Feeling better...

So, I am feeling a bit better. I weighed in 5 lbs. lighter at the gym today than when I started this week. So there's some progress.

I really wish I could start getting overtime at work. I didn't realize it'd take this long. I want to get going with it. Those weeks of training that I had were really pointless for me. They should have focused on what I'm actually DOING in my job. They could've got me up to speed with plenty of practice and I could be doing more to help. They've just added on some more complicated stuff the last couple of days. It's not too bad. I'll be a pro by the end of the week ;-)

I'm a little worried about my goals for this year. It just seems like money is always going to be scarce and I'm going to be poor forever. This CPA license is EVERYTHING to insuring that doesn't happen. Without it I'm always going to be earning $30-40k. With it, I could feasibly reach $100k...at least $75k. I could have a home of my own, and be able to actually have a life....

Life is hard...

I've been feeling pretty depressed lately. I don't know why. Just sad...lonely. I'm trying to keep myself as busy as possible...but it doesn't seem to be helping. I'm hoping that getting back in shape will help. I'm starting at the gym this week again...I want to lose 50 lbs. I'm really going to have to get in shape. I will feel better once I look good again.
So let's get started! Besides my physical self, I'm working on my CPA study and reading. I used to read a lot and I think it would benefit me if I became at least familiar with the classics. I'm very curious about history, especially European...which I guess stems from my mission.

Bottom line is I will feel better once I look good, have a great job (not just a good one), and have my own home.
