An Outlet: Part 4

24 September, 2018.

I had my Finance Test today and it went well. There was just one place that I messed up in but that can be overlooked.

Then we continued with the Finance Lecture where we started sums on cash management. In the middle, when we were given a 5 minute break, the coordinator called a couple of us who had submitted our admission docs to her the other day. I thought we were in trouble because we submitted ours at the wrong timings. That wasn't the case tho. She wanted to apologise to us for saying "Get Lost" yesterday. Frankly, I don't remember her saying that but it's a good thing that she confronted us.  Shows humility.

Right after that, our Finance professor came to us and asked if we'd be interested in assisting her to write a research paper. There are two topics: Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code and the other is Working Capital. She needs only 2 people for each topic but needs complete dedication from those two kids which is why she asked us first.

She did ultimately open it up for the entire batch but that's alright. I'm more interested in the Bankruptcy Code topic since it is new and will be interesting. I've given my name for it. Let's see what happens. I'm sure there will be some sort of selection process if a lot of students apply for it.

We had to fill faculty review surveys. I've filled the surveys with full honesty. I hope the management or whoever is supposed to monitor these reviews, actually take action based on them.

During the short break, my group were trying to study for the Export Marketing Test but bro, I just couldn't. I was not able to pay attention to anything that I read. I legit gave up in the end. And then the test was awful as expected.

Why am I like this?!!

After coming back home I had my lunch and watched an updated BTS timeline video uploaded by Celeste. I really want BigHit to connect all the dots now. I get a feeling that they're going to keep it open ended, ready for interpretation because the Love Yourself Era has as good as come to an end and there is still no concrete end or direction in sight.

I striked a couple of things off my various lists and it felt great to finally do that. After that I pretty much spent the rest of my day studying for tomorrow's IAPM test. We have to read SO MUCH! I was only able to complete one chapter by the end of today, which is a shame.

To take a break, I watched an Abby Asselin video. If I haven't mentioned before, I follow two students of my age living and studying in another country. I wanted to understand their study and pattern lifestyle so I can somehow try to adapt to that if I ever decide to study abroad.

One of those two is Abby Asselin. She is currently a junior college student at the University of Alabama and is an Accounts and Finance student. Yep, I actually found someone who does not have a wacky major and actually something that I'm interested in too! I love how real she feels through her vlogs. She doesn't try to over exaggerate her persona to appeal to people. She just documents her life as it is and it's interesting to watch it.

She's also majorly into fitness so I'm hoping that that somehow motivates me to try staying fit. Anyways, she uploads very frequently and her vlogs are 20+ minutes on a average so I'm not able to watch the full video at a stretch but I eventually do watch it overtime.

One really great that happened today was that Lily Singh and BTS attended and spoke at the UN Youth2030 Conference! I haven't followed Lily in a long time now but I was really excited when I heard about it. I saw/heard her speech live so that was great. BTS or rather leader Namjoon of BTS also gave a speech and boy it was strong!

I'm happy to see these two entities being such embodiments of change and encouragement.

Also, I would also like to say that the adult aka the ones from before the millennials are surely doing a great job at motivating us and giving us the hope that we have the ability to make a positive difference. They probably credit us more than we deserve but it's commendable that they want to instill us with inspiration so that we realise our potential and take atleast one step towards bettering the future/present.

Thank you! I hope we don't disappoint you.
