Studying Corporate Finance 3.4.18

Even as I type this beginning shpeil I had planned on studying the very finance I'm talking about in this post. But. Spoiler alert! I finished the chapter! A couple days later, but still. And now I'm working on the exercises at the end that we work on during class time....BEFORE we even discuss them in class!  Geez...look at me! Lol.

So, I made notes the other night while I was studying finance because I was having such a hard time and thought this would make it a bit lighter hearted for me, and maybe encourage me to read more because I would have to tell you all about it! (Even though noone knows about me and my blog yet) Without further adew...(adu? adoo?? adieu? Hey, I think that last one is the right one!)

3:30. Reading. Typing chapter notes. Ah man…how many pages left? 24?! What?!

Maybe there are videos for this…youtube. Hmm…these are an hour long. Maybe not so much. 

What about coursehero, maybe there’s something on there with my course and instructor. Never mind. Typing up at the bottom of my chapter notes all this blogging stuff. Helpful to studying, huh?

Youtube again...video: hmm, no fun pictures, dry....bored.  Need some water.

Water in hand. Sit back down at desk pouting like a child. I don’t want to read, its so boring. And I’ve only read 2 pages, and there’s lots of graphs and figures.  Geez.

Ok, forget the videos (close youtube). Just read it quick and focus. Okay!! (determined)

10 minutes later. Doing good… keep it up! Just read quickly and get the important stuff….

30 mins later. 10 pages down (total in the chapter, minus the 3 or so I had read before), sweet. Is this going to do any good? Maybe I’m studying the wrong stuff. I wish I knew what he was going to talk about. Oh wait, I have the PowerPoint that he reads from in class. But sometimes he does different things, and the exams are book based I think, so maybe I should just keep going and get ‘er done. Yep. That’s it. (again, determined)

Read 3 lines, texted best friend about starting this blog. Typed about texting about it. Haha. Reading some more.

5 minutes later. Okay, its 5:34. 34 minutes later than I told my husband I would start dinner. I’ve got 15 pages left I can skim through after dinner and hopefully get the chapter finished tonight and be ready for his dumb, useless lecture tomorrow. 

I hope this air purifier is going to work (my neighbors smoke and it stinks up my study-it sucks bad. I think its weed, but I don’t know what any of that stuff smells like so I can’t be sure. I hate living by other people!) Off to make dinner. (5:41)

8:30 Yum. Pizza pockets with homemade empanada dough.  So good!! Hopefully I don’t fall asleep.

9:25 wanna stop and go to sleep. I still have 9 pages to go. There really isn’t that much reading in there either. Uggghhh… gotta finish!! 

Nope. 9:51. Wanna go to bed now. Not done yet, but I’m ok with how far I got.

Next day around 10:30 am after class: 

Confession: the very brief lecture Mr. Professor gave on the finance chapter made more sense than if I hadn’t read it. Ugh. I hate it when people are right. And I got a C on the exam 2, his curve added 8 points, so in general I did better than last time!  YAY! Just imagine how I’ll do if I actually study before he lectures about it. Fingers crossed!

Off to the dentist to get a temporary crown put on one of my back teeth. boo

This finance class is kicking my butt. But we'll get through it. 

Hmm. I feel like every post needs a picture, but I don't know what to put here. Sorry all!
