Passwords for class materail

The best part of the valuation class is the password revealing. Our prof comes up with some real good passwords for his files.. TYpically, he has his files secured with a password.. and he gives out the password asthe file is requiredin the class.
Some of his passwords for the files:
NEW AMERICA DRILL - SLICK (its the oil compnay.. )
Capital Question - SCHADENFREUDE (Its a phrase in germany whihc translates to - I would be happy for your incompetence or failure .. in short GLOAT)
AIR BUS PPT- WINGARDIUM( this is the part of the sentence that Harry Pottr utters before he waves his magic wand)
And there are more to come..

start of the new module

classes have started.. and its hard to believe that its already been three weeks since..
The best part of thismodule is that one of the subject is damn interesting.. challengin.. the worst part is that, thats the only subject thats better.
Valuation and Analysis: awesome teacher, awesome professor.. Its amazing how he explains the fundamentals. Makes sure every body understands it, but not as his responsibility, but as a demand.
Organizational Behaviour: somehow i feel that this professor is a gay.. No.. he does not wear pink, not has feminine body moments, but I picturized gays as someone, and he turned out to be exatly what I had in my mind as Gay.. thats anotehr story,, and Yes, the subject sucks and the prof sucks. Worst part of the already worse course - the class has a 30% weightage for the class participation.. That kind of unleased all the crappish bullshit from some of my class mates during the class. As such, the subject is too conceptual, qualitative, crappish.. designed for HR's.. Considering the fact that I hate HRs more than any cult in the world, I dont see any interest in this subject.. There goes anoother B grade.
Operations Management: Did you ever expect once-a radio jockey to be a professor.. And trust me, the ITOM class cannot get any interesting that his.. He comes up with prety witty anecdotes in the class..
Finance: The subject is awesome. but the teaching of our professor is bad.. She is from Cyprus,, and one hot professor... The drawback of thissubject is that, the professor, though she is competitive in Finance research, she is simply not good at teaching!! well,, We are to suffer for this, as this is our major..

Apart from this, I also auditing Accounting class.. I didnt like the subject nor the teacher though, yet,, i look forward for the same subject to be taught by one of my fave prof.

In thre weeks from now, it would be exams time again..

Happenings: Didnt get through Mercer and UBS..
Forecast: gloomy
My outlook: optimistic
