#23 THE JR CORE
*Confession: This is totally from when I was taking my
final pre-req for the Jr. Core - not from the actual Jr. Core.

Now this may come as a surprise to many, but I really am grateful for the Jr. Core. For those of you who may not know what that is, it's the year of the Accounting program I am currently in at BYU. And yes, I did just capitalize it.
I have honestly never felt so stressed, overwhelmed, frustrated, inadequate, and just overall failure-like as I have since the first day of the Jr. Core. It is so incredibly hard and I am so not faring as well as I would have hoped. But at the same time, I have also never felt so confident and proud of myself. I am doing things that I swore I'd never be able to do. The things that used to scare me to death and that I had to force myself to do are now things that I do without even thinking about it. And I'm not just talking about accounting. Though I am quite proud of the fact that I understand pensions - a few days ago I was sure that would never, ever, ever happen.
This program has already changed my life. I am not the same person I was a few months ago. Part of that is from other sources/circumstances in my life, but a good portion of it is due strictly to this fantastically trying program. I still may not love it (and I complain A LOT about it), but I am definitely so grateful for it.

Caits, you will do well....keep up the hard work and it will come. Heck, I made it through and you a way smarter than I was. I am sure you mom will agree:)
Aw. Thanks Pops. But I'm not smarter than you D-Daddy.
I actually hate the jr core. It stole my best friend. Just sayin. Although, if it hadn't something(one) else would have anyways hehe
