2 weeks down and 3 to go

2 weeks down and 3 to go, I have to say I am proud of myself. I just got back my feedback from my professor, and I am passing the class so far with a high B. I think I have a good chance of keeping the B as long as I don’t seriously mess up the next couple of weeks. Do I understand accounting a lot better then I did last week.
I was reading one of the chapters tonight. I was surprised to find a mathematical error but asking the class just in case I doing something wrong. It was figuring out how much interest rate over 3 months a company would have to pay with a annual interest right. Okay, don’t ask me to explain I can’t I took notes but I probably lose everyone reading. Accounting is one of those classes, you’ll be happy when it over! I am glad I am learning the stuff, and I know I will be working extra hard this week the the rest of the weeks, to get good grades on my quizzes. My plan with those is to use them as a study guide for the final exam. I think that’s right where my problem will come having to be in the class room, and being totally quite. I do not concentrate always well with no noise at all. Even when reading I have to play the radio or have the tv on. Grant it when I am reading for entertainment I don’t need anything on. why is it, I can read for enjoyment and remember what I have read but put a text book in front of me for school and my brain becomes jello, and remembers nothing at all. I take a lot of notes, I hope my notebook will be enough for this class. Why do I take notes in hopes it will help me remember everything. Plus might come in useful later. You know I have to be honest, I don’t think I hate accounting, I am actually starting to enjoy the class since I am starting to learn.
I will be glad when I complete this class, it’s hard but at the same time I get to move to the next class and be one step closer to graduating, never now maybe I will get a job at a place like bpm. Not sure what will happen with me after I get my degree but I know employers will be more interested in me.
I am glad that taking over a year off of school hasn’t slowed me down. I still do homework consistently, not sure what happened with Hebrew homework, because I just stopped doing it, maybe it because I had to start that over 3 times. I don’t think trying to relearn the same parts is wise for me.

Cabin fever

I think I have cabin fever. I haven’t been able to do much in the way of exercising and to be honest it’s a little bothersome. I am normally a active person almost to the point of being hyper. Some will say I am hyper. It’s been kind of a challenge walking and changing direction when I need to. It’s amazing how long it takes to turn around in it. I really miss swimming and was hoping to get in a lot of that this summer, but don’t look like it will happen.
The furthest I have walked is 2 blocks, normally when I walk it’s a few miles, so I am about to claim the walls. Clean the house is a task in it’s self. I can’t carry anything heavy and it’s harder to balance then normal for me. I don’t know why it would be. My foot feels like I have a weight on it. This boot is heavy, and large. Otis has taken a interest in the boot, when I am not using it.
Before I fracture my ankle along with tearing my tendon and bursting the ligaments, I had gotten sexy swimwear. I have only used it once since I got it. Now that’s frustrating. Hopefully next summer I will be in a couple sizes smaller.

I wish my cat could talk

Otis has been very vocal lately. I will have to admit that I haven’t been exactly paying much attention to him the last week. I have kind of got in a rut of just doing homework and not much more. I used to play with Otis every day for a little while, but his cat toys been laying on the floor in different places whenever I look for it. I think he bored. Last night he sleep right above my feet on the coach, I been their for a while, at least he didn’t pick my ankle to lay on.
Otis is a sweet cat, but boy he’s been talking a lot, and getting into things. I had a plastic cover thing for my PSP in my top drawer of my desk. I’d like to know how he opened it and got that out, caught him chewing on it with the door open. My mouse for my computer was done but at least it didn’t move the page I was on in my book. I wish Otis had some closed captioning behind his meow, maybe if I heard him say. Play with me, I bored, I would stop reading and doing homework.
Otis is a old cat, but everyone always comments on his size never his age, he don’t look to old and acts still like a kitty sometimes. Have you ever notices the weird ways they lay this morning I would have loved to get a picture of him. He was laying on his paws, with his hind legs on both sides of the coach.

