Week 8 Progress

I feel pretty good about my progress so far. I only missed one assignment and I have made up for it and then some with extra credit so I still have over a perfect score in the class. My goal is to do all of the assignments from now on and to potentially work on some extra credits if I have time, just in case things get busy and I forget something.

I am pretty happy with how things have been going and with my schedule. I really like reading and I have enjoyed writing stories as well. I am most proud of my project which has been difficult because of the verse which I am not naturally good at. I have been able to work most on this class on the weekends when I have lots of time and that has been working well.

Blogging was difficult at first, I kept forgetting things and I would have to go back and update my posts. I think I have a better handle on it now. Blogger is pretty straightforward and makes it easy. I still am not completely satisfied with my website but I plan on messing around with it when I have more time.

This probably isn't what you think of when you think motivational images but this is a painting by Thomas Moran who is one of my favorite artists. I find it very compelling and somehow inspirational. If you happen to be in Tulsa they have several of his paintings at the Philbrook and my favorite one at the Gilcrease.

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...
