Time or Money

I happened to stumble upon a portrait photo that titles: Time or Money. That statement motivated me to blog about this topic. And it got me thinking too. Which one do I want more? Time or Money. At first, I debated choosing money because I think that money can be more beneficial during emergency situation. If you don't have money, well you practically cannot do anything in life. Everything is about money these days. Right. Where in the world can you go that money does not matter? But then I realized something. Time is also as valuable. With time you can get to do all the things you ever wanted. You know the saying, "If I had the time, I will definitely do .....(fill in the blank). And then I realized that I cannot make a decision. So I started to ponder on myself. Time or money. In the end, I shifting towards Time because. with time you are able to get more money, assuming you are being productive. But, if you have no time, then your money will be to waste. My question is which one do you think you value the most? Time or money. It's not a difficult question to answer. Choose wisely. I know I did. :)

Bdups & other stuff

Finally, Buffalo Wild Wings opened in Bowling Green after they decided to renovate to a new location. I wonder what got me into this wings craze. They have this special days, Tuesday, wings night or Thursday boneless wings. Maybe because it's the price. Maybe because it's the sauce, Parmesan Garlic and Spicy garlic. Or maybe I am just too lazy to cook. Whatever the reason it may be I just love this place. If I eat there, there are gazillions televisions to watch sports. Kinda reminds me of mamak where you go there and order a cup of teh tarik and sit there from 10-2pm watching soccer all night long. After some time, you feel hungry and you order food. But that's different I guess. Sometimes I order takeout because I don't want to wait in line for a place to sit and not pay sales tax. Yeah, life as a college student is difficult. Especially when you are in a financial situation with limited sources of income. Getting my paying off bills one  paycheck at a time.

Since being here, I began training to cut my own hair. It's not that difficult. At least I try to not make it be. I brought these hair clippers on Amazon which costs only $25. It's not perfect or anything but at least it saves me on trips to the barbershop. If I have a good mood, I will cut it too short, which is good because it can last longer. On other occasion, I try to trim it. Hopefully this haircut can last me three more weeks.

Somehow, I managed to put in time to clean up my room. Did some spring cleaning around the house. Vacuum the apartment and my room. (Which my messy roommate dirtied it again). Sanitized the cook area. And cooked herbal soup for the weekend. All in all, it was a productive weekend. Yeah, I also spend time studying for my CPA exam. Man, I really need to pass FIN. Time is of the essence for me. Please, I need all the help I can get.

Cost Accounting

At the beginning of the semester, I heard some good and bad things about Cost Accounting. The only reason why I took this class so that I only have two days of classes. Plus, I wanted to learn more about internal financial reporting. To be a good accountant, you need to know external financial reporting as well as internal financial reporting. Hence, I decided that this would be a good choice. I kinda underestimated this class because he does not collect homework nor attendance is mandatory. But when you consider that you are paying thousands of dollars for university, at least you need to attend class. The first exam was rough and I told myself that I was going to study harder for the second one. On Tuesday, I took the 2nd exam and it was a little bit harder than expected. You know the feeling when you walk out of an exam and you know that you are going to get a bad grades. Tuesday night, he sent out an email saying that the grades are posted on Blackboard. Before I checked my grades, I was trembling because I did not know whether I did good or not. When I look at my grades, I was surprised that I got 83%. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. I refreshed the page and still the magical number 83% came up. Well, I will take the 83%. No doubt about it. Phew, at leasat now I am still in the game. Hopefully a B or an A is possible.
