alright folks, ya'll good?

i am.

right my final exams for my college course are starting in a weeks time. the joy of it all. studying hard in library, not paying full attentiopnto the final week ogf the giro di italia. what could be better?

my timetable is as follows

23rd Monday: Corporate Reporting and Accountability
25th Wednesday: Financial Management
27th Friday: Management Accounting
31 st Monday: Taxation
1st Tuesday: Auditing
3rd Friday: Business Strategy

i've done good so far in the continous assessments. i got 95% in tax as my highest. financial management was the lowest at 70%

my target average for these exams is a minimum of 63%. if i get the 63%, it will be that i've achieved a 1.1 degree if my caluculation are right (and i think they are) which is the best possible achievement

i deffinately think i will do it, as long as i work hard

in corporate reporting and accountability,m my group got 91% for a group essay. it was a great achievement, lecturer described the essay as one of the best essay's he's recieved in years. the other 2 members of the group are also very happy, needless to say

i'm very happy also about it

23rd Monday: Corporate Reporting and Accountability
25th Wednesday: Financial Management
27th Friday: Management Accounting
31 st Monday: Taxation
1st Tuesday: Auditing
3rd Friday: Business Strategy

Are these all Irish based principles, or what? I would think that in a teensy tiny country like Ireland that they would prepare young people....for leaving.

;)

Seriously, are they only about Irish practices/law?

The only one that would be asbout irish practices would be Taxation

all the others would be very internationally focused

i think in both financial management and management accounting we use english books

and in business strategy, we use a book that's either the european version of an american book or the american version. it was written by professer from america though. I think Kansas is where one of the professors is bases. It would have deep international focus. Only topic that wlouldn'#t be totally internation would be the Macro Environment

CRA:
i don't know. i thought it didn't go well but i was talking to the lecturer on thrusday and he said i did very good in it. i did think the paper was harder then i thought it would be

Financial Managfement
A dream of an exam. it was wonderful. ki though the questions were fair. i loved the internation appraisal question, it was great. i was in the zone taking this exam

Management Accou8nting
i'm not sure how it went. i felt it went good but then again lecturer could mark it awkwardly and that'd be bad.

i 'm 99.99% sure i've passed them all, i pretty sure i should get the 63% asverage i'm aiming for

Taxation:
i'm happy with the paper. i thought it was a bit tough but that's expected. it's an honours degree so what can you do. some people were whinging about it but if they had put more time into it, they might have found it better

auditing:
i'm felt the paper was ok. no arguments about the paper. it was a fair paper. the lecturer di put 102 marks on the paper instead of 100. i hope he doesn't realise. i was the only person that noticed it that i was talking to. i did feel i lost my rhythm after question2

business strategy:
i liked it. it was a nice paper./ i could do 3 and a half question really well. the other half i was a bit weak on butm i was also stuck for time so i saved that question for last as i knew i couldn't do as good on it as i probably should have

i went through 4 question books. most other people only were on their 3rd answer book

results are due on june 20th. hopefully i will meet my targets.

You will. :)

How are you besides that?

How am i besides this?

i'm good. i have nothing to complain about that actually matters. i am also excited about looking for work. i' just enjoying myself currently. i worked hard for the last 8 or 9 months so i'm just relaxing now until i get a job. i'm sending away cv's for jobs that would be good to me

a major target of mine is to move out of home. get a job somewhere else. i don't know why but that's what i want to do.

my results are as following:

Management Accounting 80 (in the exam 77.5)
Tax 79 (in the exam 75)
financial management 77 (in the exam 79)
business strategy 80 (in the exam 88- i think the question i couldn't do was worth 12 marks. coincidence?)
corporate report 81 (in the exam 78.5)
Auditing 65 (in the exam 63)

this means for the semester i got a 77% average, surpassing my target of 63%

this also means that from semester 1 to my final semester, i've done better each semester, starting with an average for semester 1 of 61% and getting an average of 77% in the final semester

i'm happy
