Spring 2008 Semester

Alena being a student.My spring and, hopefully, last semester at Baruch has started last Friday.

Honestly, I feel overwhelmed already. O.o

There is a Business Policy (BPL) class, where we’ll be participating in some kind of business game. Teams (6 total) of 4 people will be acting as managers of a company, which produces dinnerware (any suggestions how to name the company?). Read more…

Грызуся

GradesРугаю себя, ругаю, а от привычки “принимать всё близко к сердцу” избавиться никак не могу. Вот вчера тест был очередной по финансам. И готовилась же много – над домашкой часов 10, не меньше, просидела в сумме, и понимаю вроде всё (даже другим обьясняла), а в теоретических вопросах опять ошибки сделала. И вопрос в одной задаче второпях неправильно прочитала – нашла цену в неправильный период.

Ненавижу эти multiple-choice вопросы. ( Так хоть частично дают кредит, если видят, что понимаешь. Эх… Вот уже второй день расстраиваюсь. Как сказала бы моя бабушка – “грызуся”, то бишь самоедством занимаюсь. А толку-то?

Financial Calculator

Texas Instruments BA II Plus Professional CalculatorWe bought me my very first financial calculator last night. The item of choice is BA II Plus Professional Calculator. I like it. ) I only need it for bond calculations so far, but it has a lot of other useful functions (I haven’t quite figured out yet how to use them though). A financial calculator is required in my Investment Analysis class. I think, it might be needed for other more advanced finance courses later on.

The interesting thing is that during a summer semester I had a rare finance professor, who didn’t let students use financial calculators. He wanted us to understand formulas, I guess. I honestly think that his method of teaching was to my advantage. I even enjoyed using all those formulas. -)
