Updates (Popcorn, Toe, School, etc.)

This year's popcorn sale has exceeded all expectations.  Right now, we have over $52,000 in popcorn distributed to the individual units.  If these numbers hold, we will sell 50% more than last year.  I did not think we'd do that well.  Brandon has yet to sell much, but he hasn't been in front of the stores yet.

The toe is great.  The bone has completely healed and I was even up to wearing shoes this week.  No more ugly boot.  YAY!!

School is going fine.  The Financial Accounting II instructor had difficulty believing I had finished that class in two weeks.  She asked me if I was some kind of "whiz kid."  I said, no, but I had been accused of being an overachiever.  I missed my Lean Management class on Wednesday because I was soooo sick.  Nothing left of it but a cough now.  Now I have to make up a quiz this week.  I'm not behind on anything yet.  So far, so good.

1 Class Down, 6 to Go! & Toe

So, I was up until 5am this morning, but I got it done.  I completed my Financial Accounting II class.  I should explain how this is done.  These Accounting classes are run through an online program called My Accounting Lab.  Basically, you read through the chapter, complete the exercises online, take the quizzes and tests, and boom, you're done.  The course was 7 chapters long.  However, since I've already taken these classes when I received my Accounting Clerk Certificate, it (and the first class) were mostly review.

Anyway, it's done.  I wish the other 6 could be done this quickly.  I'll probably have the Decision Making with Accounting Info class done within two weeks.  We'll see.

Still running A's, though I haven't gotten my grades for my first speech and my first programming assignment for Visual Basic (can I tell you how much I LOVE that class!).

The other thing I wanted to talk about is my toe.  I broke the little toe on my right foot severely about a month ago running into the dining room table.  It's broken diagonally and into two pieces (I even overachieve toe breaking).  It's still really swollen and looks funky.  I go back to the podiatrist tomorrow.  If it's not healing right, he's going to reset it (ie, re-break it) and put screws in it.  Wish me luck!

First Week of Fall Term

Well, the first week of this term is in the books.  How did I get out of writing papers this term?  Amazing.  Well, I'm a week ahead in my e-business on the internet and I only have three more chapters of work to complete in my Financial Accounting II class.  That should be done this week.  I've already complete most of the major deliverables for my Capstone class.  Now it's just a matter of providing weekly updates and doing my final presentation.

The most fun came on Thursday, when I got to write my first code in my Visual Basic Class.

Anyway, so far, so good.  I'll check in again next week.  I'm hoping for some comments, so please make some!
