Weekend Reads: Study day

It snowed this week, which meant a snow day for me yesterday. Thank goodness because I really needed to focus on my financial reporting class--the thought process is so outside my realm of comfort, I keep thinking I'm almost there, almost grasping the concept, but then it slips from under me and I'm lost again. The day off meant watching videos, taking more notes, reading reading reading and underlining, and I still feel behind the eight ball. Is there anything you just aren't great at? I'm fine with not being good at accounting, but I'm not fine with poor grades, so I need to whip this weakness into a manageable shape for the next few weeks so I can muscle through it.
