Chapter 7 and test review

Lite night for student attendance. Still had a good lecture after handing back the test. BS and IS format is still a big issue. If you can't do financials you are destined to a life of dissappointment and frustration.

The internal control lecture is the hardest one for me to get through. I always have so many stories that I get side tracked too often. We got done about half of the lecture.

We found out Reyna loves paying $30 for a cup of coffee. Denise says there's 3 feet of snow at the summit. Candice's mom is an IT watchdog at a company she won't specify.

I caught myself telling the same story for the 3rd time. You know the semester must be inching it's way along when I start repeating myself over and over again.

Here's the info on that career thing I saw.
