All 455, All the Time
When I went out the door this morning, I put on my shoes and realized that I hadn't worn them since Friday! I think that's a modern-day record, for me.
The lack of shoe time was on account of I was chained to my desk all weekend, studying for tomorrow's exam in 455. The good news is that I think I'm starting to get a handle on this stuff. The infamous balance sheet consolidation worksheet, which was giving me the deer-in-headlights look toward the end of last week, is starting to make a lot more sense. Which is a good thing, because last semester's exam had a 36-point question on that! If there's a 36-pointer on this semester's edition, I'd say I'm probably good for around 30 points -- I don't have it down well enough that I can nail it every time, but I have a much better idea how to fill out the worksheet than I did last week. The other issue is accounting for income taxes -- I had trouble on that part of last semester's exam (which is made available for practice). But again, I've been working on it.
As before, my goals are not especially lofty in 455 -- I just want to pass and move on. Winning ugly tomorrow night would be a big step in that direction.
