Exams

So, final exams are Friday, Monday and Tuesday (for me). Accounting, Journalism, and Marketing, respectively. Pending on the final grade of my project, I got a solid B+ in the Advertising/Public Relations class. That'll be fine. My GPA really hinges on my Accounting grade for some reason. I don't actually understand it, but somehow no matter if I get A's or B's in the rest of my classes, the only grade that makes a difference is between a C+ or a B- in Accounting.

So, clearly I should be studying right now instead of blogging. Well, I'm making muffins. Also, she (being my accounting teacher) put out a study guide... which upon closer inspection and adding a dose of logic, I think she basically put out the exam without actually 'putting out the exam'. To explain, this study guide is a list of all the "concepts" from each chapter that we have to know, but it's very, very specific (ie. Chapter 2, what the cost of goods manufactured number represents). There are also only 41 things on this listed outline. She said there was only going to be about 40 questions on the exam. She also said that to study anything other than what's on the study guide to be a waste of time. Basically, all I have to do is go through this list and I pretty much think that each question she put on the exam is coming directly derived from this outline. And so, honestly, if I don't do well on this test it's either because I'm completely wrong about this, or I didn't study.

The other two exams are going to be ... well saying cake might be an over statement. However, the Journalism mid-term I got a 94 on. The final isn't cumulative, but the only thing that I'll need more than common sense and listened to lectures to get correct is the legal jargon from chapter like 13 or something. So, that'll be easy.

Marketing final, who knows. It's cumulative. She didn't give us a study guide or anything, but I know I can get a B in that class as long as I look over the old notes and read the chapters out of the book. It won't be that bad. I can do that over the weekend anyway.

So, smells like the oven is done pre-heating. Time to feed the self and get started on this. Funny how I was expecting hours and hours of study time, but 41 questions answered is going to be pretty self-explanitory.

Side note: The cats are fighting through a locked door. Stupid animals. They hate each other. Actually no, Isabella (Nick's cat) is just a bitch. Honestly. You'll just walk by her and she'll take a bite out of your ankle for no reason. She hates being pet. Scruffy (Roxanne's cat) used to come in my room and sleep with me sometimes, but now he doesn't because Isabella is on this side of the house. Anyway, muffins!
