Beautiful Surprizes

So today, as soon as my alarm went off, my roommate bounds into the room, and said something about flower on the kitchen table. I was still half asleep, but she absolutely couldn't wait, there was a note and she was dying to see who the flowers were from. So, she grabbed them from the table, and I read the note. It was cheery and anonymous, sometimes the best kind

The thing is, this past week has been a struggle for me. I've been down on myself, and not feeling good at all. I was not looking forward to today, it just seemed too depressing to try to do school more. Then, I get this. There's no doubt in my mind that whoever left these was inspired. There's no other explanation. They came on a day when I needed a lift, and now I'm so much happier. I know my happiness shouldn't depend on things like this, but sometimes it's easier to be cheerful when someone leaves you anonymous flowers. My only hope is that I, in turn, can do something for someone else. I want to pass on the happiness.



Sometimes, it's nice to get a reminder that there are those out there who listen to the Lord's voice, and who will follow it. I try, but I'm not the best. It's nice to know there's someone out there who cares enough to do this simple act of kindness.




On a different note, today is one of my roommates' birthday! Happy Birthday Roomie!

Accounting Rocks!

So, last week I received an email inviting me to an Accounting Information Session for women. It said that since I had done well on the first test of Accounting 200, I probably could do well in the Accounting Program (I'm not sure how that works, but I'm not going to argue with them). The coolest part? It was by invite only. So, the information session was this morning. It was everything I had hoped for and more. They had a teacher who actually used to work for a major Accounting firm, and students in the Junior Core and in the Masters of Accountancy program. Of course, they were all female. The teacher - Professor Bud - used to work for a major accounting firm, and she talked of her experience being a mother and working full time. Her husband was a stay at home father, and that worked. But, as she described her work as an auditor, I knew that was what I wanted to go into. I know that I can get into the program, and I'm on the right path. I'm SO excited!
