The February Leap

Today marks the end of February. Not just the usual February with 28 days, it has an extra day because 2008 is a leap year! So-called 'leap' years occur every four years, as a way of getting the solar calendar to sync up with our numeric one. And perhaps this has got to do with the many things that happened this month.

My Retail Business: I'm happy that it has expanded in January and this month I felt ultra-high that I was able to tap some of my former co-workers to become my resellers I've also met new suppliers and friends whose products and services I'm endorsing.

IELTS Project: I've reviewed and tested for the IELTS (International English Assessment Testing System) and just this afternoon, I received my results ---- I got an Overall band score of 7.5 (highest score one may get is 9). I received an 8 in Listening and 7.5 across Reading, Writing, and Speaking. I know I may have done better, but heck I'm very proud of it, considering that I enrolled in a crash review course and took the exam the day after I completed it! I'm now working on the training program for IELTS review, a project my good friend offered me to do.
I'll be conducting it to IELTS reviewers soon!

Graduate School: Major hectic. My Managerial Accounting class final exams on the first week of February was tiring but fulfilling! I got a 3.5 final grade (95 to 97 or Superior), yipeeee!!! I'm now enrolled in Management Dynamics and my goal is to get a great grade as well. Running for a gold medal, tee-hee!!!

Health-Wise: I've lost a total of eight pounds already!!! Yes, yes, I'm gradually getting my groove back and it feels wonderful! 'Lotta sacrifice and discipline, oh yeah!

Overall, February had its highs and lows. The last two weeks has been particularly stressful --- my little princess got sick, work was major toxic, and I've been thinking of a lot of things about what to improve in my career, etc.

Oh well, life must go on! Looking forward to March, my birthday month!
