Week 10 of the January 2017 Term - 2 weeks to go!

I have posted yet again. This makes two weeks in a row and I have two more weeks of this current semester.  I can easily see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I have been steadily working toward catching completely up with the current week. I'm not quite there but am extremely close. If you will recall last week, I still had an assignment from Week 4 due.

I can safely say that I am caught up to Week 9.  I have worked really hard to catch up and even if I do not receive perfect scores, then I will accept the grades that I get and be extremely grateful for them.  No idioms this week my readers.

I also registered for next semesters classes. I registered for Advanced Accounting I and Cost Accounting. Yes, I have previously taken then but unfortunately failed both after letting my bad habit get the best of me.  I truly believe that I am more determined now than ever before.

How about we get started with the weekly rundown.

Here is the list again:


  1. Accounting of my reading. Keep in mind that I must read at least 9 pages per day, for a total of 63 pages per week. 
  2. I have started getting some grades toward my classes, so I will post them. 
  3. I will post the past few 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. 
  4. I will post Week Eleven and Twelve's schedules so that you know what I'm faced with.

I have concentrated the last two weeks more on the assignments due rather than the reading. I will be changing that up this week as I have to get the reading done for the Final in Accounting 402.  

Now onto my grades:

As one can tell, both of my grades have went up since last week. As I have been catching up on assignments, I hope that trend continues swiftly.

Week 9 of the January 2017 Term

Hello again those who are interested in my Accounting Journey.

I let myself slide on getting the posting done as well as my homework. I am attempting to dig myself out of the hole that I am currently in. I have had some unforeseen stumbles this semester but feel that overall I can catch up providing that I can stay on task.  I refuse to let myself fail again.

I am at the end of week 9 of the semester, therefore this post will be quite long but will be filled with loads of information.

I ended up being very ill for my birthday which was when the downfall started. But it is now time to be positive, buckle down the hatches and pull up my boot straps and kick it into high gear.  Now enough of the enough with the idioms.

Onto my schedule 😊

Here is the list again:


  1. Accounting of my reading. Keep in mind that I must read at least 9 pages per day, for a total of 63 pages per week.
  2. I have started getting some grades toward my classes, so I will post them.
  3. I will post the past few 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.
  4. I will post Week Ten's schedule so that you know what I'm faced with.

I have not achieved goal since week 5 so I must get those pages read. As you will notice I have grand total of 756 pages to read and I have completed about 54% which is better than in past semesters. Now to just get back on track.

Onto the grades: Keep in mind that I am behind but currently working toward catching back up.

I realize that I have lot of sad grades but hoping to turn those around shortly.  Very proud of my midterm grade in Marketing. That exam was all essays.

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.
