Almost there, seriously

I cannot count it the holidays until I have finished my final, final for the Fall semester. We have a finance final and international business (IB or Idiot Broad) final on Saturday, December 16!!!!



Have I mentioned how much I despise my IB teacher. She makes me crazed. We have to prepare three case studies over the course. This is a 10 week course. Three case studies, a mid-term and final is a tad excessive. Worse yet is that IB complains about how BUSY SHE IS. Hello???? You teach TWO classes. Two identical classes. Do not complain because you find reading 63 various versions of the same papers boring, especially when you have to do this three times because you ASSIGNED them. Dolt!



But the best was that she returned our latest paper. I got a big old smiley face on mine. Oh, joy. So, when I got it home, I put it on the fridge.

The problem is that this class is such a waste of time. She has given us assigned seats by first name because she was going to give us credit for participation . . . oh, that is too hard so she is not doing that either.


Finance on the other hand is super fabulous!! Go ahead, ask me about NPV!!! This prof gives us a test every week . . . one or two problems. Of course, one of the problems this past Saturday took two pieces of paper. But I know NPV (in case you are wondering the NPV of an annuity is PMT[1-1/(1+r)n/r] . . . yeah and I didn't even look in the book for it . . . of course, I'm dreaming this stuff. It is so sad.

On the upside of things, it is all coming to an end. I've am getting to the finals . . . and not just the tests. This was the FINAL Fall semester I will register for. This will be the FINAL Christmas that I spend Sundays studying instead of making Christmas cookies.

It is amazing. After 32 years (with a major break), I am down to the final FINALS.
