An Indepth Look Into A Geek's Soul

I didn't always want to be an accountant.  Few kids really do.  When was the last time that you saw a kid with a calculator and tax charts, hunched over a desk for hours, trying to get the facts and figures to come out right.  No. In fact, I rather wanted to be an astronomer, and it is something that I still enjoy.  The weather is getting nicer and nicer out and with that my wanderlust and joy of the outdoors is again on the rise.  I rather like the idea of laying on the dock at my grandpa's, looking up into the stars, just loosing myself in them.  It's something that I'll always enjoy, and I'm rather happy that I deided not to become an astronomer.  I think it would have taken the joy out of my love for space if I become all hardcore educated about it.

Accounting, however, has grabbed my attention ever since I started going to NMC.  I'm not sure what it was that really grabbed me about the whole field of study.  I think I just suddenly realized that it would be a lot easier to find a job and earn a better paying by doing taxes for other people than looking for new stars to name.  It also helps a lot that I'm doing pretty fantastic in my accounting class.  It really makes me feel like I'm going to be a great success in the field.  I hope that I am.  To excel in one thing, better than the majority of my friends, is also a huge ego booster.

That isn't to say that I'm totally okay with that yet.  There are times when I get really excited that I am able to solve a problem without lifting a finger, or struggling with one and then just totally destorying it later on.  Then about five seconds later I give a little sigh with disgust that I enjoy doing this kind of thing.  It's kind of crazy to be completely honest.  There is also the fact that I am slowly turning into a terrible homework doer.  This could negatively effect me and the cockiness that I've been builing up towards my career.  These are both issues that should probably be looked into.

Peace Out.
