1 more down!

I wrote my OM1 exam (Operations Management). It was not too hard, but really there was not enough time, so I scrambled through it. There was 1 question that I really don't remember even learning about, and a couple that I didn't have the time to think through thoroughly. Anyway, today I got an email that said the exam I wrote was intended for a 4 hour sitting, not a 3 hour sitting, so they will take the 8 best marks on the 11 questions... yay is me!

6 more courses, 1 internship and 1 designation exam to go! Is that all???

Even bowling is better than studying

Once again, I have an exam to study for. Operations Management, the first of the 4 courses I need to finish my degree. And I am procrastinating studying in my usual manner. I just can't get into this course. It's not that it's hard, it's actually only a second year course, and after the last couple CGA courses I have done, it is a nice break, but it's just really not very interesting. The group work was an interesting part of this course. Being part of a group where no one lives in the same city is a pretty cool use of this wonderful internet thingy... will brick and mortar universities have any need of existence in the future when I can sit at home at 2 AM on a Saturday night to add my 2 cents to the group discussion in my pajamas. Don't worry, I do realize that not only is it bad to mix merlot and email, it is also bad to mix beer and term projects.

So instead of studying yesterday, I went out with the work social club (which I really should think of rejoining, so I don't feel like such a party crasher) to bowl, drink and eat pizza. It was actually much more entertaining than I had expected, and I got the 2nd best scores of our team (all 3 games over 100 points). Plus, how can one not have fun while wearing those shoes???

Today I will have to suck it up and do some studying though. And it upsets me that the time change was this morning and I lost an hour, as if I don't have too little time as it is!
