Well, this Spring quarter will be my last quarter is a junior at UCSB. Once next quarter ends, I will officially be a fourth year university student (aka ’senior’). This spring quarter I am going to attempt to take four classes (16 units). The four courses are:

Chicano Studies 138 - Barrio Popular Culture lead by Professor Garcia : Explores various manifestations of popular and mass culture in Chicano urban and semi-rural communities throughout the southwest. Both secular and religious cultural phenomena will be analyzed (lowriders, saints, music, etc.). Relationships to mainstream culture will be examined.
Economics 100B - Microeconomic Theory lead by Professor Kilenthong : Economic theory relating to imperfectly competitive product markets, input market, and welfare, with emphasis on applications. Includes an introduction to game theory.
Economics 136B - Intermediate Accounting lead by Professor Maass : An in-depth analysis of recognition, measurement, classification, and valuation issues in financial reporting within the framework of generally accepted accounting principles. Case studies and microcomputer analysis software will be integrated into the course.
Economics 137A - Managerial Accounting lead by Professor Watson : A two-quarter series covering the theory and application of managerial accounting concepts. The course investigates the interaction between economic theory, financial accounting, and management decision making for planning and control.

The UCSB Winter 2007 quarter results are in and I am quite pleased on how I did.

My grades are as follows:
Economics 100A - Microeconomics Theory: A
Economics 136A - Intermediate Accounting: A+
Ecconomics 138A - Income Taxation: B

So a GPA of 3.69 (4.0 scale) for the quarter. I am very relieved about my grades and I have been stressed about my performance on some of the finals, but it seems like I did pretty decent. This past quarter has been a crazy one with many projects, assignments, and exams, but I am glad I survived and made it through and I also learned a great deal.

This week is my break and it is all about relaxation and sleep–much needed sleep!

I have also been updating my website as you can see by the new theme and random image header of my blog and I hope to make other little additions which I have not yet decided. And I also would like to post more articles this week while I have some time.

Well, this is all for now till my text post. I realized it has been a few months since my last post and I am going to try to post a little more often. Cheers!
