Alright, so summer is coming to an end and I'm still without a real world job. Studying for the CPA exam is getting old. I still haven't heard back from the company to set up a date to take it so I'm starting to feel like all of this studying is for nothing. I just took a couple weeks vacation from reading and now it's hard to convince myself to ( Read more... )

I'M DONE, I'M DONE, I'M DONE!!!!! No more class, no more exams, no more profs. Can't believe it's over so fast. Hard to beleive it's been five years since I did this whole graduation thing. Saturday makes it official and then I get to move back home..... a little sad about it, but I'll find a job soon enough. It's strange to think that this ( Read more... )

I'm having the most frustrating week. It turns out that I ended up doing aweful on that finance exam as I predicted. But it was mostly because the test was almost completely invalid. One of the qestions had the wrong answer on the key. Two of the questions were exactly the same so you'd be screwed if you missed them. Them, the most frustrating ( Read more... )

Alright, so what's up with profs going crazy on exams this semester??? What ever happened to structure? I took a finance exam this week where the only "review" was the prof saying "the exam is over everything you learned in 332." Well I took that course 3 years ago....so I don't exactly remember what we learned. How can profs get away with ( Read more... )

I've been playing this game of "what if" lately and I'm kinda enjoying it. I was watching old home movies over christmas break and I realized that we used to have a piano in my old house. My parents said they sold it when we moved to Coldwater. So I'm a little sad that I've been robbed of a life of greater musical skills. Granted I had a little ( Read more... )

I had the most relaxing break. I did absolutely nothing and loved every minute of it. My parents got a TiVo for Christmas and I've never spent so much time just lounging around watching tv. But it was exactly what I needed after those last few grueling weeks of fall semester exams. The only thing is I really started to miss living on my own. ( Read more... )

Add the high score on the last finance exam to my list this week ( Read more... )

Alright, so obviously I didn't get the Deloitte position....so I guess I'll be doing the interviewing thing again in the spring. YUCK!!! Hopefully I'll be able to find a CPA firm that's interested. If not I think I'll look into something internal at Meijer. I figure it's a good corp to start at since I've been working there for six plus years ( Read more... )

Alright, so I spent the last month of my life running around from one recruiting event and interview to another. Now it's all down to one office visit at Deloitte & Touche in Grand Rapids. No pressure or anything...but this is a great company in an awesome location (except in the winter) so I'm really getting excited about the possibilities. Not ( Read more... )

So I almost got into an accident today driving back from Coldwater. Twice now I've been in almost the exact same scenario in the same stretch of road and the freaky coincidence is that the last time this occurred was last year at around the same time. Alright, so I was driving down the left side of 127 when a car from the southbound road came ( Read more... )
