Week 11/12 of January 2017 Term, Final days of the semester!!!!

Hello and Welcome to the last week of my current semester.  I know I am a bit late but this weekend was spent catching up in both classes. I can honestly say that I am caught up in both of my classes.

I currently only have two items left on my list to complete.  The final in Advanced Accounting II and the Final Project in Marketing.

I have worked my tail off this semester. I still do need to read four chapters before the final on Saturday and the final project is 14-20 pages long. Yikes!!!

I'm fairly certain that I will not be able to achieve a B in accounting but I'm going to try. It will be dependent upon the final grade.  And I have to do extremely well which is unlikely since I do not test well. I am not doubting myself; however, I know my limits.  I should be able to achieve a B in Marketing unless I really mess up on the Final Project.

I just turned in my last case study. This one was on Starbucks.

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 Twelve's schedules so that you know what I'm faced with.

Grand Total 407 54% Completed
Grand Total Needed 756
This will finally change as I attempt to catch up on some of the reading. My goal is to at least finish the last four chapters of Accounting.  The other chapters in Marketing may never get read.  Hopefully, next semester I will do better on both fronts and not allow myself to get bogged down.

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.
