I screwed up-big time. My prof in my small business management class bumped up the due date on a unit exam & I missed it.
I lost 50 points, and when there aren't that many assignments, that makes a big dent in your grade. So I have 69.74%...a D+. I need at least a C-(I think). So the big problem is I have a tough assignment, worth 125 points...& it is giving me a migraine! I have been working on it for weeks, & asking the prof questions, but I still don't get it!! It's an online class, I've re-read the book a thousand times, & looked at tons of examples....I'm still confsued!
I'm just getting frusterated. I figured if I get 90 out of 125 points, I will have 70%...I'm good with that. I have a final exam & two 25 point exams after this, but I always ace the 25 point exams & I'm pretty sure I can do good on the final...it's just this assignment!
I have to write an executive summary, marketing plan, operational plan, and financial plan for a business I chose. I chose to own & start my own dog boarding kennel(it's been a dream of mine for a long time). I figured numbers with my parents help(they are self employed) & I'll be in the hole $1,500 the first year! Who would give me a loan then!?!? I'm calling a boarding kennel tomorrow, the only one I can think of that isn't run by a vet...to see if she will meet me while I am at the HS. I am going to see if she can offer any insight on how full her kennel usually is, how many spaces she has, & anything else she can help me on. I've got the format figured out, I just don't know for sure what a kennel license would cost, or where to call to find out, etc. I am hoping she can help me perfect my numbers. My big problem is I thought I would be 40% full year round(it owuld average out over they year), but my numbers are awfully low for that. I have re-checked them, & I *think* that a clean, well run kennel would have more occupants than 40%...or else I have too many kennels. I figured the costs for two larger kennels(double dog occupany for 2 dog families), but I don't know if they would make any money! There is someone in town who wants a kennel license, but she doesn't like me because I yelled at her for not checking her dogs for heriditary health issues, etc(she breeds).
Sorry! I ramble worse than normal when I a super nervous!
