Not for an actual game though. This is something that I say to myself whenever I have any exam for class. I am currently studying for my finance exam. I know in my last blog that I said I was done with my fall semester of my master’s program. I may have lied just a little bit. I was only finished with two out of my three classes in December. In the United States, if we have a final exam for a class, we are used to taking it BEFORE our Christmas break. Over here in Northern Ireland, exams are taken AFTER our Christmas break. Yes, you read that correctly. I’ll type it one more time so it can sink in a little. We. Take. Exams. AFTER. Christmas. This seems like such a cruel and unusual punishment for anyone used to the way things are done in the United States’ academic system. Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do to change this so I am forced to study finance while everyone else is relaxing. Don’t worry, I intend to “crush it” as multimillionaire entrepreneur, Gary Vaynerchuk would say. While I may not have a picture to match my excitement for the subject of finance, here is a picture of a few of my classmates who will be taking this exam head-on with me. #GetYourFinanceOn
