This is Week 6 in Managerial Finance and I just finished and
submitted my Final Project. I’ve spent
all day and much of last night working on this thing. About 14 hours total and I have to say I am
so glad it’s over I could almost go streaking.
Not really, nobody including me wants to see that. Anyways, this is the last assignment in the
last class of my core and to date this class has been the most dreadful of the
lot, perhaps with the exception of Managerial Economics.
Why has the class been dreadful? A host of reasons actually. First I have been going through a ton of life
transitions while in this class.
Secondly this class is the last one of my core requirement and thus I am
getting ants in my pants about finishing.
And lastly this class has easily been one of the two most difficult
course I have ever taken covering material that is completely new to me. I have felt like an alien in a foreign land
much of the time. Learning the language
was the biggest barrier then understanding the concepts came next. Lastly there was the math. Math isn’t the worst thing in the world and
can become not so difficult if you understand what it is you are supposed to be
doing but regardless of all of that, math is always work. Math is never fun.
Next week we start Operations Management. I’ve perused through the text and much of it
appears to be managerial concepts based upon common sense decision making. You know, the kind of questions like “would
you like me to give you $1 or $10?” At
least that is what I am anticipating which would be a nice break because I need
a break at this point. I’m hurting for a
break actually but I’ve been wrong about so many classes to this point it
wouldn’t surprise me to end up neck deep in piranha infested waters again.
Either way cross your fingers for me please. This last assignment is 35% of my grade and
can have a real impact on my GPA. So far
it’s still a 4.0 if you can believe that.
The dream is still alive.
