Planet's Aligned?

There's something going on this year, and I'm not sure what. But what ever it is...I really like it. My teacher actually told me today that this is turning out to be a great year for me. I really do agree. Even though there were times when things got rough, and times when things got really rough, I still can't help but smile. Because at the end of it all, there will always be good and bad times, but living in this moment right here, right now, it's pretty much amazing.

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.
