I have to admit, I'm pretty excited. I'm finally on the last chapter of my Financial Accounting text book! After I finish this chapter I will be ready to take my final online exam for this course.
The end of the Financial Accounting course couldn't come soon enough for me. This was probably my least favorite course of all of the courses I have taken through Penn Foster College so far. Not only was it the most difficult for me to get through, but it has dragged down my grade point average, and I just plain don't find accounting an interesting subject. I guess I'm not a number cruncher.
The final chapter of Financial Accounting deals with preparing a statement of cash flows, and it every bit as exciting as it sounds. Once again, the final online exam will be 25 questions, and it deals quite a bit with compiling the statement of cash flows.
After this course, I get a bit of a break with the Economics course, which is basically a Principles of Macroeconomics course. Although this course is much longer than the Financial Accounting course, I predict I will get through it much quicker. Then, it's back to another accounting course: Managerial Accounting.
I have set a goal of being finished with the second semester by the end of September. I then plan to apply to Excelsior College and see just how close I am to finishing my BA. At that point, I will have a decision to make: complete the BA at Excelsior, or move on to Semester Three with Penn Foster College. I guess I'll have to cross that bridge when I get to it.
Trying to actually complete the AS in Marketing through Penn Foster College would not be a bad thing. Despite the accounting course, I am still enjoying my studies with PFC. It will also give me some time to save up the cash to enroll in the graduate program I have my eye on: the MA in Communications, Media and Public Relations at the University of Leicester.
I plan to take my next exam no later than Thursday. Hopefully I'll have a good grade to report!
