Thats why I’m not in business..

Current Mood:

Good news and bad news today… Good news is I had an interview from Kraft Canada today. It went okay but I’m not quite sure whether I got the job or not… Thats another story.. :shhh: Another good news is I got my statistics quiz back today. I really thought I got bad like maybe a fail but I didnt.. :jump: I got 12/15.. I’m very happy about that. The TA is pretty cool except the guys in the class is giving her a hard time.. Right so on with the bad news, I had a management quiz today that I didnt study on since I was stressing about the KC interview last night. So after the stats lab, I had a really short and quick study. Nothing really went in my head so I hoped that I would do okay. Management class came.. I thought the quiz consisted of 5 questions since it was 5 marks.. But… It was only 1 question worth 5 marks.. I was not happy.. I got it wrong because I wasnt thinking… So thats like 0 out of 5.. First quiz in management and I get a zero.. Thats the only thing we’ve done so far in management. So right now I have a zero in management.. How disappointing.. Thats exactly why I am not in business or management or IT since I’m just unfit to be managing business.. Hence computers.. Hence math..

We’ll see how well I do in this course..

Calculators are slowly becoming extinct

Current Mood:

So I went to Futureshop today to look for a calculator that converts decimal to binary and vice versa. I need it for tomorrow since I have this test. I go around the store for 5-10 minutes looking for a section for calculators. Futureshop (aka Best Buy) has all these sections for digital cameras, PDA’s, mp3 players and computers but they have to section for calculators.. :slant: Finally I find a little section right next to gadgets for PDA’s where they have 2 kinds of calculators.. Thats it! Just 2 kinds of calculators!!! They have the graphing calculator and the general one (not even a scientific one)! :eek: It’s like calculators are slowly becoming extinct because of technology these days. I didnt end up buying one since I dont need a graphing calculator and a boring general one. I have that in my bag. I need one that will convert binary for me… :irked: I was not amused. Futureshop has everything else but not one scientific calculator.. It’s bogus..

Things I Learned in MGT 200

Current Mood:

Please do not continue if you are easily offended… Things I learned in Management today.. How to win in any Microsoft game (such as Solitaire, freecell etc) without even trying, open an envelope with a cheque inside, make counterfeit money and the rest are just not as interesting. Right so the only thing I’ve tried is the Microsoft one.. Just search for ‘Windows XP tricks’ there should be some interesting ones there. Nothing illegal of course. As for the counterfeit one, I dont know how my prof knows it but he was telling us a way to make counterfeit money. I would never try it since I dont know where to even get the materials. The cheque one is just bizarre. I barely understood the instructions. So yes very interesting class.. :grin:

Now off to the depressing part, I have a statistics midterm tomorrow and I am so scared. I’ve never been any good in statistics unfortunately. Probability is probably my main weakness.. :embarass: I really hope I know what I’m doing tomorrow.. Then next week is reading week. For American readers, that is Spring Break. It’s not even close to Spring in here since it snowed last night then freezing rain stopped by to make the road all slippery and mucky. :irked: Next week, I’m also removing the last wisdom tooth in my mouth. Everytime I go to the dentist, she’s always harassing me about when I plan on removing it and what not so finally I made an appointment for reading week. Why not? I hope I get better on time before I start school and work. :smile:
