Economics passed

Around last week we got our grades for economics, so that means that I passed the 2nd term :O)


Since the last update, financial accounting is done, we had the last exam last Wednesday and went straight into corporate branding and change management after.
Not without a deserved break to the local student bar "Nexus" however. ;O)

Mid term exam passed today

As the title states, I passed the mid term exam in financial accounting today :O).
We have 1 more set of homework for Friday, were we will also recieve the annual report we have to analyze for the final exam. So I can already foresee how my weekend is going to be: Saturday studying at home and Sunday studying at school.
But hey the weather is really bad anyway so it is easy to stay inside and read.

FA tasks

They were not kidding when they said financial accounting would be intensive :)
It is fun however! Who would have thought that.
Maybe that explains my love for Excel sheets?

Anyways, I am well happy with the first set of tasks done, ready to be handed in tomorrow morning. I think the trick is to work in small groups 2-3 otherwise things take too long.

I am actually looking forward to the next batch already ;O)
Tomorrow is class from 0900-1215, then reading all afternoon, then start on accounting tasks after dinner.
Thursday I plan on working on tasks all day and night.

Ah but for now it is time to relax.

Back to life.

Term 3 started today and it is a bit hard to get back into the groove after the X-mas vacation.
Good thing is that the new topic Financial Accounting seems to be very interesting and very well organized.
The book is pretty good, it is very understandable and the most attractive book I have seen on such a topic yet.
The course seems well planned with the final grade divided between 3 activities: Home assignments, mid term test and final exam. Quite nice actually.
The home assignments really keeps you up to speed in that respect this course feels like Management Accounting.
There is a lot to do and read however, but things will start flowing once I get back into the habit of studying again.

Tomorrow it is group work and Wednesday the first graded assignments have to be delivered at 0900.
Mid term test is next Monday (I believe) and the final exam is January 20th.
Talk about hitting the ground running :O)
