Week 8 has come to a close. More Financial Accounting, Organizational Behaviour, Microeconomics, and Management Accounting. All the courses are in full swing. The work required before the class combined with all the assignment work is definitely keeping me busy...all the time. This weekend is going to be packed with lots of work. We were going to go on a class field trip to a local Kingston business for our Management Accounting class to do a "live" case study next Monday. However, it was a sky-diving business and a few of the students decided to make use of the opportunity; they got some people, including the professor, to sign-up to go sky-diving the day of the trip. Since the school cannot be associated with such a high-risk activity, the field trip had to be cancelled. Now the rest of the class doesn"t get a field trip and they still have to find their own transportation to the sky-diving location. Doesn"t really seem fair to the rest of the class, but I guess there will be other opportunities for field trips. Friday we had our first of four "speechcraft" sessions, which is an introductory course to "toastmasters". About half the class has signed-up for these sessions and I really think they are going to help us become better public speakers, which should help given the amount of presenting we are likely going to be doing. This week"s "point four" tried to incorporate a non-drinking activity, "movie in the square", to include those members of the class that don"t drink. Unfortunately almost no one showed up and the people who did were people who participate regularly regardless of the venue. Hopefully we are able to find a way to get everyone coming out since it is always a welcome break, especially since the weekends seem to be filling up with homework. Next week the class has organized a trip to Ottawa for Canada Day! That should be AWESOME. Spending Canada Day in Ottawa was on my list of things I had to do while in Kingston for this year.

Quotes

I believe the true road to preeminent success in any line is to make yourself master in that line. I have no faith in the policy of scattering one's resources, and in my experience I have rarely if ever met a man who achieved preeminence in money making.. certainly never one in manufacturing.. who was interested in many concerns. - Andrew Carnegie
