Back to School


RIC

Well back for another semester of graduate school at Rhode Island College ("RIC"). I had a great day spending money at the bookstore yesterday.

I am taking two classes and my textbooks came to $291 for two books! I almost had a heart attack. Now I've been very good about not putting things on my credit card, but at that price...I think deferred payment is okay for a couple of months.

This semester may be interesting, I'm nog sure what to expect. I'm taking Managerial Accounting, which I heard is very theoretical and I'm also taking a class on Taxation. The class on Taxation required that we buy Turbo Tax for business and its in a computer lab. I hope we don't spend the entire semester preparing tax returns.

Preparing tax returns is a normal day to day function of my job. It is incredibly boring and tedious and I've just learned that all of the auditors who look at my returns don't really care if I did it right, they just want to be able to justify my numbers. I'm telling you what is the good of an auditor if they are just going to accept whatever I put on paper?

It may be a challenging semester as well. This time of year is when I put in a lot of overtime because of high work loads. We'll see how well I'm functioning my March.
