Well, as of today, there is exactly one month left until the last day of finals. And immediately afterwards, I will start on a *new* job ("new" in the responsibilities of the position, not in the people I will be working with). It will be a management position, so I get to torture my underlings with all of my newly acquired information from Business Management. Hey, I had to suffer in my day...it's THEIR TURN now! (LOL!)

I'm doing better than I had hoped in Accounting. I'm sitting two percentage points below a "B" average, so a strong showing on the last two exams plus homework and I should pull a pretty good grade considering the difficulty of the course. Business Management, Marketing, and Business Communication I'm not worried about. I should pull straight A's in those courses. Network Security should be a "B" at minimum (although if I can find the funds to take and pass my Security+ cert before the semester ends I get an automatic "A". Not crossing my fingers on THAT one, though!). PHP programming depends on how well I can do at debugging the last two chapters this weekend. We have one more chapter to do this semester, so if I can put everything togethr I should get an "A" there as well.

We found out we'll be on the late side of the tax rebate checks, which will cramp us up a bit through May. The truck needs a new radiator and intake manifold gasket, and we're going to be living in two locations for the summer and possibly through fall (I'm trying to work out courses online and by arrangement so that I can stay at the new job). It'll be loads of fun, but we'll swing it. For sanity's sake, I am taking no summer courses. I need a break.

But after finals are through and I head home, the positive news is, I'll officially be a senior. I am working on some interesting projects (I'll update here if it pans out), but it's nice to know I'm coming in on the homestretch. I'll be attending my 20 year reunion this summer, and it's exciting to have a four year degree so close.
