Quit Flappin' yer Gums, Biatch!


The most irritating thing in our computer rooms is that you sometimes get the unholy misfortune of being sat next to ridiculously chatty airhead girls whining about everything from dolling up for interviews to cooing over semi-cute sissy boys.

One of the big pluses Bocconi has over Nanyang. You get assigned random seats in Bocconi. So if you come in with a huge group of friends, you'll be scattered, and that is the easy mechanism they have to prevent turning the computer room into a conference hall.

Accounting Exam

Was today. I had fun doing it.

Some sample questions, for you to enjoy.

1) Calculate depreciation expense under the straight-line method.
2) Which depreciation method will yield the highest net income?
3) Calculate current ratio.
4) What is a finance lease?
5) Why are investors interested in ROE?
6) Calculate value of ending inventory if using FIFO method.

Among many others. It was a 2 hour paper. I left after 40 minutes because it got tough sitting there acting like I was still doing my sums.

And the weekend's here!! Heading to the seaside.

Ciao

Ducati

My team's business strategy project is, by choice, about Ducati Motor Holdings. If I had to ride, I've always preferred Harley-Davidsons and insanely long-forked choppers, but now I'm thinking my future garage would do well to have at least one of these monsters, if not for the simple tribute that it is to my awesome time in Italy.

The report is due on Monday. Business strategy is such a crock of shit. At least I didn't get stuck with a crappy company, and when I'm surfing around late at night for Ducati models instead of hurrying my ass up to finish the project, I can say it's all done in the altruistic name of research.

But the other companies in the menu provided to us to pick our desired research company from aren't too shabby. If we couldn't get Ducati I won't be depressed if we got a chance to study Fiat, Tod's, or even Juventus Football Club. That's Italy: flashy vehicles, fashion labels, and football.

EXAM Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I realised I made an entry label for Bocconi, but I've only ever had one post in it, and that was for my timetable. Now this is my second post, and it's just to inform you that I've got an email sitting in my inbox saying "Dear student, your exams are drawing close."

Timetable


Hmm, strangely, not as slack as I was told it would be. But I am looking forward to school anyway!
