Week 10: Financial Accounting, Organizational Behaviour, Management Accounting (Module 3 con't)

Week 10 has been one of the most intense so far. There has been no break or let-up in the workload. Week 9 was busy, but the weekend that followed was just as busy, if not more so, since there were no classes to get in the way. Week 10 has been even busier since the additional time needed to keep up on all the work needs to be placed around class time. This has meant coming in early and staying really late. (7 AM to 12 PM at school and anytime additional you can squeeze out while your at home)

The real casualty has been my gym schedule and the time I once spent with my wife. I hope I can get my back to the gym this weekend. Making peace with my wife on the other hand will likely be more difficult and take little more work and time, but that will need to wait until after this set of exams. If all goes as planned we should be able to make a quick trip together to get away for a few days after exams finish and before the next wave of work begins. That should help to smooth things over.

Basically between now and next Friday there is a major assignment due every other day with some small assignment due in between. This is a generalization, but I don't have the time to write all the details here. Next Friday sees us start writing final exams. Then there is a test or major paper due every few days. From now until July 28th there will be no letting up. Basically the last 2/3rds of July are going to be very intense.

Other activities that went on:

• point four had a very low turn-out, but some of us did show up
• the 2nd canoe trip was a big hit
• those people involved in the student council have seen even more of their time disappear
• our "class norms" have been a big issue and we have pretty much been put on notice that we should show up to class on time or the administration is going to do something about the situation (this is for returning to class after short breaks)
• somehow various clubs have still managed to squeeze out time to meet (the consulting club even managed to do some one-on-one case practice)

Okay, that is all the time I have allocated to this activity. Time management is key. On to the next task: reading that case for management accounting...
