The toughest class of my Cornell career October 14, 2009

I am actually being quite legitimate by saying the toughest class I have ever experienced since I have been at Cornell decided to rear its ugly head during fall semester of senior year. Maybe it’s tough for a lot of reason, the external fact that looking for a full-time job is like a 16 credit course or the fact I walk every Fishbowl Wednesday and Thirsty Thursday night slowly back home, because I am exhausted studying for this classes exams. It could be a lot of reasons, but this class is tough.
It’s my finance class and I made the mistake of taking this class senior year namely because I had no other option unless I didn’t want to study abroad. It’s well known through AEM this class is the tough part of the major. It’s tough for a lot of reasons and my senioritis and lack of concern has only created a worse situation.
The professor is the epitome of investment banker/ hard finance workers. One night while working on stats at 2am I saw him just walking out of his office, slaving the night away apparently. He is very OD about punctuality and certain etiquette. During our first section, after two minutes since the class started he proceeded to lock the doors from the outside, so if you decided make the trek all the way to night class at 7:30pm and arrived two minutes late to no avail you just wasted alot of energy walking to a class you clearly aren’t going to attend. As a senior, it’s a bad combination of me not wanting to work hard and he being a stickler for just about everything.
It seems every class seems to be an adventure for me despite the fact it’s a class of over a couple hundred. On more than occasion, I was awaken during class with a smile and probing question from the professor. Usually, I make an educated guess which is correct and only validates my sleep patterns during class. Even tonight, my cell phone was ringing and he proceeded to answer my phone. However, I luckily hung up the call before I gave him the phone. I don’t even understand I’m not that bad of a student but for this class I continue to be a bad boy for no reason.
All I can do is try to sleep during another class and come back refreshed for this one!!!!
