Firehose

It's been a long time since I've written. Part of that is due to the fact that I have been so immersed in accounting boot camp/housing/orientation that I haven't had a chance to really organize my thoughts. Well, that's not too good of an excuse since I don't really ever organize my thoughts anyways.

I guess I'll just give you a summary:

Accounting Boot Camp: It's like drinking from a firehose. Yes, that's an overused cliche, but it does seem like quite an accurate analogy. While I may not know for sure what I want to do, I surely know that I don't want to do accounting as a career.

Housing: Major rat-f / u / c / k! I've never heard anybody ever have a smooth and painless experience with new construction, so I won't kill you with the details. If you really want to know, call me or email me. I've got a list about the length of Crime and Punishment that sums it up.

Orientation: Fun! I'm getting to meet tons of new people. I'm also fortunate to have a CPA in my study group. There is a God!

More later. On the way to the Dean's house for dinner tonight.

Condo Blues

So, we just got word from our realtor that there was a slight screw up on the part of the City of Austin/the developer of our condo. It seems that the city gave the developer a map of the sewage system, the developer built to those specifications, but when they went to connect the development sewage to the city sewage, they did not match up. So, in the end, closing has been put out a week since the city won't grant a Certificate of Occupancy until the plumbing works. Oh well. It would have been s//h//i//t//t//y if we couldn't flush the toilet. (Pun Intended)

Hopefully, that will be the last delay. I'm not sure where I'm going to live the next couple of weeks. For all of you reading this in Austin, you may find me on your doorstep with my aerobed. Don't mind me, just step over me in the morning.
