2 down, 1 to go
Last night's exam in ACC 455 wasn't easy, but due to good preparation, I think I emerged unscathed. I'm not sure about today's, in 456, however. I wasn't as well prepared -- mostly because I've been spending so much time on 455! I'd say the over-under is around 70 for both, based on my impressions of how well/badly I did. I'd be happy with that, since at this point, my goal is just to survive the semester and move on.
Tomorrow: ACC 375 (tax). I'm not looking forward to that one, but at least I did decently well (76% or so) on last semester's exam, which the instructor makes available. I'd happily take anything in that ballpark tomorrow. I can tell you right now, though, that no way do I have any interest in a career in tax preparation -- probably not in tax planning, either. When you study taxes, you constantly have to keep in mind that there is no rhyme or reason to the rules regarding what you can write off and when -- it's all a matter of what Congress and the courts decide. And at least in the case of Congress, their decisions are based on politics, and any resemblance between political judgment and rationality is purely coincidental.
In any case, I continue to work toward tomorrow's exam by studying business deductions and business/investment losses and limitations. I'll be glad when 24 hours or so have gone by.
