Checking In

So, It's been  little while since I had a chance to write up here on the blog. I've had so much going on. Here's the quick updates:

  • Moved to Santa Clara and started work at Ernst and Young.
  • Assigned to the IMAS team in Palo Alto, and worked on some big and small accounts doing data analytics and journal entries tie outs.
  • Experienced three full weeks of training, including the last week of RAS (Risk Advisory Services) or now known as AS (Advisory Services) training.
  • Taught about business and community at a local elementary school (2nd graders).
  • Spent time learning about myself and what I am truly capable of.

Overall, it's been a wonderful few weeks. I've been having a lot of fun and learning more and more about myself. That's the best part. EY has turned out to be a great fit for me so far, and I've actually enjoyed all the people and work that I've been doing. That's the most exciting part, considering that I've committed to them full time after graduation.

I've also been looking at apartments here in Santa Clara, including some called Orchard Glen (Orchard Glen Website). I really liked them. They are great apartments, and include washer/dryer, laminate hardwood, granite, and new appliances. They run about $1600/month, which is my reality here in San Jose. But it's beautiful. However, if anyone has any knowledge of something else available for January here, let me know!

I have a friend coming in this weekend, and I'm heading to see The Dark Night on Saturday night. I saw Wanted, which was a great movie, and have also seen Get Smart and Hancock. I really need to get my reviews of those up.

Anyway, thanks to all that read. I'm going to get more ritualistic about this again. So expect more soon.
