How does she carry all that weight?!

No, I'm not talking about the weight on my body; I'm talking about the bag on my back. Let me explain: In an effort to break free from the under 40K income bracket, to become and expert at something, and to get into a "real" graduate program (UofU or Weber MAcc program), I've decided to hit the books once again to conquer the GMAT. Yes, this is work I'm doing on top of my current MBA workload and full-time work. Now days you will see me lugging along a rather large backpack filled with my study materials that throws my small frame out of proportion--that is if you see me at all. :)

Despite the attempts by my bishopric to "get me more involved in the ward," I've decided to take time to invest in myself. An education is something that I will have the rest of my life. My philosophy right now is that the sooner I get this over with, the sooner I can play. Consequently, I have dedicated the month of November to GMAT studying and MBA work.* Although I'll take a few breaks for a ward temple night and the UofU vs. BYU game party. Boys, don't be affended if I'm not interested in a second date (can we just be friends for now), and girls, don't be affended if I'm not at every girl gathering. There is a time and a place for everything. Hurray for education!

*The month of December will be dedicated to MBA work because I'm going to take two classes. February through Apirl will mostly be dedicated to tax season, but I will definitetly make time for friends and fun!
