I think maybe you left out some words in your notes, and annual yield is total interest earned EACH YEAR divided by cost.

Eta: according to my recently acquired MBA, I should know this rather than guessing, but I don't. I can, however, look it up if need be.

Could very well be.

FIVE FREAKING HOURS I've spent on this problem.

Takes me back to my semester of Statistics. Spend the ENTIRE weekend on homework, finish maybe a third.

Yep, still pleased with the choice of Tap Dance over Econ.

Um, not to discourage you, vw, I'll have to take the Econ eventually, and ummm, go you! You're finished with that problem!

Tap Dance is always an excellent choice, Epic. I approve.

Thanks all! I'm off to treat myself to tv, then go to bed. I'm sure there will be more questions in the future, but this was really, really helpful.

Yep, I'd been wanting to take it for years and it finally came together this semester. Yay!

Now, between that, and Lindy Whips and Tricks, and Smooth Blues, and Irish Ceili - if I don't lose some weight this semester, me and God are gonna have to have a talk about what's a Slow Metabolism and what's Just Mean.

That will be a workout, no doubt about it! Sounds like lots of fun.

DH and I are planning to take a ballroom calss through the municipal leisure/education program this spring. I'm really looking forward to it!

Oh fun! Ballroom's on my list (of Things to Learn, not THE LIST). Matter of fact, I was under the impression that my Blues class was supposed to be Foxtrot. Blues is fun too (though it sometimes leads to tussling talk). You and DH'll have a blast!

Ahh, tussling talk makes sense in a Blues context.

You and DH'll have a blast!

I'm sure we will! I took one or two ballroom classes every year of college, and DH had a great time learning our waltz for our First Dance. He actually suggested taking a class soon - I've been reluctant to bring it up because I didn't want to drag him to something because I liked it, but after we heard a story on NPR about how good for you it is, he's totally down with the ballroom.

tussles with everyone

Hey there! I bet you're all asleep, or something - heaven knows what time it is over there. Actually, no, it's yesterday over there, isn't it? So you might be awake. (In my world it's 9.15am on Friday.)

ANYway, I'm all yay! because last night I went along to the January clubnight/workshop of The Bangkok Community Theatre, and on Sunday I'm going to auditions, and DAMN, I'd forgotten how very very very much I love drama. Love it. Last night's workshop was about auditioning, and we looked at a couple of monologues, and they were fab, and I was all 'OMGHowHaveIManagedToKeepAwayFromThisStuff!!!'

In contrast, on Wednesday I signally failed to make it to my choir meeting for the first rehearsal for the new thing we're doing, but that's because of the jetlag. Yes. Which is almost gone - I'm managing to stay awake for more than five minutes after stepping back into the flat.

Yay! Acting!

Also, damn, I look fabulous today. Pink really suits me, particularly with my hair back to Really Very Blonde.

(Also, in the spirit of New Years' Resolutions, I'm now actively working on losing some of the weight I've regained since being in The Home of Yummy Food Which Is Mostly Fried. So far, am feeling v. virtuous. Also just feeling better, because sugar makes me feel like ass. Have refused various cakes and sweets this week and given away a packet of Ferrero Rocher left over from Christmas gifts from kids. Go me!)
