I Passed!

Awaiting me in my letterbox last night were the results of the Commercial Law paper I studied last semester. I got a “B”. Yippee!! I am soooo happy with that. Believe me, I’d have been happy with a “C” pass on this baby. No offence to any lawyers out there, but I just do not understand how Contract Law, Tort Law, the Fair Trading Act, the Consumer Guarantees Act etc etc can rock your boat on a daily basis. Criminal Law, now that would be different …… On the other hand, I guess spending all day balancing figures wouldn’t rock your boat either? Each to his own …..

I spent the majority of last night trying to explain the basic points of debits and credits to a friend. Nancy is 52 and has recently gone back to “school” to up-skill herself and make herself more “marketable” to prospective employers. Good on her. I really admire her for doing that. But this accounting paper she’s doing has really got her baffled. I tried to explain things as simply as I could to Nance, but when you do things automatically and accept that things go where they go just “because” it’s difficult to try and get the logic across. So it looks like some time at the weekend will be spent going through some examples from her course, and hopefully making everything a bit clearer for her. I hope I don’t confuse her too much.

On that note, I’d better get back to balancing stuff ……
