Cost Calculation...

Those of you guys who read my blog regularly know, that I wanted to make this spring semester a rather low key one. But not so much luck. If I want to be able to get my accounting diploma by June 2016 I still have to take 3 additional classes. That much was clear at the beginning of the spring semester when I decided to take economic calculus. But this meant as well, that I would have take either business law or balancing techniques & year end tax work together with cost calculation. And that was something I really wasn't particularly fond of. Since those 2 classes ares quite time consuming and demanding. So I really wanted an option to take cost calculation beforehand. But taking this class parallel to economic calculus would be a bad idea since economic calculus is the basis for cost calculation. I really was hoping that they would offer a class in cost calculation during summer. But not so much luck. The option I was left with was having to take that class on Friday and would cut badly into my working schedule. So I wasn't fond of that idea either. But there was a class 2 times per week in the evening that would have been perfect. But of course there was no place in that class available. But I did put my name on the waiting list. I figured it can't hurt and if it doesn't work out I can always take the class on Friday. Honestly I wasn't really hopeful to get a place in that class. Today I got a call from the admissions department of the local FH and they informed me that a spot had opened in that class and they did offer me the spot. Of course I said immediately yes right away. But that means that I will be attending class at the WIFI FH twice a week for about 6 weeks. But at least those classes are only 2 1/2 hours and not 5 hours in a row. That should make it a little easier. But it means as well that I will have to learn cost calculation while at the same preparing for my exam in economic calculus, since I will be writing that test at the beginning of June. And to makes things even more fun, I will have 10 days to prepare for my written exam in cost calculation after the class has ended. I really want to take the exam by the end of June. So I probably will end up taking a week off work before I take the written exam. If that shouldn't work out for some reason I will have to wait till November to take the exam. And in my experience waiting that long is just not a smart idea especially with subject like cost calculation.
The next 10 weeks are really going to be tough. But with the necessary drive I should be able to make it through it. So much for the spring semester being low key.
