I have realized that I am a detail freak when it comes to vacations, school,
A farm, which is described as the S 1/2 of the NW 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of section 11, is listed for sale at $350 per acre. Charles made a written offer to buy the land for $6,100. The owner agreed to accept the offer, provided Charles would pay the broker's 10% commission on the offered price. How much less than the listed price did Charles pay for the property? a) $300; b) $290 c) $275; d) $250 and NO this is not fun.. But in order for me not to be completely stressed when I take my exam next month - I need to know this stuff forward and backwards and if studying everyday is going to get me there then so be it....
I am also a detail freak on vacation planning... I am not a "just go with the flow" kind of girl... I believe that "flying by the seat of your pants" vacations can leave out so much... (I'm full of idioms today aren't I?) When I go on vacations I want to see and do as much as I possibly can and still enjoy it... I don't want to rush.. I don't want to think about what to do when I get there.. I want a plan... I NEED a plan....
When I planned this year's summer vacation - I spent hours, days and weeks researching dates.. tours.. hotels... train schedules.. flights... and I have to say - that I am so excited about this summer's festivities.... Some may laugh at my
To have a fun vacation far away from home... research, plan, and take advantage of the early bird special... and believe me - It's All In The Details!
I like to plan vacations too, but partly just because that's half the fun of it!
ReplyDeleteThat question is completely beyond me - good for you for being able to figure it out. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a planner when it comes to vacations too.
That question is definitely beyond me. Good for you for being able to figure it out!
ReplyDeleteI'm a planner when it comes to vacations too.
I need a vacation from planning a vacation!!
ReplyDeleteI want my vacation planned, but I want someone else to do it for me. LOL
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to vacations, I'm just like you. I like them planned from sunup to sundown, from day one to day last!
ReplyDeleteWell, that seals it. I JUST had the conversation with my sister about how she's a planner and I am not. Ironically, I'm a Real Estate agent who doesn't have a clue about the answer to that brokers test question. I hope you'll share it when you do. When I take a vacation I like to wing a lot of it (unless it's price for rooms, airfare, etc)... but you're right .. All the successful people I know are huge planners. Where does that leave me? Wishing I were more so a planner, that's where. Good luck on your test. P.S. I have a wicked step-sister who is an RE agent in Orange County. I wonder if you know her. We haven't been on speaking terms since the 90's because she's a mercenary bitch, but I do hear she's doing very well. LOL,, take care, Keri
ReplyDeleteI am the exact same way! Last year I planned a vacation with my youngest daughter, son in law, grandson and husband. My daughter didn't want to help me at first but then she got all into it. I think everyone would agree we had a great time. I find when you don't plan, you waste too much time trying to figure out what to do.
