Reflections......
I am sitting here watching "Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars" sorta. I was mainly reflecting on what has been going on in my life during the last year. What I have accomplished, what I haven't accomplished yet, and what plans I need to make for the future.
I have a journal, pencil and paper, that I keep a written account of my goals for the next one, two, and five years. These are mainly professional goals, but there are a few personal goals, and some that are both.
One of the biggest goals that I have achieved that fall into the "both" category is completing my degree in Accounting. {The diploma is framed and hanging in my office. ;)} Along with this, I have taken the GMAT, and started in grad school. Also in this line of goals are some that I am lagging behind in. I need to take parts 2,3,&4 of the CMA exam and the CFM exam. I had planned to take them this next year, but I didn't. I have to take these test before Dec. of 2007, so they will become my priority in the next year.
I am not where I want to be financially at this time in my life. This will also be a priority this next year. It should be helped by me being single, again....
Which brings up one of the things that I am having trouble with. I still haven't gotten over my break up with J. I don't know if it is the time of the year, or if I just really had it that bad for her. I think it is the time of the year, the holidays, and being alone at this time. Whatever it is, I am sure I will get over her sooner or later. If nothing else, I will soon be too busy to be lonely, or think of her.
I am still pondering the question of weather or not to take a class next semester. Looking at the test I need to be taking in 2007, I am leaning toward not, and using the time to study. Each test will cost $115, and the CPA exam, which I am looking at taking next summer, will cost around $800. So there will be quite a bit of financial strain paying for them all. However, once these test are passed, I will be set professionally, and can concentrate on finishing my Masters degree. As I write this, it seems to me that taking a semester off to take these test would probably be the best course of action. Hummmm.........
One of the things I get to look forward to in 2007, very soon in '07, is turning 40. It's not like I am going to go mid-life crisis or anything, but it does seem to be a turning point in a lot of peoples life's. It seems like people gage you by what you have done by this age. I guess it is a good thing that I finished by BA degree before turning 40. ;)
Whatever happens, whatever I achieve, wherever I go, this coming year should be a special year!
There are other goals that I have for the coming year, but I have to keep some things to myself. ;)
Take care everybody!
