I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! It is now about the end of the year and school is winding up. Balancing work and school is now challenging with all the projects and presentations that are due. At work everyone is just as excited for the holidays. The office has been decorated and christmas party plans are already underway. Unfortunately, the party is scheduled during the finals week and I cannot attend. Work has been going on well. On Monday my supervisor has been going through the monthly reconciliations that I do and it was nice to get some feedback. There are some things that I overlooked like the arrangement of detail in one of my reconciliations but because I now know how my supervisor wants to present my work I am able to do a better job for her next time! I am hoping to working two to three times a week so that I can focus on my studies more during the finals week.
