What's everyone up to right now?
RE: What's everyone up to right now?
Trying to watch 2 NWSL matches withhuge playoff implications at once (one on TV, one on web), waiting for a U.S. Open Cup match (similar to FA Cup), and waiting for So You Think You Can Dance (go Valerie!), :o. Gimme some ritalin.

Valerie?!?

She's cute, but she's no Jacque. Or Rudy. Or Jessica.

I've decided that I'm going to take the plunge and get chartered in accountancy (probably CIMA as I'm not interested in financial accounts). 3 years or so with exemptions from my degree and I'll be fully chartered and qualified.

The hard work beings next month!

Studying for a PhD and an accountancy qualification at the same time will probably be quite difficult, though. Not sure I'll be able to hack both of them.

Fidel that sounds like a lot on one's plate! (especially as I assume your commute from the South Atlantic is pretty serious... Tongue )

Coffee, then work. 3 day weekend before I have to work 2 weeks straight so I can get down to FL for my draft party!!!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Ha. Thanks. Didn't think anyone had noticed that Tongue

TBH I've been considering dropping the PhD. I've been on a leave of absence for nearly a year and have lost all interest in it. Also, it doesn't earn me any money and I've got a mortgage to pay. I find accounting relatively interesting and also appear to be ok at it, and the CIMA course isn't too intensive.

I'm going to juggle the two until January and see how I feel. I can always submit early and get an MPhil instead of a PhD and I'd be happy with that.

'Draft party'? Sounds like it could be messy!

Reading about David Gregory's immediate departure from NBC and Chuck Todd's installation at Meet The Press.

If I got AF rep for every time I said that, I would be the most popular person on here. I have wear to the BCGs unless I go out or am in situations I don't want to appear ridiculous.

Just 1,500 more words to go. Just 1,500 more words to go, and then I'm done with this commission.

So close! Tongue
