I have completed my spreadsheet for my final economic report in Quantitative Methods. The good news is that in a worst case scenario, even if I receive a 0% for this week I will still pass the class. The bad news is that I just ordered my book for Managerial Economics and it was over $150.00, ouch! I am really looking forward to Christmas break and just relaxing a little bit, with some turkey, dressing and no pending homework. I'll probably start to get antsy again in the 2nd week of the break, but I'll try to stay calm, knock back some eggnog and maybe even smoke a celebratory cigar.
Managerial Economics from what I have been told is where I will start to see some statistics come into play. After this class I really don't have the fear of statistics that I did before. Nope, now I have a brand new fear, Financial Management with all of the worst parts of Algebra with some money thrown in for good measure. Okay so perhaps that is a bit of an exaggeration but after completing quantitative methods I have discovered that I actually like accounting, I can tolerate economics and statistics and I hate finance. That's what school is all about though, learning and self discovery. Perhaps I'll begin to like finance a bit more as I learn some more about it and get good at it.
By the way, to anyone considering Financial Management I strongly recommend a scientific calculator that lets you see the formula you are entering on the screen even after you get the answer. When you are up at 3AM and starting to second guess your equations when you enter the answer you can just take a quick second glance and rest easy. Though last night I found myself entering the wrong equation on at least 3 different occasions, perhaps finance at 3AM is just a bad idea all around.
