I'm IN!

Congratulations, the department of Statistics and Actuarial Science is pleased to inform you of the approval of your application into the Actuarial Science program.
We would like to remind you that unless you want to pursue more than one program, you should withdraw from the Faculty or Program that you are currently enrolled in. You should be allowed to proceed with on line registration into our ACMA courses in a few days by visiting http://go.sfu.ca/ You must satisfy the prerequisites of each course.

Note that the processing of the admissions may take longer than expected due to the end of term and the holiday season. Should this be the case, we ask that you do not email anyone (including staff, program advisor and instructors) to enquire about your status. There are enough places in all ACMA courses for all students approved. Special cases can be dealt with during the first week of classes in January.

Best of luck.

I'm about 4 maps away from beating Brood War if anyone cares. No new marks yet. Oh I started using this Blogger account because Wordpress is just ever so slow when you host your database with freesql.org. I'm still trying desperately to get into phpMyAdmin to pull my database off freeSQL and it's simply not working.

DONE!!!

Marks Update

A and A+. Gimme one more A+ pls!!!

It shouldn’t have been an A. I was sooo going for an A+ in 285 with 2 AWESOME midterms; I just died on the final. Too much ACMA studying and not enough 285 studying. And please at least an A in 308. Man I would cry if I get any lower for this stupid course.

Friggin' ACMA

Another entry on ACMA.

The grades are already out. OMG can you believe it? The exam was Tuesday night and now the grades are out on Thurday?!?! LOL I guess like what the TA told me, “Well yeah we sorta stayed up the whole night marking, but a lot of the papers were pretty quick to mark.” *lotsa 0’s hint hint*.

B+.

My first ever B+. All that work for a B+. Jesus Christ. And it was barely a B+ too. Apparently my final wasn’t as great as I thought. I only scored 69.5 and winded up with a final mark of 72.3. B+ range was 72 to 79 inclusive. Oh man I felt pretty pwn-ed when Parker told me that. I now officially love assignments. Seriously.

But he wouldn’t tell me how many people got A’s though. Now Evan and I are scared that we won’t get admitted into the program because there might be 20 A’s for all we know (highly doubtful). Waiting sucks…

Oh where are all the smart ACMA people… lemme suck your brains!!!

ACMA Final

Well ACMA is over.

Overall the final actually surprised me quite a bit because most of it were recycled questions from assignments or old midterms. I was a little tense during the morning because I was redoing old assignment questions and I kept getting them WRONG–totally freaked me out for bit. But I managed to keep my cool, which is definitely essential for ANY exam. I answered almost everything, except the loan amortization one. The question seemed really screwed up. The sinking fund accumulates back to the 25,000 loan (I think?) but it’s supposed to be only 20% of the 20 equal payments… which would cause the loan balance to go down because you are paying more than the interest on the loan… which just fucks everything up. Haha I was swearing so much during the exam!!! I kept mouthing stuff like “Shit, fuck, oh shit, I’m stupid…” throughout the exams. LOL… ACMA is crazy because there are SOOOOO many places for you to make an easy mistake and get the wrong number.

I think I did pretty well.

Ok please let me did well…

Long time no see blog…

Final week. 2 down, 3 to go. Stat… I dunno. I feel that I did pretty crappy on it; my midterms were fine though. Hopefully it will be an A… was hoping for A+ though. Macm today was fine though.

Haha it’s pretty funny look at my ACMA comment from a while back. Its final tomorrow still scaries the shit out of me but I think I will get through it… hopefully at least pull an A-.
Oh man I can’t wait to finish exams and party. I want to beat Starcraft - Brood War LOL.
