I finished reading chapter 8 in Introduction to Business last evening. This was the last chapter on the management section of the course, which means there was a test. The nice thing about Penn Foster is that they let you have a retake if you don't do so hot on a test. I took the test and was pretty confident but only scored a 88 on it. I retook the test and got a 96. I'm pretty happy with the grade. I would really like to get another 100 on a test, that would make my day.
My lesson average for the entire course is a 94 which is still an A. I'm pretty proud of that since it has been more than ten years since I was in college.
Since I finished with the chapter in business, I figured that this evening I would work on math. Chapter 6 is on percents. I am about halfway through the chapter and have four more chapters before my first test in this class. I like math which is one of the reasons that I am delving deeper into accounting. Wish me luck!
Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.

6/5/2014 Update
I have been so very bad at updating this blog. As with so many other things, I never seem to have enough time. Here's to being better at updating about my journey.
I finally did finish Chapter 5 in business and even took the test. On my first attempt at the test for that section I got a 76. I was very unhappy with that score and studied some more. The second attempt I achieved a 92 percent. It was not the 100 that i got before but I did not fail.
I am currently reading Chapter 8 in Intro to Business. This is a very big chapter as it talks about different types of work schedules, different laws that companies must follow and so many other things. I will have a test after finishing this chapter. I think that I have about 20 more pages of this one. It is a slow read but I am getting there.
Penn Foster also sent me the book for Mathematics For Business And Finance. I am currently working on Chapter 6. This chapter is on percents. After chapter 10 there is a test in that class. I think I will do pretty well on the test.
I have been struggling with time management of late because I am in the process of packing for a move. Getting ready for the move has put me very behind in my studies and frequently frustrates me. Hence the previous comment about never enough time.
I hope you are all achieving all of your goals toward education or any other avenue.
Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.
