December 2017: Week 5

Here we are in Week 5 of the December 2017 Semester!!!  Happy New Year!!

I have been vastly behind with posting here to let everyone know of my journey. I will try to be better.  I am taking two of the last classes required for my degree. Providing that I pass these, I will only have two more classes to graduate with my Bachelor's of Accounting!!!

I am taking Advanced Accounting I and International Business. This is my third attempt at Advanced Accounting I.  Hopefully, third time is a charm. 

The semester is already 1/4 over so let's crack into it.  I have a total of 959 pages to read which averages out to 80 pages a week (80 / 7 = 12) or 12 pages per day. I have not been doing very well with this as there has been many obstacles that I have let get in my way. Surgery, holidays and procrastination are not my friends.  No time for excuses, I must catch this up. I have 56 days left and need to still read 952 pages.  Averaging (952 / 56 = 17 pages) 17 pages per day.  This is manageable as long as I push myself to do the reading as well as the written work that is required.

I am also slightly behind in my work for class. I have 2 papers that must be submitted soon.  I have been keeping up on my discussion forums.


Weekly Rundown
  1.  Accounting of my reading.  Keep in mind that I must read at least 12 pages per day, for a total of 80 pages per week.
  2.  I will show my grades in my classes as I have them
  3. I will post the past week’s schedule so that you know where I stand thus far. Keep in mind that I the item is in green then it is complete.
  4. I will post the current week’s schedule so that you know what I’m faced with.

July 2017 Semester: End Week Seven

Here we are at the mid-point for my semester.  I have been super busy an can honestly say that I am caught up on the homework at this point; however, not on the reading. It will be a short introduction this week since we have a fair bit of ground to cover.

Let's get started.

Weekly Rundown
  1. Accounting of my reading.  Keep in mind that I must read at least 13 pages per day, for a total of 91 pages per week.
  2. I will show my grades in my classes as I have them.
  3. I will post the past week’s schedule so that you know where I stand thus far. Keep in mind that if the item is in green then it is complete.  If the item is blue then it is as complete as I am able to finish.
  4. I will post the current week’s schedule so that you know what I’m faced with.

My reading has been atrocious. I hope to get back on top of it in the coming days. I have only read 15% of the total needed for the semester.  If my reading were up today then I would have read 58%.  This is most definitely an area that must be improved.  

My grades have changed considerably since I last posted. Please keep in mind that my midterm grades are tentative. This is only part of the grade.  They will be updated once the complete exam is graded.

The grades are on the way up. I have turned in several other assignments and just waiting on the grades to post. Next up, we will look at the weeks past and the future week to come.  

I hope to post more often. I always start with good intentions and then life throws me a curve ball.

Have a great week!
