Depite missing two days of school this week I think I did ok in the final A/R exam we just had this morning.
The reason for missing school - FLU. Courtesy of my spouse and my son. They get the flu every year, but this year it was far worse than usual. So bad that spouse was just too sick to babysit our son. I had no choice but to stay home. For some reason I have not caught the flu. As one friends mentioned today, maybe thats because I am no longer as run down and overweight as I used to be, at this time last year. I guess losing 50 pounds definitely does makes a difference to ones health
I was able to get to school to do the final project today. The teacher says she will be going back to the beginning of the accounting cycle next week - book keeping fundamentals and all the accounting software. I must admit that I thought that the accounting would drag, but it hasn't really.
We are still waiting for the Advanced Accounting results - which we finished 4 weeks ago. Next week I got back to J (teacher) for the final courses - Advanced MS applications - Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook and Access.

Week 47 - Day 1
Week 3 of ACCPAC.
This week we are doing the Accounts Payable module for ACCPAC and will have the project for A/P to do later on.
Next week we will do the A/R modules.
I now have just 2 months to go until I finish this diploma.
I have to admit the last 11 months have flown by just SO FAST!!!!
I am now looking for jobs, but dont expect to get one before the end of July, because I still have 2 months to go, and most companies usually need someone to start ASAP.

Week 46
Second Week of ACCPAC. We had to do the first project for ACCPAC this week. We had to set up a fictional company, and do some general ledger transactions.
Two days later we had the second project - a small project setting up the taxes and banking services module for our fictional company.
The Quickbooks result finally turned up. I got 78%. I could have done better.
The class is still waiting for the Advanced Accounting results.

Week 45
First week of ACCPAC. Lots of different modules and permissions to deal with just to set up the (practice) company. So easy to make mistakes.
There are some areas where if you make one mistake, you have NO CHOICE, but to start all over again. ACCPAC is NOT a forgiving program to use. There are also a lot of general ledger transactions as well.
There are no "exams" for this class, but we get 4 different practical projects to do during the month.
Still no Quickbooks results.
I also went to see the movie - Angels & Demons - my second birthday treat.

Week 44 - Day 6
Today is Friday, the last day of Advanced Accounting. YIPPEE
I have never been so glad to finish a class as I am with this class. I really am NOT a numbers person. The class had another quiz on Wednesday and the final exam today. I think I did ok, but as always, I will have to wait and see.
We still don't have the results from the Quickbooks class, which ended 4 weeks ago. Then again the teacher who teaches the Quickbooks course is the same person teaching the Advanced Accounting and she doesnt have time to mark our papers. She also teaches a marketing course in the afternoons, as well.

Week 43
I did not do so well on the first quiz. But did better on the second quiz. Also had a "mid term exam" at the end of week 42. This week is the 3rd week of accounting.
Nothing much else happened. But I did go and to see the new Star Trek Movie (aka Star Trek 11). I actually really enjoyed it. That was my birthday treat - well one of them anyway.

Week 42 - Day 2
Had a quiz today. Should have had it on friday but with so many formulae to learn, the class begged to be allowed to study over the weekend and do the quiz on Monday. The instructor agreed.
I did not study as much as I should have. Out of the 4 questions, I aced one, did some parts of two other questions and left the 4th question page blank as I totally forgot to read that chapter over the weekend. I will be lucky if I even get 50% on this quiz.
We have a mid term exam on Friday this week - covering all of last weeks and this weeks work. Then there are 2 more weeks of accounting to get through.
I am hoping I can get a final grade in the 70s at least. That will not bring my average down too much.
