Second week of November

On the 10th of November, we had an open day for high school graduate students from different school. Each program did a presentation concerning their major. As a finance student we did a presentation of a bank. It similar to the awareness campaign that we did the previous week however this is more for student who don’t save or wants to save money and how can banks help.

On the 12th of November, the last day of the week. *yay*

My friend and I went to the cafeteria and we were standing waiting to order. When it was our turn, some “Barbie girls” cut the line and wanted to order. (Aagghh I hate when these things happen to me) I got frustrated and told my friend to order. I just couldn’t stand their attitude, their giggles and laughs so I said in a loud voice: “EXCUSE ME!” more than three times, “we came first!. . . 2 margarita and 1…..” haha I didn’t give them a chance to talk, I ordered directly, paid and sat.

Why do people cut lines? Or being “pretty” allows them to?

The monster is back!

29th of October

Grab your books, take your notes, and eat everything you learned; the monster will come any minute soon. That's what happens to me during midterms (-_-'). I never in my life loved exams and will never do; I prefer reports or presentations more.

What’s more, I like numbers and calculations and not case studies or explanations. Last year we were asked about program choice and I was confused whether to choose accounting or finance however, eventually I took the finance program. Both programs are not easy and needs students who are hard working. Don't make the monster take away your grades and years of success and don't stop writing.

After the exam today which was in corporate clients I felt like I've dropped a ship from my chest because I was really anxious about the sort of questions that are written.

To all students around the world, get your gears ready for a match with the monster that never dies.

Google Project Reflection


Google project is a new way to discover Google tools and some useful topic that is related to our courses. It is a new way to make student train each other. Some topics were fun, interesting and useful for us as finance students like Google docs, iGoogle and Google Finance while others were straightforward such as Gmail, Google Toolbar and Firefox . As for my topic, I was assigned to train my classmates about Google interface. Google interface was more of a discovering topic than training. I was frustrated because I didn't have anything to train my classmates about and will lose marks for that. I hope my grades will turn out good and I wished I had a topic that will be easy to explain and teach.

This project was a long process project. I started to get bored towards the end of the class. A fifteen minutes training session is short for some topics that the students were given to. At the end I'm happy we finished this project.
