Kitten's Reeview

Kitten jogs into bog and jumps up on the window sill looking out the the sunny afternoon. I can't believe that this week is almost over, its gone by so quickly!

Kitten is rather flustrated at herself. I failed my accounting test{sighs}. I know I need to try harder but sometimes I just get so tired at staring at books. You know, it would be so much easier if I just changed my major to English, but alas, I have come to far to up and change now. So I guess I'll just have to work more.

I have started to read several interesting books, of late. One is the Art of Deception, by Kevin Mitnick. This is about security and social engineer. I'm only to the fifth chapter but it has made me stop and think about the information that I give and take. Is the person I'm talking to really who they are claiming to be? I have heard the term social engineering before but never really knew what it was. Basically, it is getting information from another by pretending your some one that you aren't. I work in an office and I talk to all sorts of people wanting to know this and that. I don't think we have the best security measure in place. The second book is called I Explain a Few Things, Selected Poems by Pablo Neruda. I have read some of this poets work off and on throughout high school but, this new book I bought has a lot more poems that are... well interesting. The book I bought when I was a freshman in High School was one of his first books called Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair. Many of the poems were very explict but there were several like Puedo Escribir and Me Gustas Cuando Callas, that I really liked. I was also interesting to have a more indepth bio on him. I haven't gotten very far and thankfully, it's already transalted. My Spanish is worse then my French. The third book is A Year in High Heels by Camilla Morton. While the other two books are interesting, this one is the most enjoyable read I have had this year. Because of all my silly homework, I have been unable to read not much more then 30 pages but I really just want to catch up to February. The book is section into months and has more then just fashion(found in the fashion and beauty section). It seems there is a little bit of everything for women in here. I will hopefully get to read more over the weekend.

I have a group meeting tonight and I'm not looking forward to it. There is one international student who is from China and I don't think she really understands what we are supposed to be doing. Our Accounting Problem Solving professor split us up into two groups and all we have to do is to present something that we have learned involving Excel. The other group is doing complex formulas. We, on the other hand, are creating two companies and doing a bunch of things to the format of the spreadsheet and adding a command button. For one its too time consuming and for another, how are we supposed to present something this broad and time consuning in 5-10 minutes. I think Maira agrees but we can't tell her no. She obviously put alot of thought into it.

Normally, I like groups but I haven't had the best luck this year. My management group turned out to be a disaster, even though I did get an A. I also have a Business Law group project that is due in two weeks. No one in my group( just three of us again) has contacted me so I guess I'll contact them tomorrow. I would talk to them after class but I have French and need to get straight over to Guerin.

While I do have more to write, I'll have to save it for another day because I need to tidy up my room and get ready for the meeting. I have a four day weekend, so hopefully I'll get caught up with everything.
