So I've been doing these accounting classes on Sundays since September, Labor Day 2011... and I'm on my 7th class and I'm just getting tired of it. It's loads and loads of new math information coming at me fast each week and I have 4 weeks to get it solidly in my brain before taking a final and then it's on to the next class and the next load of information. And I was bummed about my last class. I thought I did better than I actually did on the final which I had been counting on bringing my grade up a little higher. So far I've gotten 3 B's and 3 C's and I had been hoping that last one would be a B so I was disappointed in my grade and my estimation of my comprehension. So now we're on Accounting Information Systems which was supposed to be the 'easy 'a'' class and turns out to have more homework and quizzes than expected and to be a little harder than anticipated- so I'm studying (obviously currently taking a 5 minute break) and some of it is perfectly clear and easy- and some of it is definately NOT- I swear in all my years of work I haven't ever had to do a flow chart for the process- well, I had to do one for manufacturing process- but not for the internal accounting, sales, warehouse process- I don't know anyone who has and damn there are loads of symbols that I can't seem to find on my Microsoft Word though the professor assured us they were there and the email that I spent two days going back and forth with scu it to get out of their system- (it was a really dumb issue after all) does not say how to get them and that' the whole reason I struggled to get the email because I thought he was sending us the symbol info... dammit.
On a lighter note- Rob just left to go camping with his favorite brewery and won't be back until Sunday when I'm in school. On the one hand I'm glad he's going off to have a good time. On the other hand- it's been a busy week and I've barely seen him and will miss him especially since we usually spend time together on Saturdays- on the other hand- yes many hands- I can study better and more without him around - on the other hand- had a flat on Monday and am a little paranoid about him being out of town if I think I might have car troubles since there aren't people I can call early in the morning for rescue if something goes wrong on the way to school on a Sunday. Feh- back to the books.
