My Dummy Hand (Part 2).
So I left off seeing Vishald in the caf and we started to study. On the long wooden table we had our books and papers surrounding us like a war room. I get back to work on the case that I was trying desperately to finish before I ran into Vishald. Across the table Vishald takes out his earbuds connected to his MP3 player. "Ok man, we do the twenty questions right now, and in 1 hour we do the cases."
"Man, I gotta finish this case, I gotta."
"Alright man." He puts his earbuds back in and goes back to his method of studying. I go back to writing down the case answer with references to the textbook. I'm looking up "arm's length transactions", "unrealized gains", ethical responsibilites and other things related to shares. When I finally finish it is around 12:30. I give Vishald the finished case to study and I go in for some french fries. She puts a bunch in the basket and puts it in the deep fryer. Walks away to talk to someone for a bit in the backroom. I look attentively at the grease flying up out of the fryer and back into the bubbling substance. She walks back in and shakes the fries around and moves them around with the tongs. "For here or to go?"
"For here." I said. "No wait, to go."
She highlights something on the small peice of paper which is my order form. Puts the finished fries into a small plastic container and hands both that and the peice of paper to me. "Thanks." I said.
I sit back down with Vishald and eat my french fries and Vishald goes in to get some food as well. He comes back with a pita. "This is a big pita." He says and chomps into it. "They did it wrong though."
"Yeah they never mix pitas unless you ask."
"No; It's not that. This stuff should be over there." He says moving his head in the direction. I really have no idea what he's talking about so I go back to studying.
"Ok" He says. "We should do the cases now."
"I haven't even looked at these twenty short answers yet, I gotta do them man."
"Alright man."
I write down my answers even though we have the answers already written down.
"Man don't waste your time writing them down."
"It's how I study, if I write it down I'll memorize it."
He goes back to eating the pita.
We exchange arguements back and forth, disagreements on accounting practices and definitions of terms. We eventually come to an agreement for each arguement however, this is how it always is when we study. We try calling up Anosh to see what he's up to and whether he is coming. He's still in Toronto but said he'd try to make it up. After an hour and a half we go to the library to see if he's there in the library. We go up to the fourth floor looking but no one is there. A bunch of students consume the table and creating a noise level like no other. "We couldn't study here anyways." I said. "Let's go outside." Vishald suggests. So we go outside the library and sit on the steps in the main "podium" area. As we sit there I try to bring out my notes on my lap to study. "How long til the exam?" I ask.
"In about half an hour."
"Ok man, we gotta go inside the Great Hall again to study."
"Man, it is so nice outside, come on."
"Man... we need to study!"
"Alright fine."
"Plenty of time for sun after this bad boy." I said. We walked back into the Great Hall to get in some last minute studying done.
Ok well that's it for now. I will add in Part 3 later on today. Right now I have to go to Karens to study for my retail marketing exam tomorrow.
Peace.
