Tonight I’m realizing that I’ve passed the point where, much like MTV’s The Real World, the summer IMS program stops being polite, and starts getting real.
I spent 4 or 5 hours this afternoon on a take-home math final that’s due Monday. The professor will be available tomorrow morning for any questions. I for one, plan to take him up on that offer. Luckily I’m almost done.
Earlier tonight, I finished up an accounting extra credit assignment out of our textbook along with the Chapter 4 quiz in our accounting review packet. Last night I completed the online MyAccountingLab homework that’s due tomorrow, so that was one less thing to worry about today.
And I’m writing this entry as a break in the middle of doing some Graduate Assistantship work. I’m required to put in an average of 10 hours every week working for a professor. Right now I’m reading chapters from a book he’s written and providing feedback. Then I’ll start summarizing some academic papers for him regarding a research project he’s working on that I’ll be helping with this summer. I’d like to get another half hour in tonight, then hopefully get 4 hours done between tomorrow and Saturday.
This weekend I’ll be driving up to Dallas to visit my girlfriend. But I’ve also got tons of accounting reading and studying to do, since our first test is next Wednesday. It is scaring the stuffing out of me, so I’m hoping to tie up some loose ends in my understanding of the material this weekend. I’d also like to get a head start in the next math chapter, but we’ll see how that goes.
I’m learning a ton and enjoying the intellectual Olympics we’re being put through. And I’m starting to get a little better at divvying up my time to get everything done. If only there were more hours in the day…
Anywho, I leave you with this picture I took yesterday of a squirrel. It was sprawled out on a concrete bench next to the business school, trying to stay cool.
