The first results are now in:
« on: December 17, 2004, 10:03:32 am »
For my classes:
A in management (ironic given my complete inability to lead or get along with others in any meaningful way)
B- in marketing (the class that I had the project with all the ladies that would not listen to reason.)
I also have tested out of College Algebra.
11 credits down for the semester, 6 to go.
On a side note, the group project ended up going well, we fooled everyone apparently.  And as for the financials that they threw away that I had spent hours working on?  Well, the project was due at 6:30, and around 5:45 they told me that their financials weren't enough to fill the appendix, so I needed to redo the financials all over again.  Good thing I had gone through it all and remade them ahead of time in multiple versions.

But tell me, can you heal what father's done?
Or fix this hole in a mother's son?
Can you heal the broken worlds within?
Can you strip away so we may start again?
Tell me, can you heal what father's done?
Or cut this rope and let us run?
Just when all seems fine, and I'm pain free, you jab another pin,
Jab another pin in me

That almost makes you wish your grade wasn't riding on that project. Then you could just have told them that you didn't have them anymore.
Only in America .....do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

48 credits, as far as I can tell.  Should be done a year from may.  Now I need to start thinking of a job to get me by till then, preferrably something somewhat related to accouting.  Internships would be tough, since they pay pitifully low, and I desperately need $$$$
This semester was a real bear since between the 17n credits I earned this semester they relied on a total of around 1200 points for all the classes.  In other words, that's less than 300 points for each class.  That's a rough semester, because mess up one assignment or test and that's the end of your semester.  Add that to the fact that 3/4 of the teachers didn't give good details on what was expected of the students for the class, which left us all clueless in preparation for tests and whatnot. 
I prefer classes that give a much higher point total for grades.
