Busy Bee

It has been so long since I have kept everyone updated. I have been so busy between exams and getting my work done that it has been really hard to sit down and write something. This week is finals week and as of today I am done with all my classes. It looks like I am going to get an A in all my classes. This makes me very happy because it’s going to positively reflect in my GPA. Today was my last presentation which was also considered my final. We had to pretend to open a company that supplies vending machines and our job was to use Excel, Power Point, and Word to convince the professor to use our company for her place of business. The task was pretty fun considering I did it at the last minute.

I have been contacting Rowan University about graduate school with some of my concerns that I had with Berkley College. One of my concerns was that Berkeley College goes by the quarter system and not semesters. My second concern was that when graduating Berkeley the summer quarter ends in the middle of September but schools with the semester system start at the end of August. When I got an e-mail back from the school they made me aware that this is not going to be a problem and I can still start graduate school in the fall if I can show that I will be able to provide a diploma at the end of the quarter. This made me really happy.

I sold my books today which made me a little depressed and happy at the same time. Depressed because I spent about $400 on all my books but only got about $90 back and happy because now I’m $90 richer! I have debated buying and selling online but the effort and costs of selling online isn’t worth the price for me. IN addition to that if you buy your book online you then can’t sell it back to the school, you have to go through the effort of finding your own ways of selling it back. I wish we had some student billboard where students could post what books they have to offer and those that they need to buy. This would provide an easy way of communicating with other students about what they have and need.
