I just want to tell you....

[kis123]

Well, I managed not to jump!

I did the accounting assignment over again and sent what I could to my instructor. It's been very difficult over the last few days and I'm very tired and frustrated. I didn't go to the rec center yesterday and I feel guilty about that. I was just so exhausted physically and mentally that I just didn't have it in me.

I'm going back to the gym today and start over. I've had a lousy attitude lately and that needs to change RIGHT NOW!!! I'm going to catch up on my other class and get it done. I only have one more week of this class and I have to finish strong. So if you guys don't hear from me for awhile, don't worry--I haven't jumped!!🙂

 

[steph]

😛 YAY Kis!
(hey the coolest thing about school? IT ENDS!)

XOXO

 

[giantfan121262]

Aw right!!!!

It's good to hear you're OK Kis. I was really worried. Take as much time as you need and the light will still be on when you return.

good luck with everything!!

 

[featherfingers]

Glad you're still with us, Kis. The next time you want to jump, just jump into my (our) arms and I'll (we'll) give you a great big hug!

Same here!! Going to call it a night! I am getting high from inhaling the fumes of fresh paint

 

[featherfingers]

And I'm going blind from the glare of the computer screen. Goodnight, everyone!

One paper down, one to go and off to study for the final. It's open book, but I haven't done much reading this session. I may have to get some help when I meet with my project team this Sunday. Tuesday's almost here and if I can get a decent grade on the final, I might get an A.

Unfortunately, I got another C on the accounting homework. I guess that's going to have to be okay considering I'm doing this without a tutor. I can only do what I can.

Well, there's the update and I'm pretty exhausted. Gotta get up really early tomorrow. I'll catch you later!

Enjoy your weekend!😀 😀 😀

 

[featherfingers]

Thanks, Kis! You have a great weekend, too. Treat yourself as a reward for your hard work... buy a new CD or have something sinful for dessert. Don't overwork yourself, you hear?

 

[giantfan121262]

Hi gang:

Been out of touch this weekend b/c I went away with the family to celebrate my sons birthday. Just getting on line now cuz my mom is visiting as well and the same reason applies to her as my nephew. what she doesn't know won't hirt her, if u know what I mean.

Kis, thanks for the update on how you are doing and I hope you are feeling better now than you were a few days ago. It sure seems like you are and that is great.

I hope you rewarded yourself like Frank suggested. It will make you feel good, I hope. I will probably be on line between now and Tuesday but I want to wish you luck on the final, and just do the best you can. We'll still love you in the morning. I, for one, see what you are doing and you are doing the right thing by taking it on head on.

Keep it up, you are right there!!

 

[kis123]

We're supposed to have our last onsite class this Tuesday. I'm not ready for the final but, I'll do the best I can. If I get a B in this class, it may not hurt so bad for the results of the accounting class. Plus, I still have a DANTES test to complete before Oct 15. It's going to cost me about 200.00 and I really don't have the money. I guess I'm supposed to pull it out of my ***! I'll have to find it from somewhere because I don't have a choice. there is still a long way to go. It'll be okay though. I still should be done by end of Oct or Nov, 2004.

I'm looking at a wild game website. I like meat sometimes so I think it's a good idea. Wbat do you guys think is important to me so I look forward to hearing from you.

 

[featherfingers]

Kis, maybe you'd better put off treating yourself until after October 15th. Save what money you can... have friends hold a car wash on your behalf... there's always a way to make ends meet, even if it means swallowing your pride. Then, after the test, breathe a sigh of relief and treat yourself for your hard work. You've been doing a great job of letting us know what's been happening. Keep up the good work.

 

[kis123]

Upon further review.......

Of my finances, I have decided to wait for the wild game. I need a job. Gotta spend that 200.00 on my education. Hopefully I will get a job soon and can splurge later on.

I'm almost done with my presentation and am starting on my accounting homework. I hope I can push that grade up to a B before the term is over. But I'm just not going to stress myself out over it anymore.

Gotta run, I have a very busy day ahead of me. Library, gym, and business calls this evening.

Oh, by the way, did I mention that I've lost 21lbs?😀 😀 😀

See 'ya!

