the library may run out of interesting 'reads' soon.

The house is coming along, the Mr. has done some lighting work in the kitchen (having an electrician husband is nice). And we have spent far more than one should at Lowe's and Home Depot in the last few months, I can not even imagine what people spend when they buy a 'fixer upper'.

Ok, enough for now, I've got to figure out a good way to attach some tables and graphs... don't be jealous, I know you might be.
