Famous Last Words: A hectic Easter Weekend

In this class this week, I read the King Arthur unit. I know the stories like I am sure most people do. I have seen the Disney version and the BBC "Merlin" TV show. But I haven't actually read that many of the stories themselves. I found them very interesting, especially since I didn't realize how Christian and even Catholic they where. There was an interesting note in the unit about how the Holy Graal is a mixture of Christian and heathen tradition that has gotten mixed together.

As a Catholic, this week was a busy one. The Masses during Easter week are the longest of the year. The service on Good Friday was over two hours and the Easter Vigil was over three hours long! They are time-consuming, especially since the Church is an hour away from me but it was worth the drive. I think these are also the most beautiful services during the year as well.

Because of the amount of time I spent in the car and at Church, I had to do some finishing up this morning for my assignments. For my Project, I had to revise it by shortening the story I wrote and splitting it into two parts. I will publish the last portion later this week. I was really happy with the way it turned out and hopefully it is easier to read now that it is shorter.

This seems to be the time for projects. Beyond the one in the class, I have one in my Audit class due tomorrow, one in my Advanced Corporate Finance due Thursday and one in Tax due next week! I can tell you, this one is the most fun of all of them.

As the semester draws to a close, I am mainly focusing on classes. I have made plans for things to do after my finals but until then, I am just going to try to finish strong!

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...
