I survived Managerial Accounting!

As I've mentioned, I returned to college life to finish my MBA degree.   The format works for me, my family and my employer.  It's a co-hort format, each class is 4 hours, one night a week for 8 weeks.  Way back in 1998 I started a MBA program but I failed to finish because it was interfering with my social schedule and wedding planning!   So for fun, I waited 11 years to return .. this time with a husband, 2 active kids and a career in tow because, you know, I have so much spare time on my hands.  :-)   Okay, maybe not but it's working out for us either way.  

Managerial Accounting is was not a new concept to me.  My undergrad degree is in business.   Our professor was not exactly what I would call "friendly" but somehow I managed to not only survive the class but I actually got an A.   This class was my be-all end-all though, I worked on accounting just about every night and went to tutoring 1-2 times a week.   I honestly believe everything I learned was from the adjunct tutor, she was awesome!

I've been an absentee everything through the last 8 weeks as I struggled to learn from the class.   I almost gave up facebook and certainly this blog.   We've had a 3 week break before the next class starts but I'm not worried about Finance in the least.   Surely, I will remember something from undergrad, after all it was my major!
