Famous Last Words: A Hectic Week

This week was a difficult one! I had two exams in Tax and Advanced Corporate Finance on the same day and I had to learn a piano duet with a classmate. Because of that and because we are short staffed right now at work and I am filling in, I missed one assignment in this class this week but I am making up for it now with some extra credit. I am also trying to knock out some of next weeks assignments today so that I don't feel so stressed in the future.

Already, I know that it is just going to get busier. I have a team project in Audit to start, more exams on the horizon, and lots of other assignments here and there. I feel like the semester is in full swing and if I get too far behind I won't catch up.

But as for this class, I really liked the reading I did this week. I did Arabian Nights last week and Sinbad this week which is a story inside Arabian Nights, so it kind of felt like a continuation of things I already read. It was a fun story and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I also worked on my the prologue of my project. I was able to add more to it and double the length! I love the way it is coming out and have already started the next story. I also read some of my classmates' projects and I am excited to keep up with them as well as find more.

As for next week, my goal is to be more on top of things and be better with time management. In the business college, there is a lot of resources for learning how to manage time so I have no excuses for being lazy. I especially want to make sure to do all of the assignments and get more sleep!

Heres how I felt this week:

  1. Elyse,

    As for extra credit assignments, I really like the famous last words assignment. I love that we are given the opportunity and pushed to reevaluate the past weeks and plan for the upcoming ones. It seems like you really conquered the week you were writing about and that's so wonderful! Keep up the good work!

Introduction to a future Accountant (sounds fun right?)

My name is Elyse, and I am working toward a double major, Accounting and Finance. Last summer, I went with the business college to Italy to study abroad. While I was there, I took Cost Accounting, which has been my favorite class so far. It may sound boring at first, however, we partnered with a winery to create an extensive financial report, detailing the specifics of how their business has been doing and offering suggestions on how to improve. In a real-world context, Cost Accounting becomes highly enjoyable to someone who likes working with numbers and has an analytical mind. Especially when you are sitting on a mountain, drinking wine, and touring a beautiful vineyard! Next summer, I am going to be interning at Koch Industries up in Wichita. It is only over the summer, however, I hope that it will give me experience I can use in the future, as well as help me to discover exactly what kind of a job I want when I graduate. One thing people like to know about me is my travel exp

Week 2 Story: Mary and the Tiger

Mary and the Tiger It was market day and Mary's two sisters wanted their usual gifts. They demanded their mother go and buy them all the things they wanted, however, Mary knew that her mother was still sick. She worried that her mother wouldn't be able to withstand the long trip to the market, let alone carry the many items all the way back on her own. "Please mother," she begged, "let me come with you or better yet, stay here and rest and I will go alone." Her mother protested but as she struggled to get out of bed she fell back coughing. "Go my child and be safe." Mary left quickly and as she left one of her sister's called out, "and remember, don't come back without the roses, I want three of them!" Mary hurried to the market and spent all days searching for everything on the long list her sisters had given her. When the last of the purchases was complete, she began the journey back, however, it was dark and foggy and
