Traumatised
Wednesday, June 8th, 2005It’s official.
I’m traumatised for life.
And so from now on, I’m swearing off any Accounting modules.
The exam was very toot lah.
The first question was the standard question where one is supposed to do an eight-column worksheet, profit and loss statement, and balance sheet. (Sorry, I’m tired and lazy to explain what each of the Accounting terms are or even to link to a further explanation on the net. You’d have to research on them yourself if you’d like to find out what they are). Posting was a total mess and I couldn’t even balance the Income Statement and Balance Sheet columns. Profit and loss statement and balance sheet were not balanced either.
The second question was on profit and sales revenue graph (called P/V graph). This was quite alright, although I was pretty sure my presentation was not correct.
The third question required the candidates to do a variance analysis. I had no freaking idea what variance analysis was. (Accounting concepts have this uncanny ability to vanish from my mind 5 minutes after reading it). So 18 marks were gone.
The fourth question was another standard question on cash flow. Candidates were to get the current values of future savings or spendings, and (usually) compare two or more different projects causing such savings or spendings. If I were lucky, I should get this one correct, although as usual my presentation was super messy.
All in all, Accounting exam was crap, and I won’t be surprised if I get the first failure in university.
Funny that contrary to most people, I’d rather see this:
Rather than this:
Heh, at least the Special Session wasn’t too wasted for me. I had lots of things to do in between of studying, like being part of the organisers of Image|reel 2005 and Digital Design ‘05. I’m also taking part in the making of the introductory movie for next semester’s Indonesian orientation.
Yeah, that was me when I was studying. The red thing surrounding my face was UJ’s hand when he was taking the photo. Can you see the stress?
Oh, and in between of studying, I also learnt a good deal of Linux.
Right. I realised the part after this is quite highly technical for most people. So I shall leave them in Extended Entry, which you can read by clicking on ‘Read More…’ below. Feel free to skip that part if you want to.
