capitalism, a love story

finanlly, i got one day off after finished several assessments. and last week, i got the result of my last MKX 9550's presentation, i got D. i was happy with that. also, in last week, i had AFF 5130 presenation, a group presentation. our company is called EBET, a small company which engaged in gambling. and the topic is acquisation. we needed choose a company to acquire EBET, and we choose Crown. but the tutorial said, the reasion why Crwon should acquire EBET is not very strong and direct. but i really did not buy it. but what should i say, nothing. maybe i did not enough research. another presenation was conducted yesterday, AFF 5100. also a group presentation, but i rarely involved in it, because my major duty of the group assessment is the assignment, but not the presentation. in the presentation is case stuedy- ABC learning. after reading the related material, i am so surprise that this company still operates in Australia. but maybe under new management. the Australian government bailout the company, but i do not know what happen now.ABC learning also operates in some areas in VIC, but just in some countryside, such as Gelong, not in Melbourne.
i watch a movie tonight, called "capitalish, a love story". i downloaded last month, but i did not have time to watch it before. it is really a long film, about 2 hours. i do not know why it called a love story. there is no scense about love. i think it is a documentory. generally, it talked about the stuff about capitalism. to be honest, i do not know what is capitalism, and what is socialism. in the movie, it calls Obarma is a socialism leader. in the first half of the movie, it stated several stories about American families. their houses is taken by the banks. and the second half of the movie, it generally about the subprime. and some subsequent events of the financial crisis. i do not know the story or the statements in the film is true or not, but it really impressed. such as the big companies- P & G, bank of Amercia and so on, buys the life insurece for their employees, but the beneficiary is not the employees' relatives, but the companies. so when the employee is dead, the companies can make profit through that. that is really terriable thing. the director of the film also think that the US government should not give the banks that much money, say 70 billion money, to help the banks pull through the financial crisis. but actually, the government did not know how banks spend that huge funds. the 70 billion dollars are from the taxpayer's pocket. also, the director thinks that free market is basical wrong thing. well, i do not think it in the same way. but it is really a hard thing for the government to find out the break-even point of the control and freedom of the market.
same days ago, there was an accident in Iceland- volcanic eruption. it affected the airline industry a lot. it lots a lot of money, around 1 billion US dollar. really a lot. what's wrong with the earth. so many tragedies.
today, i receive the letter from CPA, it states that i pass the migration assessment. well, i hope everything goes well.

first week

this is the first week after Easter Holiday, as mentioned before, i did not have holiday...

On this Monday, i had two assessments, an assignment, this was a group assignment, but we did not sure what we wrote about, especially in Portor's part. in this semester, i have three subjects all learned about Porter's five analysis. what an odd...and the same subject, i had a presentation, just 10 mins, but i was so nervous, i did not know why. i had notes in my hand, but i did not use that...but overall, i thought my presentation was fine, i will know my marks next Monday, i hope not bad, Hoho
Tuesday was fine, just normal lecture and tutorial, but next Tuesday, another presetation is coming...
Today, in the morning, MGX 9230, i have not finished that assignment, but the teacher said the deadline is next Monday, that's cool. Jeffrey is the teacher of MGX 9230, he is really nice. :)
tonight, a test, AFF 5100, it was really easier than i excepted. i spent less time to prepare this exam, because i think it just worth 10 marks, but i did answer all the question, i hope i can get 7 or something, wish me luck. and next Thursday... another presentation...so many presentations...
another news from China, China attacted from earthquake again, in Qinghai...i do not know the details...sorry for that... recently, so many earthquakes...and some people said 2012 is really coming... well, i do not know again...i hope everything is fine in China...when there is terrible thing happen, there always with donates, well , in some forums in China, people always want the Government can publish the donates funds in public, so that people can know how their donate spent. but, in fact, i do not know the details. but i rarely heard the Government put the details of the donate funds...transparency...transparency...
24, an American TV show, almost finishs, and some people said this will be the last season...this is really a good TV show, really...i hope there will be season 9.
tomorrow, i have to finish my MGX 9230 assignment...

today is the last day of the Easter holiday...
i do not think it is really a holiday for me, because so many assignments need to finish.
i just finish the maketing assignments.
there will be a test on next Thursday, it is AFF 5100, but i have not prepared for that.
and i have a presentation on tomorrow, but i have not remeber all the stuff.
the assignment of MGX 9230, i finished 2000 words, but there still needs 1500 words to go.
about AFF 5130, i learned nothing during the holiday..
i spent almost all the holiday time at home. i went to shopping for several times, but only for food. and got a haircut. that's all about my holiday. omg...what a pity...
MONASH...what shold i say...
wish me luck...

long break

middle break is comming, but i do not think it is really a break for me. so many assignments are due on week 6. there are about 4 assignments, i think.
among those assignments, i think the marketing assignment is the most easy one. there are only 2000, and that is a group assignment. but so far, i have worked for it for 1 and half days, only finished few of it.
and i almost finished my presentation of MKX 9550, but it still needs to be motified.
there is a small test, AFF 5100, that maybe hard, it just worths 10 marks, but needs a lot of reading.
the most huge one is MGX 9230, 3500 words, and i have no clue so far. the first thing i need to do is find a relative case. i will work on it after i finish MKX 9550
Daylight saving will be end at tonight. i can sleep one more hour tonight. LOL. but i do sleep a lot recently, maybe 10 hours. that is not a good news for me.
oh, the important thing is yesterday was good friday, and tomorrow is Easter day. and that is why we have middle break. when i was in VU, there were two weeks middle break in April, but in Monash, only one week. what a pity. i do need more break. i do not know why there is an Easter day, but i do know that's a religion festival. once, i watch South Park, it talked about Easter day, but i think that cartoon made fun of Easter day, but the fact. anyway, because of Easter day, i have long break, actually not too long.
i just remeber one thing, last week, on the tutorial of AFF 5050, i had a presentation, a group presentation, it just worthed 5 marks, but the whole presentation took 1 hour. so long. the presentation was about tutorial question, and the tutor said we did very good, almost all the answers were correct.
a news from real world, Australian government wants google blocked some results of research, but google refused. well, we will see what happen
anyway, happy Easter Day.
