A Confession...
I'm trying to be very quiet this week, as I know I'm leaving for London on Thursday. I had some time to kill, and I didn't want to use a bus pass to wander the city, so I went to the library. Then I thought wow, I can't even remember the last time I was in a library for fun! I spent a long time in the accounting section, looking for anything. After a while of searching, I found one, called "How Companies Lie, A Guide to Accounting Trickery and Financial Misrepresentation". I got really excited to read it. Then I stopped and realized that I was really excited to read an accounting book. What happened to me? I started reading and got hooked. At the end of every chapter I told myself I'd stop and go do something social, but I couldn't stop reading it. I was 70 pages into it before I knew it, and it's not exactly a light read, so I was impressed. Did I really deep down miss school work, and not know it? Wow. I ended the night watching an hour and a half documentary film on the collapse of Enron. Maybe this was the right career choice, because I loved every second of it. I'm actually struggling to write this, because my book is on the windowsill in front of me. The worst part is that I know how bad all of this sounds, but this is how I spent my free time, and I liked it. I realized that if I hadn't studied abroad, I never would've had the time to do something like this. I just became that much more appreciative of this opportunity: time.
