I have not forgotten you,
I have not forgotten you, Gentle Readers. Most of my time over this past week has been spent either avoiding writing or studying accounting. Whee! T-minus six work days before I start my new job. I learned all about financial statement formatting today -- and to my surprise, I kinda dug it.
In other news, I've been corresponding with a third cousin I didn't know I had. Remember all of the genealogy files I mentioned in the last entry? I emailed the woman who posted them -- and it turns out she is, in fact, my third cousin. We've been swapping family stories and getting to know each other. She's very cool, highly literate and interesting -- and musical! Apparently she's got a degree or two in music. According to her, the Oliver Cromwell I spotted on our family tree is in fact THE Oliver Cromwell. Woohoo!
In other other news, I rearranged my school schedule for fall to fit my new work schedule. Obviously, I won't be in school full time. I am taking two classes, though: US History to 1877 and Reading of Literature: Drama. The history class meets one night a week and the lit class meets on Saturdays. Not my ideal schedule, but I figure I can deal with it.
