Cheryl's Life

Class

So I'm back in school after a 3 week break. I'm an official Senior now and down to my last year + 1 semester. I'm taking two accounting classes. Both teachers are middle-aged women with PhD's in Accounting and both are CPA's. I didn't like my Wednesday night teacher at first because she was loud and walked around the classroom all night instead of lecturing from the front of the room. She wanted to know everyone's nickname and was just a busy body basically. She grew on me though throughout the course of the evening. now I like her. That could all change of course next week.

I had my Thursday night teacher before (for Managerial Acctg) and didn't really like or dislike her. I liked her tonight. Maybe it's because I'm comfortable with her style of teaching.

I have this one guy in my class that sits in front of me. He's so annoying to me because he's loud and a know it all. Before class started, he was yelling across the room at a buddy of his. He could have just walked over to the guy's desk.... He had on his dress shirt with suspenders and a tie. Plus, I could not help but notice the Mit Romney 08 stickers all over his binder and two republican pendants on his shirt. As if that was something to be proud of....It's funny because we had to get in groups and discuss applying accounting ethics to certain scenarios. The one scenario we had was about a manager that overheard a phone conversation his CEO was having regarding a competitor buying up the company's stock. The manager went back and shared that information with his team. Was that ethical? Well, Mr. Romney lover said, "the guy did nothing wrong. He didn't break any laws and people discuss hostile takeovers all the time, blah blah blah..." Of course, he was wrong and the teacher had to again educate him on what is and is not ethical in accounting. You'd think he would just instinctively know right from wrong.
