Famous Last Words: FOCUS, Sarah, FOCUS!


Famous Last Words…… I think these have become my favorite assignments. They give me a chance to reflect and review how my progress has gone. I think it’s good for me to do a weekly check in as the semester is so close to being over.

This week, I had an accounting test. I got an 89% on it. Not exactly what I was hoping for, but pretty dang good considering I did not study as much as I had intended to. I feel since dropping the two other classes I had this semester, it’s more manageable to finish out the semester strong. To me, the grades are more important than the graduation date. I’m still on the fence if I’m going to apply for the Master’s program yet, so I need everything on my side for when it’s crunch time.

For this class, I have 106 points left to earn to get an A. I have 122 points available that I can earn. So…in theory I might actually be able to get an A in this class. I know it’s not supposed to be about the grade, but more the learning experience, but I need all the A’s I can get. These next three weeks are going to be busy trying to get everything completed. If I can get everything done for this week and the assignments completed for Tuesday and Wednesday on time, then I hopefully can use the rest of my days off to finish up the class! Then I will just have to study for my final in accounting.

I will say that I’m looking forward to winter break. I have been put on restriction from travelling for a while since we are in the process of building a house, but I was given the green light to book a small trip during the break to reset for next semester. Unfortunately for me, that means I spend time doing something other than homework and I should be focusing on that!

This is a picture of the city center in Brussels, Belgium. I think this is where I have landed on to take a small trip between semesters. The architecture and his here is amazing! And they have great food from what I'm reading.

Weird But Effective Introduction For Sarah

Image
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...

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...

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. ...
