The Original Sin: Finance
"I just want you to know that I'm REALLY bad at math."
"NO YOU'RE NOT."
"Umm, yes, I am."
"NO YOU'RE NOT."
"Umm, yes, I am."
"No, you are not. You are participate in class, and I think you will do just fine here."
"There are a lot of things I do not understand, I don't really know what pie is"
"You don't have to, just memorize the number I gave you"
"Do u mind if i ask an awful lot of questions during class, because I get lost a lot"
"Haha! I don't COUNT how many times u ask ,so ask away. But I am telling you, You're going to be fine. I am here to help if you need anything."
"Ok, thanks."
This conversation helped me realize that maybe majoring in finance isn't the worst idea in the world. I've been talking to a lot of people in the finance major, and all of them have minors, most of them have jobs, and very few will tell you the math in it is hard. Prioritizing for social events is not a big problem. I am hoping it'll be the same for me! If it fails, I can try modelling. I was asked to participate in a photo shoot for bookstore merch, it was a fairly sassy afternoon of over 300 shots taken. It made me wish I were a model.
Today I heard someone almost pronounced my name right. It felt like I was back in Kuwait again, hearing him say it. And then he just kept saying it about fifty more times until the ball he was playing with fell on the floor. Day by day, things get better. I'm still meeting a lot of people, still adjusting.
