I’m finding this quarter’s material in general to be less interesting than the previous two quarters… Here’s the skinny:
- Managerial accounting – We spent 20 minutes talking about y=mx+b. Ouch. Sometimes I miss diff eq… but then I slap myself.
- Macro econ – Interesting discussions but the concepts seem very simple. This might be because I took a macro course back in my undergrad. The most difficult part is remembering things like: environmental regulations came in about 1973 or a possible reason for high GDP growth in the US (and not the rest of the world) is because it was isolated to the IT industry.
- Strategy – Important material. Useful stuff. It just doesn’t seem as interesting as the previous quarter. A lot of reading.
- MCV – Important material. Useful stuff. I just don’t see the thread that connect the entire course together. Yet.
- Finance – Death by excel. Voodoo magic.
I have nothing to report on the job front since the jobs I really want haven’t gotten back to me yet.
This upcoming week is going to suck. We have 3 group assignments due. Now you could say that we’re just slackers and should have gotten to work earlier but allow me to defend my group by saying:
- We don’t get one of the assignments until tomorrow.
- We didn’t get another of the assignments until a few days ago.
- We don’t know how to address the third assignment until this Friday.
Yeah.
