This 400 level course is more difficult than I expected. And I thought I had the hang of it prior to taking this course.
What really makes this course that challenging and time consuming is because two out of the four (counting myself as the fourth), two of the members do not contribute much. Well, one does but the other….he should be taking freshmen courses. How does he expect to pass the course if he does not put more hours into his part. And if one member does not put their fullest effort into this project, it impacts all of the members. Consequence? We all earn the same grade, thus a group project. Give me extra weeks and I can complete the 50+ business plan myself.
I’m a bit worried at this point. Our business plan is due in less than two weeks and our presentation is not that far either. Earning an A in this class is impossible for my case and I am striving for that B. But I am content from everything I’ve learned from the lectures and the textbooks. One of the best class I’ve taken at Cal Poly.
Speaking of best, all four classes I am currently taking are worths every hour. I’m excited to attend each lecture and can’t imagine missing one class (with the exception of my alarm clock not functioning properly). Managerial Finance - where have you been all my life! The professor is so good, the one hour and fifteen minutes of lecture is just not enough. I love the subject. I love the textbook and I love inputting PV, I/PY, N, FV, and calculating the PMT in my financial calculator. I’m glad my friend changed his major from Electrical Engineering to Finance. Years from now, I can see myself inquiring him to review and point out problems 0f my company’s future forecast and providing professional advice on how to maximize the current value per share of the existing stock. Hehehe.
I’ve successfully registered all my classes for Winter 2006 quarter. However, I was unable to register for one course that I wanted to take. What worries me is that I’ve heard from a colleague that the course is only offered once per year. Just wow! Something will work out as time progresses, I hope.
Don’t you sometimes get that feeling, you want to learn a new skill but you just don’t have the time to get it going. So much to learn but not enough time in a day, not enough days in a week, not enough weeks in a month, not enough months in a year, not enough years in your lifetime.
First week of November has passed and I am slowly getting somewhere. Many things were clouding in my mind (and I thought I was a simple person) but I realized, it is best to leave behind and just look and think forward. Thinking too much only wastes time and slows down the progress. It is time to find that vision, that dream in life (with God in the picture).
