4 more months

Soccer may still be my crack, but our games have been cancelled the last 3 weeks due to rain. Blah. This weekend is supposed to be nice until Monday, game night. It's 6AM and I'm drinking coffee and working on school stuff... the two boys are jumping around my desk. OK just the puppy, Tay is patiently hanging out, waiting for the sun to come up so we can walk.

I'm ready to be done with school but so fearful that I won't get a job. I will get a job, I will get a job. I'm listing my resources and trying to think of every industry I'm qualified for, interested in and that pays a living wage. I've quadrupled my debt in the last year by joining this MBA program and I'd like to think my earning potential has improved, some. I know this is still the central coast of California... but I'm optimistic. I'm realizing that I may just need to start my own company to make a good living here, although that means I will probably struggle for a while first.

Anyhow, I'm trying to stay hopeful, and at least I'm pretty distracted. Duke is awesome, he's an absolute handful but he's awesome, and Taylor is being so patient, too patient in fact. There are times I wish he would snap back at Duke and teach him a lesson... but he rarely does. He even lets Duke take toys out of his mouth, share the water bowl at the same time and steal his food! I know, my dog, Taylor! This was unheard of. He gets a lot more play time with Duke around which I know he likes, but he is also constantly tested.

So, 4 more months. I'm done July 4th in China... but I need to work right when I get back because my bank balance will be at zero, maybe below a few grand. Urgh.

Soccer is my crack

You couldn't peel the grin off my face tonight. We (2 fellow MBAs and myself) played our first co-ed recreation game tonight. I LOVE soccer. I have been pumped for weeks, especially today. I juggled outside for a while with Tay... my heart racing.

I'm definitely not in sprinting shape right now, but this is some motivation! It's all the things I loved about soccer without the pressure. It's completely chill. Love it. I already got invited to play on the Sunday women's league... I'm going to wait until fall, but this is it; this is my crack. Every inch of my body was trained to play soccer... and I freaking love it.

LOVE LOVE LOVE it.

Finance? Accounting? Oh a midterm in the morning, but I'm still smiling :) School doesn't suck as bad when your mind is chasing a ball for an hour!

Crickety crack.

Which one is worse: accounting or finance?

Now it's a toss up... is accounting or finance worse? Urgh. I love this program, but some of this material is frustrating.

We went to Guadalupe last night and watched the fights in the theater: BJ Penn and GSP as the main even. It's the studio Sam records music in, an old movie theater. With HD and surround sound, it's pretty cool. I love watching MMA, which is surprising to many including myself. Truth be told, I love watching anyone do anything well. These guys are conditioned beyond belief! Flexible, quick, strong, it's amazing.

Today is the Super Bowl. I'm still deciding if I'm going to watch it. I have a ton of work to do, and neither of the teams thrill me.
