theslug Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 One of my accounting classes is angering me. We have a homework manager set up that has assignments for the first third of the semester and of course I've put them off until now with 10 days left The reason being is in the begining of the class I did the first 3 and it took me like 5 minutes so I assumed that the rest would be of equal or close to the same level but the difficulty has increased exponentially. For one problem today it took me upwards of 40 minutes. There's a built in function that allows you to see if the answers you've provided are correct without actually grading your submission so that really helps but at the same time when you get something wrong it's like what the hell is going on? For one question I was just sitting there for half an hour trying to recalculate and read through the text to figure it out when I finally just submitted it so I could look at the answer. It was seriously some purposeful tomfoolery afoot on that one. I have my first exam on thursday for managerial accounting. That one I should do fine on. I think I'm going to work out now. There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calax Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Got my ADMJ test out of the way. Geology is tommarrow and I'm worried about that one (mainly because the guy makes the dang things so hard that he curves it almost in half, yes he's got a Doctorate), and Human Development on thursday, then a four day weekend (which isn't big to me because I've got fridays off anyway :shrugs:) Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

taks Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 ^theslug: sounds like my detection and estimation theory class, except that the first three problems were not 5 minutes each. i spent, as i recall, nearly 20 hours a week doing homework not counting study time for tests. we never had more than 4 or 5 problems per assignment, either. oof. taks comrade taks... just because.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I've got an interview later this week, hopefully it will go ok - the job is nothing special, just basic system/network upkeep and stuff like that.

taks Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 i didn't want to start a new topic though this is not really "what i did today"-ish. well, it's what i did a few weeks ago. when we ski copper mountain, we regularly stay in frisco, co. and here's a little article on the town that appeared today. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,490926,00.html unfortunately the article doesn't mention my favorite restaurant, the blue spruce. taks comrade taks... just because.

Calax Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 God I'm happy, just got my first two grades back on tests (in wildly different subjects) and got an A (94%, I could have gotten a 96 if I had remembered to add the death of a fetus to the definition of Murder)in administration of Justice, and a B (85.2%) in my geology class!

Meshugger Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I played with my girlfriend's new laptop, works better and has better specs than her desktop-computer. I also realized that i accidently started to wizzle "Happy Days" while at work. People are starting to think that something is wrong with me. I laughed.

theslug Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I just got back from a presentation for a local accounting firm in one of my classes and now I'm eating about to study for a quick 40 minutes before heading back to school for an exam in my other accounting class and then I'll probably come back home and change for an accounting event dinner thingy tonight. I'm scared because I have to actually network with people which I've never done before and I have to becuase I have to write a 1 - 2 page paper about who I met and what we talked about or something. Not entirely sure what to expect here. :'( There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time.

Deraldin Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I've been splitting my afternoon between data entry and studying for my Intro to Information Systems test this evening. I dunno what to think of this test. It's worth 40% of my mark so it's obviously very important, but at the same time, it's somehow ended up being composed of 80 multiple choice questions. What kind of a test for 40% of my mark is that? It just seems like a test that is worth that much really shouldn't be just multiple choice. I really need to get cracking on the data entry. I've only completed about half of the records for this week that I said I would get done and I've got a status report due tomorrow afternoon.

theslug Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 My managerial accounting exam went pretty well. I know I aced like the first 8 multiple choice and I got most of the journal entries correct but the actual costing scenarios didn't go as well. The first one was stupid hard. I'm not even sure I got any of the points on that one becuase everything I pretty much pulled out of nowhere. The other ones I did much better on except the last question it was activity based costing and I was debating between applying the predetermined overheard rate to direct labor or just applying the $10 an hour labor cost. In the end I just used the $10 an hour for direct labor and hope I'm right. But seriously that first question really threw me off. The questions were quite basic and you can find them out with like x + y - z = w. Well to find Z you have to know w but of course we had to determine that on our own and it just got really complicated and I think I over thought it and I was scared. But now I have to iron my clothes for this dinner thing and I'm really nervous and my hands are literally like -10 degrees but when I get there I'm sure they'll be like -20 degrees and sweating profusely. Going to be awesome. Damn these hands!! There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time.

theslug Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 So I went to this Institute for Internal Auditors shindig thing and it actually went pretty well. I know I claim to be some kind of ruthlessly hopeless social pariah but I think I did pretty stellar. I stirred up some conversation with a very nice and very pretty asian girl from one of my classes and another nice and pretty girl who actually had a twin there as well (I think as a man I'm obligated to put this less I be conceived as gay). I also met a few people from the industry and gained some serious insight into just how much bs the big 4 firms lie through their teeth. I'm actually pretty stoked now. I feel good. This might be a first on this board, but, I'm not angry. Though I do have work tomorrow... Now I'm angry.

I attended some accounting courses for my secondary subject, Industrial Management, and i was quite suprised by the possibilites of evading tax with some clever accounting.
