Today marks my first college exam, Finance. The first of many I feel much like a knight confronting his first dragon. I have my sword in hand and shield at the ready, and yet, like a knight facing down his first dragon I am somewhat unaware of what to expect. The Professor has told us all that the exam has a total of nine math problems and 21 concept definition problems. While I do thank him for his layout explanation I cannot help but feel a sense of foreboding. All I can tell for sure about this dragon is that it has a hypnotic gaze that can cause time to fly faster than a hummingbird and the ability to breath fire causing even the stoutest of knight to hesitate in fear.
And so soon after the first I must confront the second dragon tomorrow, Accounting. I have less knowledge about this dragon than I do about the first. However I know the details of its kind. I can read the Balance Sheet and Income Statement. So do I have reason to fear either of these? Maybe this is not fear, rather the feeling of stealing oneself to just jump. This reminds me of a quote that initially has not impacted me, a quote that I dismissed, but that has gained more and more meaning as I enter my freshman year of college. "When jumping is the sole option, you jump, and try to make it work".
Cheers everyone, see you on the other side of this metaphorical dragon.
