Midterm Week

Hello everyone and welcome back to another edition of my blog. Just as a reminder registration for the spring semester is continuing. If you have not already registered then do so soon in order to allow the maximum time to take care of all financial obligations. This week the college is preparing for midterms and also a three day weekend. Midterm week is a good indication of how well you’re doing in the class as well as allow you see how much you have learned. So far I have learned a lot about International Business, Microeconomics, Multimedia presentation and taxation.

International business is pretty much self explanatory and most of the information is common knowledge. A lot of International business actually shows up in my Microeconomics class since Microeconomics is the study of how individuals and firms use scarce resources. One of the major components of International business is trade and Microeconomics focuses on competitive advantage. I have taken Microeconomics before so a lot of the class is refresher for me. We have had already one presentation in multimedia presentations and it went well. The cool thing about it is I think I possibly may have gotten a few more tech support clients. Taxation is moving very slowly as we have only done two chapters in 6 weeks. I did spend a lot on the book but even if we don’t cover what we need to cover at least I have the book to help me do taxes in the future.

I have a lot of projects on my side to get my business off the ground. By the end of this week my website will be up and I will be ordering my next round of business cards with the website and company name on it. I am hoping that my friend Abede will be able to get me my logo by the middle of this week but if not I will put a simple one up for now. I have started to write my business plan and other items that I need to put a focus on the business and something to show to possible investors. I and my partner’s major goal are to be an LLC by the half way point of the year. I was speaking to a lawyer and it is going to cost me and my partner $2200 to get everything done. I am hoping a combination of tax return and the possible stimulus check to help.

Now it is time for the Rebecca and Jose corner. My daughter is a big girl as she has learned to use the bathroom. She hasn’t gotten the whole picture because she has yet to do number 2 in the toilet but she is ahead of the game. She used to tell us after she used the bathroom but now she tells us before hand and waits until she is on the toilet before going. She also continues to learn different phrases and tries her hardest to be the best biggest sister. Jose has entered the brat phrase and I sort of blame myself. During my daughters first year I was always home and I was able to discipline and nip certain bad behaviors before they became a problem. Unfortunately I am not home enough and therefore could not be around to discipline so my son has some bad habits. I have promised myself that on the days I am home I will try to be the bad guy and hopefully that will work as well as my wife will try to carry it out throughout the week. Thanks a lot and I will see you in the middle of the midterm week and I wish everyone a good luck.
