Getting the Balance Right

I wanted to post before I did some reading on the commentary on Galatians (fun stuff!). Thank God that the accounting homework wasn't as hard as I thought it would be! Whew! We had to do an accting sheet, then Income Statements, Balance Sheet, etc. for a fictitional business for homework, and I was thinking we had to do it ALL on our own, which was somewhat intimidating, but I realized that within the sheet in Excel he placed some 'helper' info along the way, e.g., where the accounts payable figure went, etc. That helped tremendously! So yes, I wasn't as stressed as I thought I would be tonight. lol The first night was basically hell because he flew through all this stuff like nothing. But now thank God it's all making more sense as I go back through it...slowly. Taking my time. Not rushing. Letting it all soak in. hehe

The load for both classes, Accounting and Galatians, are just right also, which really helps me out so I'm not overloaded. Geeez I remember when I had like 3 or 4 classes at one time at CSUF! How did I do it then?? If I can't handle a few classes now then something's really wrong with me! lol Well for one, I didn't have a FT job. I was working PT at Mrs. Fields at the time, so I guess that makes a big difference. So I think it's important that I take full advantage of these classes and learn as much as I can within the 4-6 weeks time in each of class, rather than just trying to get by, cause this wont come around again, this BS program. Meaning, once I'm done, I'm done. It's over. Whatever energy and time and thought I put into it will determine how much I got out of it, how much I learned, how much I can apply. So I might as well go full steam and plunge into it, cause it'll all end soon. I don't want to be at the end feeling like I did after Platt, my first accelerated program in graphic design years back: basically unprepared and half-educated, cause the program was similar to this: very quick, but not very thorough. I think that that's the disadvantage here with accelerated programs. You're in and out quickly and on to your career, but the foundation isn't very well established, unless you put in 110% throughout the entire program. I still think a 4 yr college degree is well worth the wait and worth the money, and will give a person a better foundation in preparing for a career, as opposed to a 12 month program. And now that I think about it, I think going to Biola for a BS in Leadership is going to benefit me more than having had gone back to Platt for my BA in graphics, since my goal is in moving up to management eventually. This degree will complement my graphics degree and experience.

Anyways, 'nough about school...I guess I should read now. But...as I relayed to a friend of mine recently, I'm tempted to stay and write only cause I like writing alot more than reading! lol But, alas, I should work on those weaknesses too. Got class tomorrow and I'm glad I'm ready for that at least. Okay I'm yawning now...better go...until next time, whenever that is...hehe. =)
