October 2016 Semester and Catching Up

I have not posted here on the blog in about a year. That was not intentional. In the time that I was gone, many things have changed. I changed jobs earlier this year. I know work for Capital One in the Fraud department. I have continued with my classes. I have had many struggles with keeping on task and even with finishing some classes.

Here is a run down of the classes I have taken since June of last year.

Accounting 201  -  B
Business Law  -  B
Principles of Managment - B
Microeconomics - B
Computer Concepts - B
Accounting 202 (1st Attempt) - Not completed (F)
Strategic Management  - Not completed (F)
Accounting 202 (2nd Attempt) - Not completed (F) - Actually worse than the first
Finance - C
Accounting 202 (3rd Attempt) -B

My current semester, I am taking two classes:
Advanced Accounting (ACC - 401)
Cost Accounting (ACC - 303)

My goal is to motivate myself by utilizing my blog again. I felt as though writing blog entries that did help with my accountability of completing work. I am a bit behind in my reading as well as my assignments.  So, this past Monday started the 5th week of these classes. I will attach the schedules for each week. (Green denotes that the work has been turned in).  Week 1 is completed.

Success is not accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.

Almost Midterms Again!

Hello,

It has been a while since I posted. I have been super busy with work, school, family and life.  Week 5 of this semester just ended and now I am in full swing of Week 6.

I have kept up really well on the assignments, a couple have been turned in slightly late. I am right on target for assignments and grades thus far which makes me very proud. However, the reading for each class is still behind. For this module alone in Business Law, I have six chapters to read. This would not be so daunting but they have to be read before the end of next week, which is midterm week. I have midterms on 7-16 through 7-18.  I am nervous because of the struggles that I have when taking a midterm or test in general.

I am learning a lot this semester in accounting. More about the differences between GAAP and IFRS.  Law is a fun class since that is what I wanted to be when I was a kid (a lawyer). And management is slightly easy, this is because the class I took last semester is a harder class in the management field that the one I am taking now.  It is easy to apply the knowledge from last semester into this class.

My grades have been doing well.

Management

Description	Grade	Possible
Introduction forum	100	100
DF 1	100	100
DF 2	100	100

Business Law

June Term, Week 2

     Well, I have finished my first week of the new semester. I have completed all the assignments which is a good thing. The first two weeks brought nine chapters of reading. I have finished two of those but they were very long and both for accounting. Next, I am reading the chapters for Business Law. While there are four of them, they contain less pages that the accounting reading does. After that I will do the management reading. 

     I am desperately trying to stay on task this semester but it is difficult. With my kids getting out of school soon. I do not want them to be bored all summer because I have homework to do. So I took them out for some fun today. Read all about it on my other blog.  http://kangabounce.blogspot.com/2015/06/girls-day-out.html?spref=fb 

    With keeping on task in mind, I am going to get back to some reading. No grades yet to report. So I will leave you with my second week schedule.

If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.

Semester 3 and Semester 2 - Grades

This week started my new semester.  I have management, business law, and accounting 201.

I also received all of my grades for the second semester.

Managerial Communication - 87 - B
Macroeconomics                   - 87 - B
Accounting 102                     - 70 - C

They are respectable and I am proud of them.

But enough about the past.  Only looking forward to this new semester. I am vowing to keep up better and try to stick to the reading. I have nine chapters to read for the first two weeks.  I have one chapter already completed and am working on the second one.  The chapters in the accounting book are more involved and take more time. I am also going to the library more. It is a better atmosphere for getting the reading completed. Less distractions both furry and otherwise.

Here is my schedule for the first week. Just as a reminder that green is completed.

No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.

Second Semester in the Books, Bring on the Next One

Good Evening,

I have not posted since the semester started; yet, I just finished it. I turned in my Accounting 102 Final about an hour ago and it felt wonderful.

I was not as diligent with my workload as I had hoped. I kept up pretty well until the midterms and then my system broke down on a core level. I got lazy after not doing very well on the midterms.

I have most of my grades and will post them near the bottom.

I have a glorious week off until the next semester starts. My June semester classes will be:
Accounting 201 - Intermediate Accounting I
Law 201 - Business Law
Man 301 - Principles of Management

I am going to push myself to keep up better this semester. I do, however, realize that there are going to be some very serious hurdles that I must push through. My children will be home all summer and I still have work and family obligations.  I must continue to tell myself that I can do this and ask for help when needed.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day!

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

New Month New Semester

Hello,

I am back after my week off from school.  Still very happy about my grades. I can not believe that I got a B in Statistics, but now it is time to move on.  As of 3/3/2015, I started my second semester at Thomas Edison State College.

This semester I am taking Accounting 102, Macroeconomics, and Managerial Communication.  I have created my calendars to keep up with the work and there is a lot of work to be done this semester. I have a quiz every week in Macro, and a written assignment due in Accounting.

I have to take a midterm in each of the classes and luckily do not have a final in any of them.  I just finished the first week today. I had to read one chapter in accounting, three in communication and two in macroeconomics.  I completed almost all of the reading. I have one chapter left in macroeconomics but will get it done this week with the rest of the weeks work.

I will give you the calendar for this week and for next as I just finished this week. I turned in my accounting assignment slightly late but hopefully it will be excepted, it was only 3 hours late.

You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind.
