The month is flying by!

This semester is just whizzing by.  At this time last semester I was feeling so overwhelmed, but this semester is actually FUN!  I've really relaxed about grades and studying and it is paying off--the semester is just not very stressful.  There is the occasional exam that I wish I was better prepared for, but all in all it is a very positive term.

Three of my classes are in the evening, meaning that I often don't get home until 9:30 PM, but most of my day time is free.  One required class is Tues/Thurs midday and one elective is 2:00-5:00 PM Wednesday, but the others are at night.  This gives me huge blocks of study time--basically Thursday after 2:00 PM til Monday at 5:30 PM is concentrated time at home to prepare.  THIS is what grad school should be like!

We will be doing a community service project which I am looking forward to--in teams we offer our services as accountants to local non-profits--it is a big part of our course grade in one class.  I worked for a non-profit for ten years and have a serious soft spot for the missions they undertake.
