School's Out...

... for ever.

I've been doing some thinking over the last few days, and I've decided to drop out of the Accounting course I've been doing.

Because I missed the first exam back in December 2006 (being away with Dad when he was in hospital), and deferred my graduation for a year, I would have had to finish the course in June... and with all that's happened in the last year or so, with being short-staffed at work, and Dad being ill & passing away, and everything else, I was just too far behind... and missing 2 weeks to move house has just been the final straw.

In all, in the next month I would have had to have done:

1 x exam (which I'm nowhere near ready for, so probably would fail - again).
3 x 5 hour simulations (other exams).
and lots of work on my portfolio of evidence and ticklists... as well as visits from one of the tutors to the office to see me doing things like operating a computer (dur... you turn it on here) and being aware of health & safety (don't stand in a basin of water and switch a light on... that kind of thing).

So, to those people who say I'm stupid... I guess you're right...

Oh, heck I'm in the process of doing my portfolio at the moment, I just get started on one thing then I'm told I need to produce evidence for another, as well as trying to complete the core elements, all in all it does your head in! So I know the feeling.

You're not stupid, Ally! Some people are just better with numbers than others...I'm not good with numbers at all! :)
