I guess I only have time to blog once a week now. It has been so busy!! I feel like I&#8217;ve been saying that for the past 3 years hoping I could stop saying it soon and it never seems to happen!

It has been so busy!! I feel like I&#8217;ve been saying that for the past 3 years hoping I could stop saying it soon and it never seems to happen! Anyway, I COULD NOT WAIT to get home, edit a photo, and blog tonight. I actually go through a withdrawal when I&#8217;m disconnected from all of this even for just a short period of time. And then once I go back to it, it feels like paradise. It&#8217;s actually a drug.<\/p>\n<p>More than anything, I&#8217;m constantly fascinated by the human ability to learn and adapt; how you could be thrown into something completely foreign and incredibly scary (at first) but after some time, you become familiar with it, it becomes a part of you, it&#8217;s no longer scary, and becomes the new norm and any old thing. Like freaking out at the beginning of a Finance course and not knowing what the hell is going on and then 12 weeks later, finishing the exam victoriously. Or moving to a new country where no one speaks English but&#8230; you figure it out. Or having a baby and figuring it out. Or buying your first home and figuring it out. Or breaking off a long term relationship and figuring it out. Anyone else fascinated by our ability to just&#8230; figure it out? :) I suppose the key is how quickly you can figure things out and adapt.<\/p>\n<p>We played some jeopardy at work today. I suck at it. :) Chris is amazing at it. Where does one acquire all of that useless knowledge? :P<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I have an eventful weekend ahead, so I&#8217;m super excited. Tomorrow I am meeting my 601 group for lunch; we&#8217;re getting the &#8220;storming and norming&#8221; stages out of the way before September kicks off our capstone course of the MBA program. Then I&#8217;m off to a BBQ with old friends. Then double dates on Sunday. :) Happy weekend!! <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/64.91.231.52\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/05.23.14f.jpg\" alt=\"05.23.14f\" width=\"810\" height=\"540\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15286\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/05.23.14f.jpg 810w, http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/05.23.14f-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":null,"protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.2.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Friday!!! - Charlene Precious Co.<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/friday-may-23-2014\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Friday!!! - Charlene Precious Co.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I guess I only have time to blog once a week now.
