Cash Budgets

I was freaking out. Here I have my financial management final that I'm doing from home, and my professor asks us to do a cash budget. I did this on a previous test, and it took me forever to get it. I completely forgot how to do it, and so I was searching through my book trying to figure out anything I could.

Of course, the book is one of the worst text books I have ever seen -- it doesn't explain much about anything, and what it does explain isn't explained so people like me can understand.

I finished the exam though. I probably didn't get an A on it, and perhaps I didn't get a B either. I'll be happy with a C though. As a matter of fact, I'll be glad when all my classes are completed!

That reminds me, I got a 90 average for my bowling class. I checked his grading, and a 91 would have gotten me a C for skills. So I'm guessing I have a D. I have to work really hard to ace the exam on Wednesday (which I thought was today since he didn't tell anyone.)

It's been a long day!

Playing with Fire

For one of my classes, I have to use Adobe Illustrator. For one of my projects, I had to do something with translucency. This is what I came up with:

AHHH!!

People Getting Punched

I love this!

It's interesting to think something this stupid could be so funny! I like that little dance he does after punching the second guy. For those who don't know, the star of this short is Andy Samberg. He's not only been featured on Saturday Night Live, but he also played in the movie "Hot Rod" which I loved to death.

Things Are Boring Right Now

I'd like to mention I haven't been working on anything lately because of school. ProSonic hasn't been updated in a while, and the reason is mainly my mood. I'm not in the mood to work on it. I haven't felt like doing much of anything lately. I'm not even in the mood for my classes right now, although I have to attend and do the work. I think my classes are the major contributing factor to my overall mood.

I hate four of the five I am taking. Bowling is the one I love. However business law, financial accounting, webpage design, and computer graphics are all boring! I don't mean a little boring, I mean majorly boring.

I sit in my business law class, and I can't focus. I hate the subject itself, but it doesn't help that my professor is soft spoken and generally very boring. He seems like a nice guy, but he doesn't capture my attention at all. I have a professor who's a bit more energetic in financial accounting, but the subject is of no interest to me. I know how to design a webpage, so the webpage design class is boring. Finally, I have no interest in computer graphics. I generally know how to do the things I need to do with graphics programs, and even then I find no real interst in doing computer graphics. I'd rather be drawing on a sheet of paper.

I'd ask someone to shoot me, but I enjoy life way too much to ask something crazy like that! It'll get better, I just have to get through these classes that I hate so terribly much.

Another Good Semester

I took three classes this summer -- Microeconomics, Consumer Behavior, and E-Commerce. In E-Commerce I got an A. The other two classes I got B's. That bumped my not-yet-great GPA from a 2.423 after the spring semester and a 2.292 after last fall, to a 2.496 cumulative GPA. It continues to go up, which is what I need it to do.

The funny thing about Consumer Behavior is the percentage. I got an 80.00% in the class. According to my professor's grading scale, an 80.00% is a B, but a 79.99% is a C. He doesn't do rounding. What makes this more interesting is I wouldn't have had an 80.00% had I not gotten an extra bonus point on my final exam for pointing out an error in one of the questions. Talk about being lucky!

Anyway, I'm hoping to acheive at least a 2.6 cumulative GPA after this upcoming fall semester. That would require at least two A's and three B's. We'll see if I can meet that goal. I'm feeling really good about college these days!
