Accounting class

Let me tell you about my Accounting Class that I am currently in

First off:

Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity

In short that is a big headache.

I will put you through our instructor's teaching method in a way that maybe will help you understand what I am going through.

Imagine a big tape playing machine standing in front of the room.  For the younger generation a dvd or a Blue Ray disc.  At exactly the starting time the play button is activated and it begins to talk, and it will talk and talk and talk without slowing down, (imagine a car travelling while on cruise control).  If you ask it a question the tape machine will stop, rewind and play what he said over again.  If you ask it again it will stop and rewind and say the exact same thing again.

The machine will actually stop talking sometimes, only to have you solve a questions. Not quite so simple task. As you begin working out the problem to solve it, the machine believes adequate time has passed and will turn back on and begin discussing the problem.  You never get to completely solve the problem so you never know if you really understand what you were trying to solve for.

The machine feels a 15 minute lunch is more than enough time to get something to eat, and sitting for 2.5 to 3 hours at a time has no effrect on learning retention or bladder control. The tape inside the machine just keeps playing.....without stopping.

I have two more weekends with this tape machine,  they tell me if I can make it past this class it is all down hill from here.

Well back to Accounting,.....eat...sleep...Accounting, that is what I am doing
