I sit in my first Introduction to Financial Accounting lecture. The first few lines the lecturer said implied that this module is difficult. Something along the lines of 16% failed the first time last year.
I really do not know what to expect.  The class test could be a problem. I don't really like class tests. People said first year in A&F is no problem, but the course director says otherwise.

Wait... If first year intro to F.Acc is difficult, second year will be very difficult, third year will be impossibly hard.

Well, it cannot be more difficult than UCL's Economics. So much respect for those in that course...
There is no way City's second year Financial Econometrics can be any more difficult than UCL's Quantitative Economics and Econometrics for second year. I tried looking at some books in that UCL library about Econometrics, near the stairs. The Statistics involved is mind blowing.

Finally in second year, there is the derivatives. Yes, I can finally learn about the Black Scholes Model and the greeks. 







I went for the Banking, Finance and Consultancy fair. It was a chaos. I spoke to some some employees of various companies. Some of them seem to be very enthusiastic about their jobs: Tax, Audit, Advisory, etc
