Famous Last Words: Dropped Classes

Picture taken from my phone
Coffee is my happy place for sure!


This week has been quite an adventure! I dropped one of my classes and I can’t say that I’m sad about it. Taking an evening class from 6:30pm-9:20pm after having two classes right before is rough! I also felt that I wasn’t successfully handling the material for the course. The only thing that stresses me a bit about dropping it is that it will push back my graduation date.

This week I also went through the hiring process at work for a different job. I had three grueling interviews and was stressed the whole dang week! After it was all said and done, I was not selected for the position, but I made it into the top two applicants so I feel pretty good about that. My partner, the one who was chosen for the position, was at least a worthy opponent so I can’t be too upset that I wasn’t selected. And at the end of the day, I still have a job that pays well and I get 6 days off every other week! It could be a lot worse.

I’m hoping that since I have one less class to worry about, I can finish out the semester strong. I have been behind in every single one of my classes and it’s been frustrating. I’m glad this class is a little more flexible in how we earn points and the timeline in which we have to do things. Otherwise, there is no way I’d be able to catch back up! My strategy for the remaining weeks is to do everything on my days off. I can’t seem to get a lot done during my 8 days on. So today and tomorrow I plan to finish up week 11 and get a head start on week 12 and then my next set of 6 days off finish up 13, 14 and 15. Hopefully that will get me caught up on points and back in good standing!

Title: Copenhagen, Denmark Source:  Wikimedia Welcome to the comments section for my portfolio page. I will be adding stories to my portfolio that reflect some of my favorites from the Epics we read. These stories will be versions told in my own words with my own personality. I hope you enjoy the read and feel free to comment, suggest or give feedback on the things you like, don't like or could use improvement. Here is a link to my  GoogleSites . Enjoy the read and have a great semester! P.S. Image information - I originally had set this up to be a storybook. After getting behind, it was best for me to switch. However, I decided to leave the coffee picture as my image. While I won't be talking about food for my storybook, coffee is still an important thing in my life. Every time I sit down to write a story, I ALWAYS have a cup close by. It helps my brain do it's thing. I felt it fitting to leave the image here since it is a part of every story (even if not exp

Weird But Effective Introduction For Sarah

I will admit I'm not very witty when it comes to creating titles for things. So I thought I'd Google ideas to be creative with my phrasing of the word introduction. The first thing that came up was a list of 74 catchy blog titles that will grab people's attention. A list of fill in the blank titles. After trying to add "introduction" to each of the titles, the one I settled on made me giggle the most: Weird But Effective Introduction For Sarah. If you want to see the list for yourself, you can follow this link:  Funny Blog Titles . As the title suggests, my name is Sarah. I'm double majoring in accounting and MIS and I plan to apply for the accelerated master program at the end of the semester and start working towards my masters in MIT. However, I may just settle for one bachelors and be done with it! I have been going to school for the better part of a decade now and have changed majors so many times I've lost track. I am married and have children. M

Week 12 Story: A Single Soul

** I have also put this story on my Portfolio Page, found  here . The night air crackled with the heat. The coolness of the water clashed with the air and an eerie fog danced across the surface of the lake. Despite low visibility near the ground, the night sky shone bright. The moon bathed each surface in a pale-yellow glow. Every star painted the heavens with a brilliance that made her mind at peace, even if for just a brief second. This was her favorite time of the morning, when the earth was at it quietest. Adeline sat atop the banyan tree overlooking the lake. A heavy sigh escaped her lips. As the quiet crept in, her mind began to wander. She struggled to come to terms with her choices. Leaving her home in the city was necessary, but she was so lonely. The kind of lonely that made her chest ache in a way that made the hopelessness seem vast and never ending. She wondered if she would ever become numb to that feeling. She wondered if she would ever find happiness again. Los
