Q2

Q2 began bright and early Monday morning and with it, a couple of new courses: Financial Management & Policies and Global Economies & Markets. For an English and History major like me, classes like these strike fear in my heart.
... it's the numbers. Quantitative analysis just doesn't seem to come naturally to me. In fact, it's sort of a foreign language. Yet here I am: reading income statements like I once read Jane Austen and checking ratios like I used to check grammar. And that's a good thing. Because if there's one thing I realized in Q1, it's that I'm about to learn a phenomenal amount about subjects I once shirked from. Ask me again in a couple weeks and I may not be fluent. But I just may be conversant.
