Exciting Finance

Finally, I decided to take Finance concentration for my MBA course.
I know, it must be harder than General course...no choice but to make me motivated.
No idea, why I'm excited to study Finance.
I'm not good at numbers at all.
Numbers also don't like me.
But now, it's the time to shake hands.

It was heavy snowing in this morning but there were classes.
From 8:30 am. Took 7:00am boat. How nasty it was.
But I didn't care, because I like those classes,
Finance and Statistics. I had missed them.

Oh no I said too much -M.S-

When I took a basic accounting course,
the professor was so bad to handle with students,
yes, because they were like kids... didn't buy the text book,
always let the professor make copy after the class
only for the pages to know the homework... and complained like " I don't understand,"
...well, to understand the class, first, buy the textbook and read it...
The professor didn't tell like that, either... some classmates and I couldn't believe the situation.
That's why, the professor used only 3 chapters from the text book that had 1,200 pages...
could not finish what she had to teach us at all....

And the professor, who became a china attacker last time, said
"It's very basic issue and too easy for masters, so skip those sections..." in today's class.



Professor.



: )  Proooooof I'm here




You are the same parson, I know.

You did not teach me those.

The other classmates seem to have taken those classes when they were undergrad students,
but for me, your basic course was everything.

How can I know that?

Ok, I will start from the accounting again...
need to pull out the text book from somewhere in my room.

See?  Finance is exciting!

Runaway Professor

My finance class starts from 8:30am on Saturday.
Even though I have to take 6:30am boat, I have no complain,
because I like the atmosphere of Bronx classes.
Most of the students are US citizens and full time workers in week days.
That is why they have some knowledge about working environment and give it in the class.
As for money, US people know how their money to relate their life cycle.
They use cards, both debit and credit, and check than cash.
Moreover, they need to do insurance and tax processes by themselves.
Plus, many of them buy stocks for investing.
Japanese usually don't have those knowledge that much.
We don't have to worry about it because cash and saving culture make us safer
and companies solve those troublesome automatically without cheating.
So, the class skips some obvious topics, such as explanation of basic words.
Me? I need to learn EVERYTHING from scratch...It's tough but also exciting :)

And professor is a key, too. I took her class before and liked it.
She is from Hong Kong, and has a unique accent in her English...and she knows it.
(Please do not mention about my English now...)
But we are not able to say her English has Chinese accent.
In last class, she started talking about bonds, and gave us example of China.
And then, talked about China so much...

It began from their disbelief pointｓ of bonds, and then went to somewhere else.

"China doesn't have human right, they just keep a baby boy in the family
  and send baby girls to somewhere without registration in the country."

(Yeah, I know... oh, some students seem not to know it...)

"If you pursue freedom, you can be killed easily!! "

(Right, and you can ask for someone to kill someone, cost only $300...)

"When someone say if I am from China, I say NO! I'm from Hong Kong!
  I don't want to be mixed up with such a low level people!!"

...Professor? 

"You know what? Chinese send young women to US and let them get married
  with old US guys to get citizenship, and then back to China. Shameless!"

...Professor? What's wrong with you?

"There is the fake marriage business here!
  Don't talk to an old man and a young Asian girl when they are together,
  he isn't her grandfather, that is a fake marriage couple through agency!!!

Professor LOL Where is the FINANCE class???

Anyway, I enjoyed it.

School again. Finally.

My holiday is over.
I'm taking those three courses in this semester:

1. Research and statistics for managerial decision making
2. Managing information technology across the enterprise
3. Managerial finance

I'm not good at math or number things, pretty sure.
But sounds good for me to take those courses. That's odd.
Maybe because of my nature. I tend to like make things clear in black and white way.
Number does not tell a lie...

Motivation Level ■■■■■■■■□□　(as of 19:22 EST)

Then I found a very sad fact in my curriculum of MBA course.
They Only Have One Core Course and One Elective Course for Marketing.
And Elective Course is Only Online by The Professor Cannot Teach Well.

Motivation Level ■■□□□□□□□□  (as of 20:07 EST)

I hope they will hire another better professor,
as least the person who can speak naturally, not has terrible stuttering,
and do not make book smart business person.

IT class (2.) already gave us assignments, and that was not lecture or something.
That was really hard for me to answer because I still cannot find what my ideal job is.
I don't find any passion right now honestly..I'm still struggling.
The question was like this:

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

If you were given $3M dollars under the following requirements:

a. $3M dollars must be deposited in a bank with 5% annual interest rate.
    Please note that you can’t use the $3M dollars.
b. As such, you will getting $150,000 from the bank for your living expenses.
c. You must work,

then, what kind of work will you do?
This question is not about how you invest the money you may have (you can not use $3M that has to be in the bank and genearate your living expenses $150K). Please don't make the investment of either $3M or $150K.

I asked my big brother and he answered "how about a prostitute or a fortune teller for you?"
Thank you. I used the later one.
Just remembered the song "The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song"/ The Flaming Lips.