Give me a break

I am so frustrated with my job. I am not really frustrated with the hours at work although last week I got 20 hours and this week I got 30 hours, but that because I was just being slow today. I am the type of person who believes that certain things in life should be keep private! I don’t believe in forcing my religion on people but I don’t have a problem with people sharing or me sharing with them. I get a long with just about everyone there. Not a problem. I have decided while working there I would just take Fridays off while in College, but once I can find a better job I will probably work my 40 hours. I don’t know, I sure haven’t work many hours and most my free time is spent on homework.
I was at my work station today, doing my job. I can’t walk, stand, or carry more then 5 pounds. So I am lucky my supervisor is keeping me there right now, since a good portion of the work requires standing and a even better portion requires being able to carry at least 35 pounds from one place to the next. I don’t have a problem with this neither when I am healthy, and everyone has been helping get me the things I need.
So what am I frustrated with, I feel there is sexual harassment there. I don’t feel anyone but me see anything wrong with it, because everyone jokes about it but me, and well I feel uncomfortable. Telling them to not do it, I get responses of turn up your music. Why do I need to hear about people sex life married or single, why must I know how many times in someone marriage they been with their wife or have to hear that question being asked of that person. I just think stuff in the bedroom between a man and woman aught to stay there! Within the last couple of months I said something like, it smells like permanent marker. The guy who works near us said it was his stuff, and I said thanks for sharing. Then he told me I should see his underwear. I wasn’t sure how to respond other then no thank you but I felt annoyed by it and turned up my radio as loud as I could with out hurting my ears because they just kept carrying on.
I don’t know if I am right in feeling annoyed by some of their discussion, and honestly I would talk to my company who placed me, but I don’t want to cause trouble or end up being with out a job. I don’t have a problem with the people I work with other then some of the topics of discussion but when some of the managers speak or act the same way it doesn’t do any good to say anything because then I just look like the squicky wheel.
I don’t mind hearing about going out with people, having fun, but there are just some subjects that aren’t meant to be asked about. It’s not like asking if they haveauto insurance.

Oh my!

I started back to school last week. Oh my, I am almost overwhelmed with homework. I am taking the flex net class from the UOP here in Minneapolis. I do have to say I am proud of myself, I passed my first quiz with flying colors. I am taking accounting 300 right now. I like my professor on both a academic and personal level. We have a lot in common by her personal sharing at our first night of class.
I have a very mild form of dyslexia, so normally I let professors know about it. I don’t need any special attention since I have learned how to deal with it. My first year back to college at the UOP my husband tutored me in English, and taught me alot, and what he taught me has actually stuck for the most. I can find my errors most of the time by myself unless we are talking about the sound a like words. I get those confused or mixed up. I wish Microsoft Word would have a feature for those of us with this problem, that it would pick up on wrong words even though it is spelled correctly.
No one better tell me my program isn’t valid or real or they might get to see all the homework I do in the week, along with the online participation. I get home from work at around 3ish, and then go straight to homework, most of the time I am not out of the office until about 6 to 7pm. Hubby doesn’t care if dinner later but I do.
I know one thing I will never be an accountant, because i can never remember to balance transfer from one thing to the next. Try getting a balance sheet to flow correctly when you keep forgetting to subtract what been spent for supplies. I still don’t get how buying a property that is owed on is still a asset, or even how it gives value to the assets, because it clearly not really the company since the lender gets to take it if payments get defaulted. Well I know what expected so I will continue doing what I know.
I am proud of myself for how well I did on the quiz, now hopefully I can improve more on my responses to Questions and homework assignments. I think this is the first class I have spent so much time on discussion questions.

Okay I know you but where from

Ever run into someone, call them by name just about right away before anyone said their name. Okay I know you but from where. First question was which college did you go to, well I didn’t go to those places but I might have substituted at the day cares there. I highly doubt that where I knew you from.
Next question is where do you work, or did you work. Shoot I don’t know I could have worked with him back at Gopher state but I doubted that too.. Maybe a temp assignment goodness knows I have done one to many of those assignments. Well it been a long time, we finally figured out we know each other from another church. One we had both lift it. I knew it wouldn’t be from any other meeting places he had.. We finally figured it out. I couldn’t help but feel a little lost. Normally I have a very good memory but for some reason I just don’t get people faces in my memory. I am surprise I don’t forget what my husband looks like after a couple of hours. I use people voices to tell me who they are, it’s funny I will know a person by voice before connecting their face.
I will say I am fairly proud of him, and some of his accomplishments and I hope he continues on the path his found his self on. Today was a very good day, I got to see the kids who where my flower girls in my wedding. The kids have grown so much, but no acne yet. I sure have missed them. They are good little kids, but the last couple of years haven’t been easy. They asked if they could come to church every week and we where okay with that. Now I will just have to have my van every week.
