Weehaw.

So. The midterm is done. Now that I have had some sleep (about 4.5 hours [which isn't too bad considering I have functioned with considerably less]), I can actually write something worth reading (of course that was a HUGE assumption...?).

So, the journey of this midterm was not unlike a giant ultra iron man fitness torture thing for the brain, oh. MY. God. And because I KNOW you folks are DESPERATE to know the details...
read on.

So, here I am, informed 4 weeks ago about this midterm... getting all sorts little friendly reminders as I ignore blatantly the required readings for the petite quizzes - and subsequently ignoring the grande reminders for the midterm...

Then I decide that I don't want to live in the North of Vancouver - and give notice. Oh. Nice.

Then I decide that I need to actually get a second job, so that I can afford a fabulous place in the Nice part of the East of Vancouver, or perhaps the Side that faces West (of Vancouver [yes I could call them all the names that they actually are, but this is way more fun, and I have had lots of coffee, OK? {and the Teacher has REALLY got me into nesting brackets, I mean - check this out}]).

Then its the first week of May. Ah, I've got ten days! I am going to spend the time looking for a new apartment that I certainly wouldn't be able to put a deposit on, since I HAVE no MONEY to deposit it with, er... you get what I mean.

Days pass by... oh, you have to move and need help moving?... of course I will help you (this is actually something that was important to me. The Audiophile was moving, and because I like him super lots, I would skip midterms for him in a second, but don't tell him that, he would get mad...[Gwynabella, your work is IMPORTANT... do your homework! {he's so good about that...lol(what bracket do you use when you run out of brackets? this one?)}])...

Days pass by... oh, you are leaving town, random person? Sure I will celebrate and not do my homework. I have 7 days! What you're celebrating some random thing too? SURE, lets go out and celebrate this random thing... I have 6 days! No problem...

Days pass by yet again... what you mean you want to go out AGAIN? Sure why not, I may never see you again person I just met and think is really cool... I've got... 5 DAYS? SHIT! (send email to boss: Will not be in on FRIDAY... must do midterm... there goes a good lump sum of money...)!!!

So Friday comes. I get up at 8:30am. Do Yoga. I am super psyched about this midterm... I am ready to eat this bitch for breakfast, lunch and dinner! But I should be done by dinner...
9:30am - START!
2 o'clock PM rolls 'round. I am still on question 2 of 8.
5 o'clock PM rolls 'round. I am not quite finished question 2 - of 8 (of 8, people. EIGHT.)
7 o'clock PM rolls 'round. Thank god, I am finally on question 3.
10 o'clock PM rolls 'round. Hmm... I am STILL on question 3... and I am not balancing.
12 o'clock AM rolls 'round. Fuck this balancing shit, I am having a drink.

Oh, god. I spent 15 hours on 3 questions. I *just* realized that I thought it was 13 hours. I guess I thought wrong... damn... that WAS a long day.

I go to work on Saturday. My first day. I learn a whole bunch of stuff. Funny, my midterm seems to apply...

Sunday! We are invited out for dinner! A dinner (yet again) to celebrate a person leaving! How many dinners does a person need to celebrate their leaving!? This is ridiculous! And this Dinner we HAD, we had no idea was going to be so expensive! This place? NOT CHEAP! YAY us and our STUPIDITY, and the lack of INFORMATION!!!! Fairly Ticked OFF and TIRED and now extremely POOR!!! woohoo! Looks like I would have had enough money to pay a deposit in the first place!!! SO SAD NOW!!! WOO FUCKIN' HOO!

Phone in to work on Monday. I am taking the day off to finish my midterm. Wow, this whole day that I am going to miss? Would have paid for dinner last night. Barely.

Start at 10 o'clock AM. Question Number 3.
BALANCED! AT 2 o'clock PM! 3 hours! Stupid adding error! That was it! Arrgh!

On to question number 4.
Adjust, adjust, adjust... oh god, I am not balancing...
5 o'clock... oh! I put credits in the debit column. What a tool.

Question number 5... shit. I have to go. It's 7 o'clock PM and I have to go across town.

Tuesday: YAY I go to work today. I have had 4 days off from here and I don't think I even noticed... 8:30 am... working hard at hardly working... oh god the boredom..oh god I should be working on my midterm... maybe just a little, no one will notice...(scribbles out income statements frantically whilst watching out for the boss...)

4:30 pm... FREEDOM!!! to only go back to the midterm.

5:30pm... oh hello people in my apartment... right I guess I am leaving, so it's to be expected. I think.. something doesn't seem quite right about this, but well there you go... AND START MIDTERM!!!!

6 o'clock PM... frantically bust out income statements, statement of owner's equity, classified balance sheet... done! QUESTION 4 is done and it is... 9 o'clock PM.

Question 5... Update JOURNAL and LEDGER! CLOSE ENTRIES! Have to READ TEXT BOOK (I didn't read this part... ugh)

DONE! and its... 10 o'clock...

Make new post trial balance sheet.... DONE 11 o'clock! Question 7 is done!

Question 8! What? I make a list of the A/R accounts and A/P accounts from the A/R and A/P subledger, which is already a seperate listing of accounts... um.. hello? Redundant or what? No matter... just a list...? Shit this is EASY and its not even MIDNIGHT YET!!! WHOOHOO... i have to put all this on to one file? Oh, okay... cut and paste we go...

FUCK YOU FORMATTING!
oh come on, just look like it does on this page PLEASE? PLEEEAAAASE!!???!!?? oh god I am going to cry.

ONE o'clock am. Still formatting. UGH.

1:15am. Screw it *note at the bottom of 25 page document* 'SORRY FOR THE BAD PASTE JOB'. Now send the bitch.

Zip it? What the hell does that mean (note it is about 1:17am. Normally? I'd get it. Then? I didn't even know where I was.)

1:40am. Frantically sending myself an email. Going to attach file to email. Will send in the am from work. Hey, there is the zip file I have been desperately trying to find. Log in to school. Upload Midterm drop box. Click browse. Send the bitch off. Fuck you, midterm.

1:45am. Think its funny to post on blog. What a tool.

2:00am. Wednesday morning. Go to bed. Fully clothed. Set alarm 7:20am.

7:10am. Mom calls.
'are you awake?'
'YEAH... what, where... who... huh? Am I late for work? SHIT did I sleep through my alarm? What time is it?'
'7:10am'
'I HAVE 10 more minutes! come on!!! God why do you hate me so?'
'Okay, see you at work'
'Yeah. ugh'

and so, the journey ends, the journey of MIDTERM hell.
