Getting My MBA at 48

Yeah, 1 essay complete

Yes, I know I have been sitting here for 2 day studying and I should have wrote something yesterday informing all my fans of my pain/pleasure.

Yesterday, I must have read through 300 pages of downloads concerning ESO (employee stock options), footnote disclosure verse financial recognition, and why companies like to give stock options as forms of compensation. My head was swimming is an accountants nightmare.

But I mustered up finished those plus a few other chores that need to get done, you know life still goes on. Just because I am in school, life  doesn’t stop though I would like it to. So I ended up getting to sleep around 2:00 a.m.

You would think that I would be able to crank out these essays, the great writer that I am. I have been working all day, well not quite I have taken time for chores, a nice afternoon walk (to clear my head) and food of course (fuel for the brain).

It is after 11:00 p.m. and the first essay complete, but I will wait till the morning to submit it, I like to have down time, to read it one last time for corrections before sending it off. I have learned that staring at something for hours upon hours, everything blends. Downtime, away from the essay give my brain time to process what I have been writing and to see any mistakes.

But I am happy I just need all day tomorrow, to finish the next essay I am hoping scheduling just assigns me a evening 4 day trip on Saturday.

So me, my trusty MacBook Pro and my endless music can crank out another essay.

Needless to say I still have chore left to do tonight, and many in the morning in preparation for leaving to commute into Phoenix. If I have to go in I am not going till the 3:35 p.m. of the 5:15 p.m. flight, I already have enough stress trying to invade my life I don’t need self inflicted stress too.

Tonight I met a fellow WGU student Lee, actually him found me through the web, a MBA student also a class behind me, but none the less someone with the same dreams. Finish your MBA, at the same time that you are working a full-time job.

I wish him the best, and hope to say in touch.

So I am getting tired and have many things I need to finish, tonight and tomorrow.

I will talk with you in a few hours let see what LUCK the White Tiger brings me.

New Thought Process

I rested last night, and got some great sleep. It is amazing what a good night sleep will do to you.

Got up this morning went and got the tire on Mari’s car fixed, Discount Tire/American Tire in California is by far the best tire store. They fixed the car tire for FREE, yes thats right FREE. Nobody does that any more.

I will always buy my tires from them, my truck got it new shoes from there, and with the warranty they will fix replace and rotate my tires for FREE for the life of the tires. So please visit them if you need tires.

Started my morning off great. Changing my thoughts, attitude and direction of my life.

After I took a drive to a place that fixed Apple computers, they told me of a place that had old computers and weird things, WeirdStuff. Amazing, I really have never seen so much stuff , I got lost in that building.

After wandering, I found things but I refrained from buying too many things. But I did find a Technics CD player that match my other Technics equipment;

Compact Disc Player SL-P220 (found)

Automatic Turntable System SL-BD22

Stereo Integrated Amplifier SU-V85A

Auto Reverse Double Cassette Deck RS-T330R

Quartz Synthesizer AM/FM Stereo Tuner ST-600

A complete set cool from the late 1980′s when Technics made great equipment, now I think Panasonic owns the brand. I starting digging in boxes of remotes hoping I might find the one that goes with the CD player. Got it at the bottom of one of the boxes, WOW. I also found a DVD Player for my old Apple G4 Tower that I have been looking for a long time.

Now both these items I have always wanted at the time when I brought the other items I wished that I could have brought them but could never afford them.

So with my mind in a better place, I brought into my existence things I have wanted, and better yet the CD player was $10 and the DVD for my computer $8. Now I am really amazed and so was my wallet.

But I have to say focus, intention has worked for me before, like this laptop, I really really wanted this one. I settled for another one but in the end I got the one I wanted by talking to Apple and clearly having in my mind what I wanted.

So I know that what I talked about yesterday can happen, I have to use my mind.

Now I am telling you all this because getting lost today, and things happening I feel great!!! Not at all stressed and tomorrow I will be studying moving forward with my life. I can’t wait to hit the books.

I need to make a list, a plan and look at it everyday. I know that my studying will go easy from now on because that is the way I want, not what others want for me.

Its late and I want another good night sleep.
