Yet Another New Semester and a Trip to Gold Country...
Monday, January 14, 2008
Spring semester starts today, and once again I am prodding myself to get motivated and continue kicking scholastic ass (still rocking a 3.88!). The biggest challenge comes when considering how long it will take to finish this degree program while only taking two courses per semester. So I have to frequently remind myself that I'm in no hurry, which, though completely logical and entirely reasonable, goes against every natural fiber of my being. Those who know me well would testify that I'm no fan of delayed gratification, to put it lightly. Alas, this new semester (Intermediate Spanish II and another CIS course) will be one step closer, even if it is a smallish step. Ah, the life of a professional adult student. Woot.
Speaking of professional life...I'm off to LA for a client site visit in the morning. Gotta love SoCal. And even more exciting than the work side, I'll get to have dinner and drinks with a couple of very good friends that in spite of a year's worth of friendship (and hard work on that upcoming independent wealth possibility I've spoken of previously) I've never had the pleasure of meeting in person. One of the more interesting aspects of consulting work is that you often form close working relationships and even friendships with people over a period of months or years without ever shaking their hand or looking them in the eye. Anyway, I'll take pictures while I'm out there and hopefully post a pic of my buddy Shane, his lovely wife Nicole, and myself accompanied by a few martini glasses or something. And since its LA, those are probably $12 martinis. Welcome to Hollywood, baby.
