First day!

Oh my. First day of grad school is FINISHED!

I went to work from 9-1 today... I'm technically supposed to work 9-12:30, but my boss kept talking, so... I stayed til 1. I'm not sure if this is allowed? Meh. I'm clocking those hours for sure.

Had a quick lunch in the Fisher graduate student lounge... awkwardly chatted with some first year MBAs. Thank goodness another girl who did her undergrad at Miami came up and found me. She and I walked to our first class together... aw, how reminiscent of high school haha.

That first class is basically accounting research. What a thrill. It's going to be PURELY group work, which kind of makes me want to throw myself off a cliff. But the girl from Miami is in my group, along with 3 other people that seem legit. That's what I like about grad school... everyone CHOOSES to be here. In undergrad, you're like... forced to be there, kind of. But everyone wants to be here, which is great.

The next class is the finance class that I added at the very last minute. It's going to be a LOT of work... but just for me. I basically shouldn't be in this class, due to the fact that I haven't learned a lot of the prereq stuff yet. The prof uses a lot of stock market terminology that is completely over my head. He said "in-the-money" today and I almost cried because for the first time, I knew what he was talking about. And that's ONLY because my dad taught me what that is, not because I learned it before. So yeah. It's going to be rough. I feel like I'm going to have to play catch-up a lot which is kind of daunting to know on the very first day haha.

So yeah. It went well. Tomorrow I have corporate tax (omg kill me) and financial statement analysis & valuation, which I think will be pretty cool. As cool as accounting classes can get, I guess. While corporate tax will surely suck, I have one of the top professors in the country, so at least I have that going for me. And I've already met my valuation prof, and he's so nice.

The one thing that bugged me today was that some kid in my finance class was like, texting obnoxiously the whole class. Like I said earlier, you CHOSE to be here. So why don't you CHOOSE to be professional and just freaking listen to the professor who has years of experience in the field you're trying to better understand? Kthx.

SVU premiere tonight :) feel free to watch it so you can discuss it with me later haha.

Also... my #1 priority at this point really should be to get a lamp for my office. I am typing in the pitch black. It's creepy.

OH. I almost forgot. I dealt with sex boy in the apartment below me. Every evening, his music becomes like, unbearably loud for about an hour or so. For the past two nights, I've actually gone down and knocked on his door (which, for me, is a HUGE deal. I'm such a baby usually), but both times it's sounded like water was running. I've deduced that he probably just turns it up really loud when he's in the shower. Okay, 1) freaking get a shower radio and 2) just because once you step in the shower, your music gets quieter doesn't mean it gets quieter to those NOT in the shower. So it was bugging me that I wasn't able to tell this guy to turn his music down. I ended up writing him a note and putting it on his door. I tried to be nice but not like... overly nice. It was gone when I looked this morning, so I hope he got it. And doesn't think I'm a bitch. We'll see. His usual shower time is coming up soon.

Have good nights :)
