Well, my grades are in, and they're nothing to write home about. One A, one C, a D, and a couple of Fs. Unfortunately, the Fs are in Business Law and Intermediate Accounting II, both of which I need to sit for the CPA exam. So I'm in the process of requesting a waiver from the Assistant Dean of the STAB (Science, Technology, Accounting & Business) department which will allow me to do those courses over again in the spring with different instructors in different places. I did pass statistics, and (ironically enough, considering I flunked IA2) advanced accounting, and even got an A in marketing.
I don't have much to say about Dear Leader croaking off, except that it's about time. Hopefully things will start to change in that miserable corner of the world - let's face it, when people are volunteering to move away to Siberia and do manual logging, your country sucks - but I'm not going to hold my breath. Blue is totally not my color.
It's been nice having Melody back in town for TDY. We've had a lot to talk about.
Speaking of things to talk about, my old classmate Tish (
the cereal killer, LOL) and her husband Gavin had their annual Open House this past Sunday, and having been invited I figured I ought to go. It was worth it. I managed to avoid the cookies, brownies, cakes and such, while enjoying their son Liam's mastery of the family pulled pork recipe and some decent conversations of a non-political nature.* Tish & Gavin have been married twenty years now, are very happy with each other, and have some awesome kids. Good times.
*I should point out that I'm the token conservative in their circle of friends. :)
