First, about my Theory of Finance class. As you can read from the title, it's very easy for everyone to fall into the trap that it is a basic finance course. However, things were not going the way I wanted it to be, it is completely about Derivatives, specifically about Pricing and Hedging. whooo. That's the first academical finance course that I ever take, hahaha (laughing over my silliness of not reading the syllabus, haha). I know what you are thinking, you must be saying, "why don't you drop that course", but things are more complicated than you think here.
1. it's 0.5 SMU C.U. (credit unit) and I can't drop it and find another 0.5 c.u. course in SMU about finance. so, my other 0.5 C.U. finance course here (Emerging Countries and Capital Markets) would be wasted, hahaha
2. It's just usual Suta, an over-confident-kind-of person (I can be quite pessimistic some times) which thinks that he can learn fast enough to cope with the lesson.
To cut the story short, I am now having 2 books which I should read before Tuesday because my 90%-of-the-final-grade exam is coming in 10 days. Financial Institutions and Markets, 7th Edition (771 pages) and Options, Futures, and other Derivatives, 7th Edition (822 pages).
Don't worry, I know I won't read all of them, but still, it's a very thick book.
Moving on, I spared some time last night to watch England vs Slovakia. It was a good game, we won (yup, I consider myself part of England, haha) 4-0. I really enjoyed how Gerrard and Rooney played together in the first half. It was also the first game that we played wearing the new kit, like below. I personally don't really like it, but the technology behind it is very impressing. So, I don't mind if someone wants to give it to me, hahaha.
Third thing is about my Easter holiday. I just got the news that my friend was successful in her application for a Schengen visa in Spanish Embassy (she's a Turkish, so she needs a Schengen visa too). I am now preparing for my visa but unlike other people, I want to apply for the Schengen visa at Czech Embassy with a hope that they will give more days in my visa details. (they are the country with one of the lowest living cost in Schengen Area in case you don't know the reasoning behind my decision)I still have many things to say about the last one week, but I don't think anyone will be interested with my academic life busyness. hahaha. So, here I am starting a new day which is my first 23-hour-a-day kind of day (it's Daylight Saving Time in Europe starting from 2:00 AM today).
I thank God for the last one week and I hope the next one week will be more blissful.
(I have exam coming up on April 4th, a paper due on that day also, and some other homeworks, so I can bet that it'll be an even busier week than this week).
See you
God bless you all.
