Intermediate

So I passed my final business law exam last night, it was much smoother than the first one. I hope to keep in touch with Mr. Krumbein, he was a great teacher. I told BCL and Jane today about my departure in August. Set things up for Joe a little more, I really hope he gets my position. I also talked to BCL about keeping her as a contact for law school admission, we talked a little bit about SU and UW, she thinks SU is a Catholic school, so I should go to UW. Fine with me, UW seems to offer more choices for masters, including concurrent programs. So the plan is to attend UW. Here's the problem, classes start in Fall and since I wont be graduating till Oct 2006, I will have to take almost a year off of school. *frown* But it will give me the time I need to focus on the LSAT and GMAT. I can get all my admissions stuff in order and ready to go. It will mean that I will have to start paying on my financial aid loans for my bachelor's degree, but that's okay, I think once I start going to school again I will be able to put that aside. It will also give me about 1 year to prepare for going to college full time. I would start law school/accounting masters program in September 2007 and it will take 3 years. So I would graduate with a dual masters in acct and law in June of 2010. I will be 30, so about 5 years behind the "curve". Then I will have what I need to sit for the CPA and bar exams. It also means that D and I would be in WA for at least 5 years. And when all is said and done I will have spent about $200,000 in tuition alone. But MAN!! Can you imagine?! JD AND CPA?!?! It would be..."lethal". So I really think I'm going to do it. I have 2.5 years to prepare - that is plenty of time. I will have to have patience, but I'm learning (slowly) that that is a good asset to have.

In the immediate future I will be training for Intermediate Accounting. Dun dun dunnnnn!!!! I will start tonight by reading 50 pages - yep look out for me, I'm a wild woman!! Reading Financial Accounting on a Friday night! WHOOOOOO!!!!! It will be nice to stay in, I plan on going out tomorrow anyway for a friend's b-day.

It's so funny, 2 years ago when I started attending UOP I remember thinking that if I just got my bachelor's, I would have "arrived". I remember dreading Intermediate Accounting even up until recently. I remember getting nervous, overcome by feelings of inadequacy and anxiety. Now here it is, my first day of IA and I'm okay. I'm not scared. I know I will do fine. Compared to what I am dreaming of now, IA seems like a vacation. I find myself now nervous about law school, the LSAT/GMAT, taking law classes, doing a concurrent masters program - it's all so scary and I'm not sure that I can do it, but my strongest supporters think I can and well, the best thing I can do is try it out. What harm ever came in that, right?

Wow, a lawyer and an accountant. I have goose-pimples just thinking about it. Then I can my doctorate in International Business Law and Accounting!! I'm going to change the world, I have to. I tried analyzing it last night, why I would feel like such a failure if I didn't change the world, and I never came to any conclusions. The point is I don't think I was cut out for the "traditional" get married, have kids, be happy with a mediocre job and the PTA. I tried that. Apparently the world/God/Goddess agree that my lot in life is not procreation. But that doesn't mean that I can't/won't have purpose. I don't know what I will do, but I won't be happy till I do it. :)

ONWARD HO!!!!
