The financial Hell Class is finally over

As I sit here finishing up my take home final, I am overcome with contentment. This had to be the most trying class I have ever taken. I am sure that some people think that this should be easy. It is NOT. Maybe for some people but for me an the way I think cognitively, it was excruciating and gave me migraines to crunch all the numbers.
Let's see.. I have to get up so early and I am not looking forward to that. I can't wait to get this week over with, it has been a hellish week.

This class does have a couple perks though:
1. Bonds
2. Stocks
I learned more about investing. Which is something that I plan to do in the near future so that my financial stability is more up to par.

And people wonder why I hate math!

So for some reason I am required to take Financial Analysis for Managers for my Degree Program. I am going to go insane! I have always been bad at math and this is none other than an accounting math class. It is hard enough for me to apply basic concepts of math, but this class is all about Financial Statements, debit and credits, the SEC, the basic concepts of accounting all over. It is really frustrating for me to have to take this class because I am having a hard time understanding it. Which is why I am not majoring in something that requires an extensive amount of math.

Anyways, this is my little rant for the day. I have such a headache...

Peace!

What is up with school these days?

So, at The University of Phoenix we are put into groups in each class as well as having our own individual assignments. As usual we get stuck with people that we don't always mesh well with. One person in particular in my group is an A type personality. She likes to be in charge of everything. Very anal and to the point and just completely rude. I guess she had a good reason because I missed our online meeting today because I passed out on the my bed today because of my work week and lack of sleep. I took my meds and fell asleep. Anyways, she wrote me this long email about how I miss our online meeting and how she was worried that I was dropping the class and if so to let her know so she could prepare to do the workload. Here I am thinking, what the fizzle? You have my number, you couldn't call me?

Anyways, I apologized and told her that I have tomorrow off (by email) and that it was a miscommunication.(I would have called her and told her but it was way too late by the time I got her email.) Which it was because they were communication on the University website and not via our personal email as it was originally discussed in the beginning. So, now my group is all irritated and I am left to deal with them for three more weeks. So, here I am thinking, GREAT!
