I've got Basic Econometrics on 9th, Investments on 10th and Intro Personal Finance on 18th. They sound so kiddie when I type it out like that but somehow I've never been scared over any exams in uni. I think it's because if't the first time I'm not doing an IT subject, which usually eases my anxiety a bit and makes me feel slightly more confident, and also the first time all my subjects have lots of maths and calculations involved. So this time, I have absolutely no confidence at all, especially for BE. Why is something titled "Basic" so hard? I suspect that the subject is not difficult but the lecture notes are just too indecipherable. For my first 2 assignments I had to rely back on my QM2 notes for my assignments and I really struggled for the last one when it's not in the QM notes. Somehow I thought after mysteriously acing QM2 statistics would never be a pain again for me. Couldnt be more wrong... sigh
In almost every exam prep of exam I've ever had, there had been moments when Im totally engrossed in what Im reading even feel a tiny bit of love for the subject. Dear Business Communications, had we met in other circumstances we might have a real romance, it's too late now and exam is making me hate you, but it's me not you. Up till now I hadnt have such a moment which makes me rethink whether I really should be doing this major. Studying for Investments left me with little love for finance. I honestly cannot imagine myself doing a job in this sector, provided I can get a job in the first place. I hope things will be clearer next semester when most of my subjects are informatics.
Anyway, dint get much done today. The whole day was spent half heartedly trying to finish off Portfolio Performance Evaluation but it's just not going into my head. I always cant get serious until it's too late. My rail tickets just arrived in the mail but right now even the France trip doesnt sound so enticing because it's going to be 6hrs of classes everyday. I know I dont deserve it but I just want a break.
exam,
