Thank God it’s Friday

Dang, these weeks seem to get longer and longer as the summer gets closer. I’m ready to just finish up these courses and put what i’ve been learning to use in my internship.

Yesterday, I had a final exam for our 2-unit Managerial Accounting and that joint was a BEAST! I think it is partially my own fault that I found it to be difficult because I didn’t have time to put in enough time studying for it because of all of my other class work. I did spend all day hitting the books for it and I felt somewhat comfortable with the material, but the questions just hit us all out of nowhere. I asked several of my classmates about how they thought they did and everyone was thikning that they bombed it. THANK GOODNESS for our grade non-disclosure policy because it makes it so that we can actually focus on internalizing the material instead of simply cramming it in to do well on a final. While there are people who are trying to get the highest marks in every class, I know that’s not how I’m trying to carry it, so I’m just chillin’ and getting a lot of learning done in all of these classes. Surprisingly, I was really diggin’ that Managerial Accounting class because the professor was a riot and I found the course content to be much more important and applicable than I expected. After thinking that this would be my last Accounting course ever at the GSB, I am actually considering taking one or two accounting electives next school year.

Now that this Accounting course has finished, I’ve got the brand new Technology in Markets course starting on Monday afternoon. I’m really excited about this because tech is like homebase for me and the course professor is a really good teacher. Hopefully, I’ll get a chance to provide as much learning input for others in the class as I’ll get from them. Given my background and my interest in Technology, I should absolutely murder this course and get an H in it, but I may just fall back a little and use the second half of the quarter to put more effort into my other classes as I move into the home stretch toward the end of the quarter. We’ll see how that goes…

Starting tomorrow afternoon, we’ll be having our second Admit Weekend and those of us on the committee have been working really hard to put on a good event for the folks who are coming. i’m excited to see all of the admits come because they all have so much energy and enthusiasm that it re-energizes me for several days afterward. Last time around, I was able to meet a lot of really cool cats who check out this blog regularly and it was interesting to hear their perspectives on the things that I write…I wonder if any of the folks coming this weekend also read this joint. Anyways, I’ll be sure to put a summary of how it all went down in a few days.
