That’s precisely what my world feels like these days. It’s almost unbelievable how quickly time has all of a sudden started flying by and I can’t catch my breath! My actuarial exam and my Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk are both happening within the next week and I feel like I still have so much to do!
This year, the walk starts on Halloween. I was planning on coming home Friday night so that I could see MM and her friends. I was going to let her go around with them on her own this year. I mean, really….why would I walk 20 miles then come home and walk 2 more? I know I’m a little left of center, but not that much! But, EP has to work Friday, so I will be celebrating Halloween with a few hundred of my closest walking buddies. I’m kind of worried about how I will do this year because, if it’s even possible, I did less training this year than I did either of the two previous years. Um, that would mean I didn’t train.
So don’t mind me if I’m really bitchy next week! It’s also going to be cold this year. For you northerners, that means it will be below 80 here!!! That’s practically Antarctic! *brrrrr*
And yes, my exam is Monday. So, as if walking 60 miles in 3 days isn’t crazy enough in and of itself, I decided “Eh, what the hell, let’s throw an actuarial exam into the mix!” I am still on Exam C. That means Actuarial Models. I have been dreaming about deductibles, lognormal stock prices, Black-Scholes formulas. It’s enough to make the sanest person insane and I already have a headstart!
The light at the end of the tunnel is that I will get to start focusing on my wedding planning in earnest once Monday is past. I need to update everyone on all the goodies I have bought, the ideas my friends have helped me come up with and how far EP is behind on his duties (that would be 2 items! :-P)…
So, if you dont’ hear from me until sometime next week, I’m not dead. Well, maybe, but it’s only because I brought it on myself. But, just to keep you interested, I’ll tell you about the 5 free bars of Ghirardelli chocolate I received last week when I get back! Jealous?!?!?! ![]()
Stumble it!
I'm a 30-something mother and fiancee (soon to be wife). I live in Florida with my family where I am an Actuarial Analyst and Girl Scout Leader. My involvement in the Breast Cancer 3-Day is by far the best time I have ever had!
