New Semester

Balancing Classes with Poker
Over Christmas Break I played ALOT of poker and actually started to enjoy it again. Though I am still overall down (up with rakeback). This being my last semester of school I'm in the mood to try and do well. Might just be bc its the beginning of the semester. I dont like being stressed about making sure I put in hrs to play poker. So i'm going to take the rest of this month and just play when I feel like it and not worry. I have enough money in the bank to cover expenses for a few months anyway so no need to stress over that. Just cant go on spending sprees like i did in the fall when i was making 3k a month.

Classes

Mergers and Acquisitions
Seems like it is going to be hard. The material is supposedly pretty difficult stuff. Exams will be in the format of CPA exams. So that means everyone will get Cs on them.

German 101
Not actually enrolled but i'm sitting on it. I think i'm going to enjoy this a lot, I have always wanted to learn another language so this is a start. Though the timing of this class is inconvenient. Its in the morning and the rest of my classes are in the evenings.

Market Place
Basically this is just one intense in depth simulation. I'm kinda intrigued right now but i'm sure that will wear off. Next Tuesday is the draft for teams. I plan on keeping it updated on here how the simulation is going but without to much details in case the competition is reading.

Personal Financial Planning
Probably the only class in 5 years of college that I'll actually use in real life. Can't wait to get into some of the topics in this class.

Ecommerce
DONT HAVE TIL THURSDAY WILL EDIT POST AFTER THAT

Semester Goals
  • Use my planner
  • Keep my notebooks organized (use tabs and plastic sheets and shit)
  • Figure out what text books I need and dont waste money on the others
  • Do the assigned readings (especially in Personal Finance since that will be important info for life)
  • Graduate with a 3.5 GPA in the MPA program. Haven't done the calculations but im guessing i need a 3.6 or something this semester. Maybe a 3.8.
  • Finish in the top 3 of the groups in the Simulation
  • Wake up around 9 everyday.
  • Eat Healthier
  • Get in sometype of shape other than round.
