Can you believe it! This term is half way done!! It's just flying by and I am not sure if it's because I am having fun or I'm just so busy. We are in the middle of mid-terms, which is not so bad because most of my classes only call them tests and I don't go into a panic...lol
On Thursday and Friday we had our accounting tests (yes two). The first part was done online and multiple choice. The trick was, you only had 1 hour to complete 40 questions and once you were in the test you could not go out and come back. So I kicked everyone out of the house and sat down to do the test. Guess what? It was easy... I though hey wait! I actually know this stuff! I got 31/40 on this test and am proud!
The second part of the test was in class on Friday and was a series of accounting problems. This is where I froze. This first question I had to take the information given to me and create a Statement of Equity. But wait, in class that was the 2nd to last step in doing a problem. I was freaking! This was not in order... this must be a trick!! Yeah that's it... a trick. I took a deep breathe and moved to the next problem and then I got it! There was lots of information for each question and your job was to use what you needed to create the correct statement. Moved back to the first question and worked my way through the rest. I was not sure how I did but I knew I did my best.
Now here is the downer part. The test was Friday and this was also Thanksgiving weekend... I spent hours checking Blackboard looking for my mark. I knew that it was such a lovely weekend that the teacher was out enjoying it, but darn it! I wanted my mark! On Wednesday when we were back in accounting class, the teach said just this but promised us it the marks would be up that afternoon. All of us spent the 3 hours of our other classes taking turns logging in to see if the marks were up.
Lunch came and a friend and I were sitting down getting ready to eat when one of the guys from the class came by to tell us that the marks were up. OMG!! It's time. We were both freaking. She pulled out her laptop and logged in... she got an awesome mark. I was proud. I though, well if she knows it, then so do I. But deep down inside I was scared that I blew it because of that first question. She slide her laptop over to me and I logged myself in.... I scrolled to the accounting grades and closed my eyes waiting for them to load. All of a sudden, my friend was yelling woohoo! I did it! I passed my first accounting test. Not only did I pass it I kicked it out of the park with a 91 out of 101! We cheered with our pops, hugged and said let's forget studying for now. We knew it! We knew accounting!
That was until we went to the next class and started a new chapter and seem lost again....
