School Update

I haven't written much about my school status lately. So here's an update.

This summer session which runs from July 14 through Aug 14. My class is named Managerial Accounting and is an introductory accounting class looking at things from the business owner's perspective with major emphasis on manufacturing companies. Our CPA firm has very few manufacturing clients and our focus is primarily accounting for tax preparation purposes, so much of what we are covering is new to me. However, the concepts are very easy for me to understand. My co-worker says I think like an accountant. The vast majority of the students appear to be in their early 20's and just beginning to consider accounting principals in general. Therefore I feel very much out of place. However, I am learning and feel like it is preparing me for the Advanced Managerial class I plan to take in the fall as I begin the graduate class work. The class is scheduled to meet Mon through Thur from 6:00 PM to 8:50 PM. I need to leave work between 5 and 5:30 to get there on time. Fortunately, he has not made us stay the full time yet. Much of the time we end up getting out by near 8:00 and sometimes earlier.

At any rate the teacher is quite the character. I so wanted to take his picture tonight. He was leaned back in his chair with his feet propped up on the table he uses as a desk. I thought how I wish I could take his picture to show all of you. My camera was in my purse, but I wasn't sure how I would explain taking his picture like that. He is bald, wears blue jeans and a button up shirt with the shirt tail out. Sometimes he wears flip flops and sometimes he has slippers. He has a very dry sense of humor and is ALWAYS making stupid jokes and sarcastic remarks. He affectionately refers to our class as Vacation Accounting School. He gives people every effort to make good grades. Tonight's test had 25 possible bonus points. So I could potentially make 125. I will be disappointed in myself if I make less than 110. I made 102 on the last test because he gave a 2 point curve. I really don't think I have much to worry about on this one. BUT I am still reading the book and trying to gain as much information as possible.

Now, by the time Thursday gets here, I'm running out of steam since I get up early and study and then go to work, then school, and then home. I have to have some blogging time.

Well, good night all.
