Back in sophomore year I did a research paper on Google for one of my classes. As a part of it, I wanted the annual report so I could pass it around the class during the presentation. So, I had gone the Investor Relations of Google and requested they mail me an Annual Report. I got the report, used the information in it, passed it around during the presentation, and did well on the project. The funny thing is, I’m still getting their Annual Reports…
I just got another in the mail the other day, making it the third one that I’ve gotten from them. I’d love to stop getting these reports, its a waste of paper because I can read it online, but the problem is I don’t know how to stop getting them. I don’t see anything on the Google Investor Relations website where I can update my preferences. I need to either stop getting them, or update the address so they are not sent to my dorm address and rather to my home address. I just have call or email them and see who I can contact about it.

So, I had my last ethics class today, and our teacher gave us some advice to sum up the semester.
Markets are imperfect. What imperfection does your job depend on?
Laws are incomplete. You need to find a balance between legal risk and maximizing return for shareholders.
Wealth is random. The overwhelming factors that determine wealth, where you were born, who your parents are, intelligence, are random and you have no control over the,
You’re on top. The die is already cast, the people that you are with will make a lot of money. But you will feel poor when you are making five figures because you’re boss is making half a million and living paycheck to paycheck.
Choice is stressful. Are you in or are you out? If you stay in, you might get richer faster, but you might end up in jail. More importantly, when you choose something, you leave something behind; a path not taken.
Death is certain. Make sure whatever you are striving for is what you really want. Make your life count for something.
I’ll expand on this soon, not tonight, because I need to go to bed.
Four years of college have come to end with my final corp fin class ending today. Finals are in less than a week, and then I am done with my undergraduate life. Where has the time gone? I’m getting a very long post ready to recap the last four years, with a whole lot of pictures to go along with it.
