Here's what's been happening:
I was 8th place at DECA Provincials this year. Who would've guessed? AND I got 100% on one of my case studies. Unheard of. My whole goal was to NOT make a fool out of myself this year like I did last year and I guess I did more than not make a fool out of myself.
I don't know if I got smarter or the competition got easier. Either way, I'm happy because a one-week trip to Orlando, Florida sounds AMAZING.
On the downside of that, a one-week trip means one week away from school. If I don't want to pay for tuition next year, I need at least a 90% in calculus. This is going to be tough. And what about ultimate frisbee? I want to join, that's my second family, but can I sacrifice school for it? But even if I had all the time in the world, would I still get a good mark in calculus? Ugh, that's what's been keeping me up every night.
On the plus side, I got accepted to my second choice university (which would be my first if I didn't visit the other campus) with a $5000 scholarship off the bat, plus any entrance/other scholarships I can get. Mind blown.
Work has been pretty cool, I've done a lot more book keeping stuff which is nice. I'm excited to actually become a C.A. It's also nice to go from thinking while doing bookkeeping back to mindless typing at the front desk.
I'm finally getting to meet Dorothy Engelman too. We scheduled a meeting for January but her work got in the way and she just recently emailed me to reschedule. I thought she would've forgotten or that it wasn't a huge priority. This just shows how great she is. Really. I'm so excited. It's not everyday that you get to meet one of your role models.
