I should be studying for my GMAT this Friday
but instead, I’m listening to house music with my newly bought headphones. It’s like a free concert at my desk without the sweaty bodies bumping up against me. Awesome.

Amen.
So here’s my broken life, Lord do what You please. I’m laying down my rights, my hopes, and my dreams. Cause You laid down Your life in love for me. So I surrender all to You, my King.

COWDAY
Today was the famous Cow Appreciation Day! I LOVE CHIKFILA! I didn’t have friends to go with this year.. but I did have co-workers. I emailed a bunch of people in the office earlier this week to see if they’d come on this adventure for free lunch. I even pre-made the spots and cow nose at home the night before; all they had to do was wear white! Unfortunately not as many people came...
Dork
I’m such a dork when it comes to these types of things.. but I will admit that I am super excited to use my large moleskin weekly planner! It’ll last me 1.5 years and it starts this month in July. I decided to get a more professional looking planner for work to book appointments and note meetings if needed - no more of that free Sanger Learning Center planner.
HELLO BEAUTIFUL

I just want some perspective
Today, I got tricked into doing some manual labor on my job. No hard feelings, but was pretty surprised when I got asked to do some of the tasks that I had to do today. So a little background.. Goldman Sachs owns Archon Group. My particular department inside Archon Group does the accounting for the partners who have invested in particular hotel assets across the United States. Pillar - Hotel and...
WatchI’m coming back for you… wouldn’t mind living here after college. =)
INSANE
This summer, I’ll be doing the Insanity Challenge and I’m really hoping to finish it out… unlike P90x last summer. No workout partner like Esther this summer so it’s going to be even more difficult to dig through the workouts. I’m currently on week 3 - started the first day of my internship. I usually do my routine right after work, but lately I’ve just been...
Dallas, Plano, Irving, Los Colinas, Whatever.
I still can’t believe that I finally finished off the spring semester of my junior year. It’s been quite the roller coaster this year (when has it not been?) but it’s definitely been one of my most memorable years thus far.
It’s been pretty nonstop after school ended. Right after my last written final, I went straight home to Houston for my round of office visits with the...
it's been a while.
In newark right now.. My flight doesn’t depart until 9 so I’ve got three hours to kill and think. Hello! This blog if going to be filled with many posts over the course of the next 6 months.. I can feel it already

Lord,
I’m needing your discernment more than ever now. Father God, may I trust in you and your provisions.
You are my King. You are my God.. and I love you, Lord. I worship You. You are my God. You alone are good..
please, please, please, help me get through this.

This past weekend
I visited New York just because I felt like it. Many thoughts ran through my mind this weekend.
Thoughts of regret - regret of not dropping my public accounting position in New York.
Thoughts of hope - hope for the world from the acts of kindness I witnessed in the city.
Thoughts of the inevitable future - I really do see myself living there.. probably not right after I graduate though. I...

Just Saying..
I cannot wait to go home and take a break from all this accounting bull@#$!.
.. Home, where I can lay in bed all day watching Friends, Modern Family, and HIMYM.
.. Home, where I can sleep in without setting an alarm clock.
.. Home, where I will actually have genuine time to hang out with those that I haven’t kept up with this past semester.

Fall 2010
And to think that I was coming into this school year with a completely new and fresh mindset… man, I’ve been a fool. Not to be emo or whatever, as Jesse so likes to call it, but man, have I lost sight of God’s plan for me this year.. for me ever. I had such a clear vision of how God was to use me this year, of how I would grow and walk alongside him this year through my...
I'm sick.
I’m tired all the time.
Physically tired. (which means I need to get back in shape)
Mentally tired. (which means I need to learn to just relax)
Spiritually tired. (which means.. when’s the last time I did a QT?)
..Dead Tired.
a lot on my mind
and I don’t know how to put it all in words. But once I do, I’ll be sure to let you know.
Thoughts
I know I’m not the smartest guy… but I know that I’m not the dumbest either. Rejection sucks, in every way shape form and fashion. But you have to keep pushing through.. is what I keep telling myself.
The Lord has His plans for me.. so why rush them? :)
I'm on the pursuit
of happiness.. and I’ll be good once again.
Not everything is a competition.
so why make it one?

Excuse my disheartening posts..
I really do need to start counting my blessings and trying to see the good in things and in people.
I’m not going to lie though, I’m pretty much jaded. =X
Really?
I honestly don’t know how you MPA alums did it.. I’m currently doing a tax entity project where I’m filing a corporate tax return. I am literally looking at the 1065 form and my mind goes blank and I think about what else I should be doing… that and the fact that I want to shoot myself if I look at this stack of tax forms for another minute. I can’t do this..
As far...
