Long story, late bloomer (31 F) .. just finished my BA in History & Poli Sci, waiting for conferral. My intention is MAcc at a SUNY school or the accelerated program at UTRGV. Most of my electives in undergrad were business courses, if that helps.

I’ve worked the past 2 years in medical billing handling most aspects of the revenue lifecycle, AP/AR, Collections etc. it’s what led me to accounting actually.

My goals are MA, then the CFE first as somewhere within the fraud/auditing areas is my professional goal. My ultimate career goals are within the government, state or federal.

My question is, am I insane or does this make logical sense? I have *some billing and financial background and I will work towards both the CFE & CPA in time after my masters but I really REALLY want to be an accountant. My brain works well in this environment, at least to what I’ve been exposed to thus far.

Terrified of graduating with another degree that won’t truly help me work and eventually retire lol.

Friends, I’ve just started the Essential Elements for Band Flute Book 1. I’ve been going at it about a week now (still on the first page of the first 5 notes).

I can consistently produce sound, however I’m still sounding very airy and if I try to articulate with tu I end up shooting high and have difficulty getting low tones and even sound. I’m sure that’ll come with time.

However, I’m wondering how you all finger middle C. I don’t mean the actual fingerings but rather where the heck are you putting the rest of your fingers to hold the flute while doing it? lol.

For example my book needs me to go from D to middle C then to Eb and I’m having issues keeping her balanced.

Any other tips are super helpful & appreciated!

*Ive also asked this question on a flute page via FB but it hasn’t been past the mods yet lol.
