Joe's School (ex-Travel) Diary

This blog is a mish-mash of experiences that I have had since its inception. Orignally, it allowed me to stay in communication while overseas summer 2006 with family and friends. Now it survives as just a pulse of what happening with me and since I am back in school full time now, there isn't as much travel. Still, read, laugh, share, comment, suggest and give me the link to your blog so I can check it out. Thanks For Reading, Joe Dumesnil

Class Schedule, ID Theft and Condo For Sale

My Monday and Wednesday I only have one class, Industrial Accounting. This gives me a full day on campus to take of business and be near all the resources, kind of nice seeing as I live quite a ways from campus. Funny thing is this professor is from Louisville, recognized my name and we reminisced about our most recent visits there. His is John Ballentine . He started off class with a little ice breaker story of his that invovled the theft of his identity by an ex VP of Enron with the name John Ball"A"ntine. He said it had been a 3 year ordeal and that whatever they tell about it being a pain in the butt is an understatement. Turns out that this got caught 3 years by him for stealing his ID, and still continued to use it. What made it difficult to progress to conviction was that this guy just wanted his ID, not the free stuff he could have gotten from. He would take out loans and kee current on them... hence when the file landed in a case workers lap, they would look at the acount, see that it was current and put it to the side as a mixup in files, not an ID theft case. What a bummer. I pray that I don't have to deal with that.

Moving along, Tuesdays and Thursdays I have 4 classes:
Mathematical Economics - Practical application and use of math in all economics
Natural Resource Economics - mineral and other resource specific economics
Operations Research Methods - aka Management Science/Optimization/Utilization
Economics and Decision Making - strategy and firm specific economic decisions
9:30-4:30, long day

Friday nothing, or I guess better put, no class.

So good to be back in a classroom again, full time and focused. I have tried the online learning thing and it just wasn't the kind of learning experience I want; not for this kind of pursuit at least.

On another note, I had a meeting with my real estate agent this evening and we took some pics of the place for the getting it on the market. I am going to send her one more pic of sunrise on Denver from my roof b/c the view up there is what sold me. Keep your fingers crossed for a successful and expedient sale.


Thats it for now, hope this finds you well.

Check out this pic of Denver in the Fall taken from my roof.

Again, thanks for keeping me up to date. Sounds like you have been busy since returning to Denver. Is Andrew still with you?

Still miss you.
