I have a Finance exam (midterm to be exact) tonight at 6pm and this is how I prepared for it this past week. In my defense, I had another exam last Wednesday, so Finance wasn't even on the table until Thursday.Thursday - watched the Spurs beat the Hornets in Game 6 of the Western Conference NBA Semifinals. The statistics brought forth by Mark Jackson and Marv Albert during commentary gave me some nice help for Time Value of Money problems.
Friday - Dinner with In-laws (I am sure bond valuation came up atleast twice) and Home Depot with Doug and my dad (discussed balance sheet transfers ad nauseum).
Saturday - Went to class (9am -12pm), albeit Team Management class, but my Finance book was in my satchel. Sat poolside (130 -4pm) with Jessica and Shelley whilst my Finance book sat in the car. The Vitamin D I absorbed added waves to my brain though. Watched JUNO (6-930pm) with Lauren and Doug, ate Little Caesar's Pizza (movie provided more thought about bond valuation).
Sunday - Church (no discussion of exam, it's neither the time nor the place, folks). Shower for Lauren (1-5pm) - the focus was on the bride but I knew my intense study time was coming. Home by 6pm when I watched the 4th quarter of the Cavs-Celtics game (Spoiler alert - Celtics won). Dinner at 7pm. Laundry at 8pm. Bed at 9pm. Finance book still in car.
Monday - Work, plan is to squeeze in studying at lunch for an hour. This turns into a quick review of the summary pages at the end of each of the 8 chapters covered on the exam. I quickly realize how little I know and realize that the stats from the Spurs game didn't really help at all. New plan. leave work at 4:30, study until exam begins at 6pm. That should be enough, right?
I should be stressed and the fact that I am not is probably what stresses me most. But it's hard to be stressed when I know that tomorrow is my last day of work until next Tuesday.

you definitely could have studied for 15-20 minutes in the time it took to right that post, Rachel. but your fans definitely appreciate your loyalty in keeping us up to date.
I love reading your blogs! They always make me laugh. Good luck on your exam girl!!!
hmmmm, that sounds all too familiar, but I recall doing the opposite. Studying beyond belief, extra help sessions, and still wondering how I passed that class.
Hope your exam went better than you expected! Have fun at your last day of work until next week. I'm sure that is a good feeling.
