Yes, it has been quite some time since my August 3rd WCU graduation, but I have been extremely busy!  Just when you thought you couldn’t get any busier after you’ve had 24-credit-hour semesters, along comes a full time job.

I did start working shortly after graduating with my International Business (& Spanish) degree.  When I came back from the Netherlands I was (and still am) a bit confused on which country I wanted to live in permanently.  So I opted for a temporary position instead of taking a permanent one.

I now am an Accounting Clerk at an international manufacturing company close to home.  Yes, quite a 360 considering I haven’t had accounting in over two years and only took two courses! But I have been doing very well and have been learning A LOT (this seems to be a never-ending process)!  The company has just transitioned from one software program to another (I had to learn both) and plans to go to SAP (a third system) in January 2008. Who says you shouldn’t keep your old text books?  I have had to dust off my ‘unsellable’ accounting books and crack a couple binders. And by the way - Excel is used in the real world and you have NO idea what all it really can do.

I also have many other job possibilities outside the area (and the country) which I will be looking into.  But for now, I have been set back on a regular 8 to 5 schedule and am enjoying my current job.  This weekend I plan on showing my car in Atlanta at the Nopi Nationals and just relaxing. I have learned to cherish my weekends like gold since they are all I get. But I hope everyone is off to yet another great school year and I will upload my graduation photos next time.
