Don't You Just Love Procrastination?

So here I am at my desk attempting to study for my supply chain final tomorrow. It's actually pretty pathetic that I'm not already done with it because this is the kind of material that you brain just soaks up really quick. I could be done in like an hour, but do I study? Nope.

On Wednesday I finally get to high-tail it out of Arizona and go back to Seattle. I am so glad that I booked the night flight for Wednesday because it is going to feel soooooo good to just get on the plane, sit back, listen to my iPod, and doze as we fly through the night. I always really, really look forward to that Christmas break flight back to Seattle. I'm hoping that since I'm flying out on the last day of finals and fairly late at night that the plane will be half empty. Night flights are even more awesome when it feels like you're the only one on the plane.

Having completely botched my finance final on Saturday, I only have 3 minor ones left over the next 3 days. I have just enough time in between each of them to cram for the next one. By Wednesday night I should be pretty exhausted. Going home for a whole month without school is going to feel so good - I haven't had a break from school in almost a year. I had Christmas break in Germany and went straight from spring semester there right back to fall semester here. So this month-long respite is much-needed.

I plan to spend the break narrowing down my thesis topic and searching for a director. There will also be countless hours spent by the fire reading books, which I am really really really really looking forward to. Oh and of course visiting downtown Seattle to soak up all the Christmasness. Christmas in Seattle is just awesome, it really is. There's just something really great about it, and I can't put my finger on it. Maybe because downtown Seattle is such a great "walkable" city and it's fun to see all the decorations and of course drink lots of coffee while you do it. I am so looking forward to 30/40-degree weather.

I am also going to be switching over all my bank accounts to Bank of America and *drumroll* getting me first credit card. Me is very excited about finally having a credit score. I figure it makes sense to go to BofA since they have the partnership with Deutsche Bank that lets you draw money out of their ATMS without a transaction fee - which is going to be a huge plus for me next time I go back to Germany.

Still haven't heard from the German company I applied with. They asked me to email them my resume and transcript the other day (HR lost them) so I guess that's a good sign which indicates I'm at least still in the running. Other than that, it's all quiet on the summer internship front and I'm going to be getting antsy if I don't hear anything from anyone by January.

I can't believe fall semester is already over. It's crazy. Just one more semester and then it's summer again...one more semester after that and I will be gradumatated. I'll have two Bachelor's degrees. Insanity! Can't wait to get those sheepskins in my hands. College is great and all, but I am definitely ready to be done and get on with life.

Alright, enough rambling. Business Process Improvement, Metrics, and Performance Appraisal await.
