My first Blog

Reading my brothers advice, he should really write a book or something.

I wish I was as smart as he is, and I try so hard to be a fraction of the accountant that he is; with little prevail. :)

I started at an accounting firm this week, replacing my soccer time with internship time, and in a week replacing my life time with 55 hour weeks. What was I thinking?

Well I guess, it all started when I saw that there were recruiters for this accounting firm last year at business fraternity meetings. To me, this place was "it". I had heard so many fantastic things about "working" there, but didn't realize that it wasn't coming from my big brother. Instead it was coming from the gasps and ahhs of where my brother worked. So, I went for it.

I wake up when its dark and come home when its dark. What a wierd experience, and we haven't even started auditing!

We learned the first steps to the audit today: the accounting system. It was a 100 page manual about a computer system that is more advanced that anything I have ever seen in terms of compatibility. It connects EVERYTHING on windows together, anything you wish from excel to outlook. Crazy. I have so much to do I don't even know where to start, the best part is that I can even count hours I work at home!! Still, all I did tonight was eat dinner WATCH USC kick ass and then go to bed. I can't get online for deloitte yet so I can't do all the extra work needed. Can I remind you this is the first week?!

Well, go figure that I run after my family and be the overachieving accountant like the rest of em, but this will not be my life forever. It has taught me though to continue to work really hard and be really nice, because it will pay off in the end.

Gonna go to bed now, have to get up at 6.

NIGHT!! DMB3
