Introduction to the Accountant (Tech Tip: Embedded in Youtube)

The Accountant Official Trailer #1 (2016) - Ben Affleck Movie HD

Hey everyone,

My name is Logan Lambert (as you can probably tell from my blog) and I am a junior, accounting major at OU. I don't know if there is one particular exciting thing about my major (most people would say none), but for some reason it is enjoyable to me. I've been fortunate with my accounting professors thus far and hope that streak will continue! A few of my hobbies include golfing, working out, fishing, various other sports (basically anything outside), reading, and hanging out with friends/family. I played golf throughout high school and was lucky enough to find the golf club at OU, which I decided to join. Golf is also how I met my current roommate who is on the actual OU Golf Team. The reason I enjoy working out and being outdoors is because it is a huge stress reliever for me. Whether it is running in the morning or relaxing outside on campus, I love to take those leisure times throughout the week.

A newfound hobby of mine would also have to be cooking. After being in college for a few years, I have had to learn how to fend for myself when it comes to eating. Now that I am accustomed to doing so, it is a challenge to me to see if I can make acceptable food on a college budget. I try to expand out of the box, but mostly stick with what I know such as chicken or shrimp (not quite Bobby Flay standards).

This past summer I was introduced to a series of books called The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. It quickly became my favorite series as I tore through them in my spare time (all day). They may not be for everybody, but I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new series to start. As far as music goes, I basically listen to anything under the sun. I love to use Spotify to search for less popular music to see if I can find songs that are somewhat diamonds in the rough. Along with the music I listen to, I try to learn some of the songs on guitar. I wouldn't say I am very good, but when I'm actually able to play a song and someone else guess what it is, I feel a great sense of accomplishment.

My biggest accomplishment last semester would have to do with an internship with KPMG (accounting firm). I was extremely ecstatic to receive an offer from them, but it was also a great accomplishment for me because it forced me outside of my comfort zone. I had to attend receptions, interviews, dinners and things of that sort in order for the firm to make their decision. I hadn't ever been exposed to such situations before, so it took a great deal of learning and accepting (the stress) for me to become comfortable. Although I'm not perfectly relaxed in those types of situations, it taught me a lot, which is a big reason as to why I would consider it a top accomplishment from last semester.

Hopefully this semester will bring even bigger and better accomplishments!
