Faster than a speeding bullet...

Wow! It is already February. I thought that last year sped by me, but this year is already moving even faster. I love the fast pace, but I also would like to catch a breath of air. However, I am grateful that I survived Managerial Accounting. I hope to never take another accounting class. Sorry all you accountant type people! I don't like it at all and I HAVE tried it. (However, I love my Finance and Operations class. They both use accounting principles. Knowing about income statements and balance sheets does pay off, I admit.)
My life pretty much revolves around school. Even when I got my undergrad, my life didn't revolve around school so much. Talk about learning by immersion! I realized that it has taken over my life this week. (I was warned that it would take it over for two years.) The realization was driven home by five things.
1. I'm falling asleep over my homework (face planted) at night and dream about it.
2. My roommates were surprised to see me home at all but not surprised to see me with my laptop out and doing homework.
3. I arrange my life schedule around what time I need to spend on homework individually and in groups, be in class, or organize things for the student committee.
4. I relate everything to something I learned at school...including my spiritual and social life.
5. My conversations all go back to something about school. The irony is as I was writing this one of the guys I work with came by and asked me how school is going.

How am I doing? My operational system runs on refined raw materials and the balance sheet of life is well...balanced. The NPV of this is that I will not have to do this all again in the future! What am I going to do next? Go to Disneyland!! I'm serious. ;-)
