#i'm finding it interesting a class so far though and my prof is nice

First Impressions

inspired by @ros3ybabe

The first week is almost done and I will be fighting for my life to have the schedule that I want 💪

Nonetheless I already have my thoughts :)

Strategic Management

Professor presented the class with a very sciency tone to it which is not my style for the type of content we will encounter as I have enough sciency courses this semester

The grade spit heavily relies on group work, and i might no have the time to do so this semester

Decision -> drop this semester

Linear Methods ||

NGL i am pretty anxious as the last time I had a linear course was 5 years ago so i am feeling rusty

I have been taught by this prof before, and I must say, I love me an organized math prof ( as it is a rarity)

She mentioned that it is a jump from Linear | with a theory & proofs base. It will be an interesting change of paste

I am scared though as for the last proof focused course i had to work my ass off to make it click but what didn't kill me made me stronger right :) hehe

Final Grade A

Complex Analysis |

This will be a "hard course" as my prof said.. but am i cocky to think it will go well for me? I've already survived real and numerical analysis

I love love love how jumpy and excited the prof is to teach, also he has been providing a lot of visuals and thorough explanations so far on complex concepts

I do acknowledge that for all the maths I will still have to grind, especially for this, as it is all about visualizing and understanding the complex planes but he draws a lot of visuals to help us

I will have to skip every Friday lecture due to another commitment so i have to be extremely proactive with this one

Final grade A-

Senior Project

I know one of the professors for this course, and it is a math capstone so i think it is less about the prof and more about my team

I am very scared but also excited as we get to find a topic and read papers on it

The final paper is 70% of the grade though 💀

Final Grade A

Computational Finance

I'm so EXCITED i felt attached to the prof's nice vibe since last time i had him for intro to mathematical finance. He feels very fair

This will be cool, one of the classes i looked forward to this whole degree and it has a 30% final which is unheard of in this department!

Final Grade A

Venture Capital Finance

WHOHOO wrapping up my 2 year class (yep you read it right, i've been doing this program/ class for 1,5 year now)

Love our mentor and supervisor

Scared as i have a leadership position so i have to stay on top of things myself and make it contagious to my team :D

Final Grade A+

Futures and Options

I feel like i slacked in the past to establish the foundational knowledge on the business side of finance; so i will try to attend lectures of this class even though i am not enrolled in

I like the prof, he is a PhD Finance student and is trying to make this course less theory more application which is exactly what i need to balance off the theory heavy finance i have in math

Overall, with working part time, managing a team of volunteers for the fund i am in, and 4 math courses i wish to do my best to optimize time but also be compassionate with myself. Show up for myself like i want to show up for others :D

I do hope that this stacked schedule will lower my spendings as i will be too busy to buy foods BUT it might do the opposite as i will not have enough time to meal prep 🤔
