Monica had this to say about (_|_):
Accounting I
Business Communication
Elementary Spanish I
Management & Org Behavior
Principles of Public Relations

I'm pretty much scared to death of Accounting. I enrolled in it last semester but realized on the first day that the professor was Satan herself and dropped it. Hopefully this semester I managed to get a slightly better professor.

I still remember my ACCT 101 teacher, Mrs. King. She was a full-time CPA that taught the one evening ACCT 101 course each semester. She was brutal. You know that rule that says one should do 3 hours of homework per week for every course credit hour (that's 9 hours of homework for a 3-credit course)? That much time spent on homework might earn you a "B." It was a brutal course, we had to know the tiniest detail of every definition and every aspect of what we learned and busting one's butt to get an "A" was only going to earn a "B" if you are good. Die-hard accounting types went the extra 100 miles for the "A."

As brutal as it was, I have a tremendous respect for her expectations and method. About three years after completing the course (with a B+), I began working in a position where I needed to know all the ACCT 101 concepts and they all came flooding back to the front of my brain where I could use them.

BTW, I might be starting Grad School in the Spring. Yippee!! I'm only 4 Master's degree behind Sage

With a little bit of Jack Black from School of Rock thrown in, perhaps. I think there's some definite potential here.

Verily, the chocolate bunny rabbits doth run and play while Naimah gently hums:
I found Epee made my circles better, screwed up my lunge, made my point control insane, and I could stop hit like a mofo. I got a guy 4 times on the bottom of the hand during the wind up for a lunge in one match before. Then he fixed his range and I was .

I need to start fencing again. I miss it so much.

A good lunge is quite valuable in Epee, since, like the Spanish Inquisition, no one expects it. And what kind of mo-ron winds up for a lunge--the whole point is that it should be a smooth, entirely forward motion.

Fuck, I should probably figure out how to make a living with an English degree.

You can do just about anything with an English degree. It's quite flexible, and in more demand than most people think. It'll sort of depend on how you used your non-core classes and how you sell yourself, but don't limit your thinking to journalism or teaching. The fact is that many businesses have woken up to the fact that English is one of the few degrees that actually teaches creative thinking as opposed to the application of pre-determined formulae. Add that to the fact that you'll have a natural leg up in your ability to communicate, explain, and sell ideas, and you're a good match for just about any management-type job.

In the '90s, many companies realized they were screwing themselves by insisting upon, and only hiring, technical majors out of college. They realized that it's actually easier and cheaper to train liberal arts types in the technical details of a business than it is to train the technical types in creative thinking and ability to communicate and work with ideas. Read up on the phenemenon; it'll give you ideas about how to sell yourself in the job market.

Also teaching 3 sections of the Intro to Public Speaking course again. I can do that for 2 or 3 years too, so the money to fund my M.A. will be there for awhile.

That's the idea, but almost no one has a perfect lunge and most people have some type of tell.