 

[featherfingers]

Kis! Congratulations on the weight loss! You're gonna succeed at anything you put your mind to, honey! Keep your focus and keep us posted. (Did I hear you say you want a feather boa")?

(does happy dance for kis)

XOXO

Kis, my hat is off to you!!

AFA the way you are spending the $$$, you are doing the right thing. Getting that degree will put you in line for a BETTER job WHEN you graduate. I can't be the first to congratulate you cuz Frankie and Steph beat me to the punch, but nonetheless, my heartfelt congratulations. That is great!!! 🙂

I am also happy to hear about your weight loss. I knew you had it in you. You are definitley heading in the right direction, not just with the weight loss but EVERYTHING!

Keep up the good work! 🙂 😀

 

[kis123]

Thanks for the compliments folks!

This has been the most unproductive day I've had in a long time. Everything I attempted to do just went to hell!!😡 😡 😡 I have a presentation, a final exam tomorrow and an accounting project due Weds. I haven't even left my house today and no, I didn't go to the gym. I don't know what's wrong with me.

I have to go to the store (this late in the evening) bedcause I have nothing to eat in the house at all. I'll either go to bed early and get up at 6am, or stay up until 3am and get up whenever tomorrow and try to finish it up. Not sure which choice I'll make.

Hopefully the next few hours produce something constructive.

Good night to all, and thanks for the encouragement, I really do need it.

For whatever it's worth sweet kis, I'm dealing w/an out of work mister and doing overtime covering for an employee who's been out of work on work comp for SIX WEEKS now (stands up and dusts herself off) You can do it honey!

XOXO

 

[giantfan121262]

and I have been covering the workload of one of my fund managers that retired. He left in Feb. Double the workload does NOT mean double the pay mind you. You can definetly do it. You are well on your way now from what I read.

 

[featherfingers]

Yesterday I was scheduled to work on four clients... one had to cancel at the last minute. Three in one day isn't too bad. Today, I have only one client, the same on Thursday. If I don't figure out how to get more business, you may see me standing on a street corner holding a sign that says, "Will Massage Feet For Food". We're all going through major challenges. Let's think positive, my friends. We're each going to have a success story to tell; Kis has already lost 21 lbs. We're gonna do fine, just watch.

 

[giantfan121262]

A damn good start I might add. Not to mention the other hurdles she is tackling.

Latest update,

Tonight was the last of one of my classes. The final was tough, but I think I did okay. I did my presentation, forgot about half of it, but I think I "BS'D" my way through well enough.

We hugged, cried, went across the street for a goodbye drink and to let our hair down (so to speak). I'll see them again in December, but no more Tuesday night classes for me!

I'm going to try to do some reading for my accounting class-homework's due by weds. midnight. I'm really behind in my reading, but if I commit to the library tomorrow, I think I can get it all in on time.

You all have been really great!! It's been a tough row to hoe, but you have made my life easier to live these days. I'm glad for this thread and this website.

After the sub sandwich and the long island iced tea, I'm taking a day or two off the scales so I won't get mad. This kind of victory you just gotta' celebrate!

*kis does her happy dance*

Have that sub sandwich, and the LONG ISLAND iced tea, and while you're at it have another one on me as well *Whips out the American Express card*

It's not full-blown party time just yet. I'm going to try to take the DANTES test on Oct 7 since I'll have a week off from accounting class then. I have until Oct 15 to take it. So I'm hedging my bets just in case I have to take it again, but I hope I don't!

But I'm starting to think I have actually accomplished something this time. Unfortunately, I have a very bad habit of not finishing things I start. I am actually going to finish this up, and the excitement nearly overwhelms me. I have to stay focused so I don't get lax or sidetracked. If all goes as planned, I'm done on Oct 27 with time to spare for a December graduation!

I'll pop in the Leslie Sansone (walk away the pounds) video to make up for the eats and drinks. A couple of days of her smiling sadism will bring me back to earth in a hurry!😉

 

[featherfingers]

Kis, already your overall attitude is improving. I'm very proud of you. As fast as September has gone by, October 27th will have come and gone in no time. Post a photo of yourself in your graduation gown for us, when that day comes, okay?
