I’ve been putting my articles on hold for the time being so that I can fully focus on “first things first” being my studies so I can graduate and grow from being a student and transition to being an fully fledged “adult”.  Scary, but responsibilities are awaiting me and I can’t avoid it any longer, so I have to take it head on.  Furthermore, my Fitness updates are being put on hold until I’m done.  I’ll probably figure out a way to remain active while in full-throttle study mode.

My efforts in prepping for finals is still taking a backseat due to assignments coming due. I’ve been able to squeeze in a little bit of studying here and there in order to understand Joint Ventures as well as Variable Interest Entities & Segment disclosures, but it isn’t the ideal situation where I can take massive action in order to fully understand the “why” of what I’m studying and map out the relationships of what I’m learning now and connecting it with previously learned concepts in order to get a “bigger picture understanding” of the materials with respect to business combinations.

For Corporate Tax, I’m still clueless as to what the tax sections mean, due to the challenging comprehension issues posed by reading “legalese” in the Canadian Income Tax act. I’ll be looking at it more in depth than ever when the weekend swings around. As my business combinations textbook states, “while studying the trees, we must not lose sight of the forest,” which clearly reflects my situation.
