Not too bad, not too bad! Of course, that could change next week, but classes so far are manageable and interesting (which matters!) As long as I feel like I’m really learning something and benefiting from my classes, I say that’s a good sign! Personal finance, basic statistical methods for policy and planning, principles of public policy, planning, and health, and working women! My stat class is 4 credits…and I’m still not sure why. There’s not “lab” or extra work (we shall see!). Finance is great! Learning all about budgeting, investing, insurance, and I hope, taxes!
With that, I’ll see you all on the flipside! Can you believe this is the last Finisher of the month? February here we come! Only 28 days too! I’m just trucking along until this dreary winter is over. It hasn’t even been that cold (I know I just jinxed that one!) but the sun has literally disappeared! Boo! Here’s to a sunny weekend where ever you are! xoxo

Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
January 27, 2017 at 2:24 pmI know! It’s like a more “socially acceptable” way to just eat hummus with a spoon, by the bowl full!
Kristina @ MsModify says
