Finance

Sometimes I am so absolutely sick of being a college student I could spit bile across big huge rooms.  I am currently in a finance class that is kicking my behind.  I am just not good with formula’s and numbers.  It’s insane.  I am more of a creative person than a hardcore factual person. 

Yes…sometimes I seriously consider chucking it…but thankfully those moments are temporary and they pass quickly.

I mean….I’ve already put 2 ½ years of my life into this venture.  I’m not throwing all of that away.  But this course will certainly not garner me an A.  I’m sure of it.  Even though after the first week I have a perfect score….I can tell you it’s not going to stay that way.  And honestly I’m ok with that….I know these are not my strong points.  I just prefer to get those easy A’s over struggling to feel like I’m passing. 

It could be worse tho’…I could be the one outside cutting the backyard with a pushmower in 85 degree weather that feels like 91 at 10:30 in the morning on a Sunday. poor guy…….

TEC/401

Cumulative Score:
100/100 (100%)

You hit upon the major issues of Value Chain analysis, user involvement, and managng change and did it well. You did a really nice job piecing together the different aspects of the class into the final paper. (<---teacher commentary)

In the middle of everything that is going on.  New job, health procedures, new house, etc.  I am STILL maintaining a perfect score in my current course that I am over halfway through.  It started on 5-15-07.  I’m proud of myself, as always. 
I believe if you don’t celebrate your own successes, who will?
