New Blogger

And I lost my luggage on the flight from Boston to New York. Congratulations America, for making me believe in your system that little bit less.

Fuck this man. Getting pissed off. Only good thing is that my girlfriend has to get a whole new wardrobe. ARGH!

I'm Done With Finals

What the fuck is wrong with Blogger?

I posted twice, and both times I got this big fat 0 on my damn post.

Can't be bothered anymore.

Shit. Anyway, Alex and Jesse, on my way next week. See you guys soon!

Overheard at the UofC

By not coming to class, you are all breaking your social contract with me and that makes me want to break my social contract with you by giving you awful tests and pop quizzes you are sure to fail. So, without the social contract, are we just all running naked down Ellis Street, then? ARE WE?

- core phy sci class of nearly 100 with only 20 students in attendance

TA: What's a good number between 10 and 16?
Student: …Twelve?
TA: We're going to want either 13 or 14.

- problem session for calc 130s

"Death is not a phenotype, it is just the end of your experiment"
- overheard in bio class.

Guy: Ugh....Honors Analysis is like Suicide 201: only for those who failed 101.

Why Economics

It's times like these (right before an Econ final) that I ask myself why the hell did I study Economics.

And it's articles like these

http://www.zambia.co.zm/articles/friedman.htm

http://www.freetochoose.net/article_1.html

That remind me why I chose it in the first place.

Forget the math, the math is just for proofs, the ideas behind are the real fun and substance that Economics is based on. Now I just wished Chicago focussed less on Math and more on actual Economics.

from http://www.mskousen.com/sknews.php?id=202. Left, George Stigler, Milton Friedman and JK Galbraith.
