Study Progress: Part 2 of 3 in week 1 of 11

I just wanted to make everyone aware of the following DVD. I'd recommend you buy it, but I haven't seen it yet. I'm very excited to see it and I think it's something that everyone should see.

I can't put in words how much Andrew McMahon has done for me. I've only seen him perform once live and have never met him, but he's such an example that I try to follow when living my life. I've learned that no matter what stands in your way you can still accomplish your goals with hard work.

Andrew's the lead singer of Jack's Mannequin and Something Corporate and they made a documentary about the last few years of his life. "The long awaited film, Dear Jack, chronicles Andrew McMahon on a rollercoaster year, through the highs of recording and releasing a solo album (under the name Jack's Mannequin) and the lows of being diagnosed with leukemia and breaking up with the love of his life. "Dear Jack" is a breathtakingly emotional film as well as a testament to family, friends and, perhaps more than anyone will ever know, a love of making music."

Other than that, I don't really have much to say except that I busted my ass last week and over the weekend to get ready for an audit and it went extremely well. So well in fact, my boss proved she knew more than the auditor and almost punched her in the head. She definitely made this woman cry when she left our office. The woman called her an hour later to apologize for being an idiot.

P.S. I'm really starting to focus on math again and my brain finally can read a word problem and get all the information and not get tricked by the problems anymore. I'm a little behind on the studying, but I'll catch up this weekend.
