Hi All,
I'm going to be heading out to take the Principles of Finance exam in a couple of hours.
I'm having a hard time staying calm and collected right now. I'm more nervous than usual for some reason. Perhaps 'insecure' is a better description of how I am feeling.
I've learned a LOT of information over the past two weeks and I would normally be feeling quite confident around about now. I think my fear is that they will twist the wording of the questions around so that my understanding of the various formulas and ratios will be rendered useless.
Also, this is a pretty huge subject and there are so many possible questions they could ask me. I'm not worried about the terminology, I have that down pat. It's fear of the blasted math that has me all freaked out...I know how to calculate Z if they give me W, X, and Y. But what if they throw a curveball at me and ask me to calculate W using X, Y, and Z. I hope to God I have learned enough to pull this one off.
I have a lot of equity invested in this exam, but right now it feels more like a liability than an asset. I just hope the rate of return will outweigh the risk, because I'm having trouble seeing the Future Value of this particular project.
I'm sure I'll be fine...I felt much the same way before my Statistics exam, and I ended up doing well on it.
I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darn it people like me!
I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darn it people like me!
I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darn it people like me!

Hopefully I will be able to bring you all a good report in a few hours.
Until then, please send a few prayers my way.
Thanks,
