Accountant = architect?
We all know that accounting is just an over-complication of what is essentially revenue-expenses.
When the new faculty building was constructed, I would've thought that the university would have used architects to design the building. However, I have come to the conclusion that there were cost-cutting involved in the construction of the building. Instead of using architects, they actually asked accounting staff to design the building.
While I sat this morning waiting for my lecture I saw a great number of visitors (most likely here for some event) walking into the building and:
1. Had no clue where they were suppose to go
2. Had no idea HOW to get there
I might have mentioned a while back that there are all but one visible stairs that lead up from the first to the second floor, and that stair is OUTSIDE the building.... Ok, it might look good to not have a stair inside leading up for the second floor, or it might be the new "it" thing but come on... this is the building NOT an accounting practice or something that should be over-complicated.
Since we're talking about accounting, let me rage about the allocation of marks in the test.
We were asked to fill in the missing numbers for a statement (from a-e). There were NO indication that they asked for the "total" figure at the end so I didnt add all the figures from a-e up.
Got my marked paper back yesterday and found out that they actually allocated 20% to the total figure..... I had a massive (albeit invisible) WTF on top of my head.....
Ughhh......
*Dang that was a long post.....that should make up for the recent lack of complaints/b***ing

The Joys of Econometrics
It appears that the OLS estimation method is more accurate than the WLS estimation method. Which is strange…..wieukfjsnda,esewfhkajewkl considering the fact that WLS is suppose to be a better method than freaking OLS on robust!!!!!
Why? Why?! WHY?!?!?!?!?!
Joy of Early Lectures
O the joy of coming into uni early in the morning.
Heading in early will get you the joy of :
- Catching a bus that is packed full like a sardine can
-Waiting at the intersection with all those ppl in biz suits.
-Seeing college (high school) students wagging school
- Seeing the electric bus run out of power in the middle of the intersection
-To top it all off, knowing that your friends are still sleeping in bed....

Well, the pressure of having an audience is definitely on. Grammar Nazi alert. It feels like primary school all over again.
But back to the topic of "omg, who pissed in your cornflakes today?" Today I have a few rants.
First of all, I hate all you people out that who tell me, "Oh, I love rainy days...". I suggest you take a walk in it when you have somewhere important to go, wearing a poncho and slippers with no umbrella.
Second of all, did anyone realise that Chapter 9 of Finance 251 is just repeating itself over and over again, using different and complicated words?
Thirdly, why oh why when people go to Subway, they feel like they are at a gourmet experience? "I don't want my Subway toasted, I only want it heated. I want pickles, but only 2 and a half slices please. Can I just have pepper no salt? I'm on a diet so I want that less than 6 grams of fat sub... can I use that Add-On deal and get 2 cookies please?"
I had the misfortune to stand in line for twenty minutes for a normal Sub of the day because I met a big bunch of retards who did the same thing over and over again. And what's worse? They had the time to think about what breads they want while waiting for others, but noooooo, they just had to think about it only when it got to their turn.
FFS, there's only five kinds of bread! This is not "what's behind door number 3".
Last, but not least, though I am glad they moved the Econometrics tests back to May first, I am still emotionally scarred for giving up berry-picking to study for a test I don't have.

Broken Promises
The title sounds really gay (not in a homosexual way) but.. yeh...
Our accounting lecturer promised to post resources up over the break (hence, the lack of complaints lately).. We're about half-way through our break. Not a single resource has been put up... As Sniffle would say "men and their promises"
PS: Our blog has recently reached ("officially") 2000views, hopefully not all of those are made by our contributors...

Time curse
Nowadays, we bring our laptop to our friend’s house. Then we would ask for their wifi password and name. 5 years before this never existed; 5 years later this will be a necessity. If they don’t have a wifi network at home, it will be like not having a fridge now. Technology grows as fast as a reasonable person can absorb. One day, when we turn old or turn a bit slow, we will be labelled as expired, ending our useful life.

Smack that.
Does anyone have a piece of modern technology which has failed miserably in your hands, now you have to wack it against the wall (a few times) just to turn it on?
I used to see it in movies - most recent one being "Zac and Miri make a porno" where Miri's apple macbook needed to be smacked a few times for the screen to show anything (btw i really don't regard that as a spoiler for the film so don't go thinking that was the best part of the movie or anything)
Now in my hands, is my phone. After (and probably due to) countless plummets onto concrete ground, gliding around the bottom of my bag nearly everyday, strange addiction my friends have to sliding my phone up and down randomly but also excessively when they see it, I now have to wack the phone to adjust the volume to play my music. Though I still haven't figured out the amount of force needed for each volume.. right now i'm working between a solid knock and a baseball throw against my wall
Amen for the symbiosis of technology and brute force

Day. Light. Daylight savings.
I think there should be some intercom that runs through every resident's house in NZ to enable informative communication and also serve as reminders when people like me blatantly forget about daylight savings then end up having an epiphany at the bus stop realising that she is actually an hour early for the bus she wanted to catch.
Boy that was a long sentence.
Anyways,this is a rage at all you people who didn't run to my house last night, slap me with a fish and say "daylight savings tonight, fool."
