For the Love of Sarcasm

Sarcasm is my Swiss Army Knife of choice. In some of my worst moments, it has helped me make light enough to move on. In some of my best moments, well I guess it's just helped me entertain - even if only myself. This blog is my way of sharing all of those moments and probably my sarcastic views on the situations. Sarcasm truly is a girl's best friend!

The Final Countdown

I've worried over the last month that my blog looked like just another abandoned blog sitting out there. And, the truth is, it has. I have been keeping a secret from the public because I'm honestly afraid of failing. I have a professional designation exam that I will be taking on January 28th - this Friday. My close friends know about it. In fact, they've known about it for a year now.

My degree is in Economics. I'm an Econ dork. I love it. However, that degree was earned many years ago and although I use many aspects of it in my job, there are still many details to be learned. And the biggest challenge here is that I've had to learn it from a book. Not my style. You see my wonderful ADHD children didn't fall far from the tree. Mom has quite the case of ADHD herself. So while the material is right up my alley, the learning method is not. Organization and time management, not my gifts. Both are skill set that would have been extremely useful.

I am battling through. Procrastinating far too much at times. But today begins the sprint to the finish line. I can't tell you that I have a defined path for that. What I do recognize is that I have a tremendous amount of strength and fight in me. So I need to call on those traits to keep my nose (and head) in the books. I will finish strong.

And then I will come home and have drinks and play ping pong with my husband and my best friends!
