What would you do?

One more day to unemployment!

30 minutes to Friday.

Because I'm only as original as Jared Leto.
:O

and 2000 words nowhere close to an essay.

Before Sunset.

What you need for a good night's up.

1) A double shot skinny latte at 9.00 pm after 3 cups of coffee earlier in the day
2) Sigur Ros on AKG Quincy Jones headphones
3) CAPM Roberto style
4) Undecipherable Math notation
5) 6 classmates

There you have it, a perfect start to the morning.

Growing Pains.

Zits.
Heightened self-awareness.
Awkward.
Bashful.
Out-of-body experience.

Oh like puberty all over again!

Word.

GG.

Horror Show on Repeat.

I don't know la : (
Where to start.

I want to go home, I want to go home, I want to go home : (((((

oh no.

I've lost count of how many times I've had to type 'Intuitively' now.

Clearly, this is not good.
Suggestions of more convincing alternatives are welcomed.

Flirting.

With 10,000 words of my imagination.

Editing Nightmare.

No slacking!

Working working like a mad rabid dog right now!

This is My Adviser.

Wisdom.

Harry Johnson, has anyone heard of him? He sat on the boards of Chicago and LSE. He was the most revered economist of my time. He has published multiple papers, unfortunately, no one remembers him because he did not have anything named after him. The lesson is, get something named after yourself, and you will be immortal. Like the Laeffer Curve, any 5 year old could have done that. Remember to write your ideas on a napkin.

AWWWW.

Free.

I've got my life back,

Now, what do I do with it?

A Mouthful.

What a day! A morning of frantic studying after a fitful night in bed praying for mercy for an afternoon paper, then the very much dreaded open book exam, walking into the exam hall with Einstein like classmates carrying a feet high worth of material and books I've never seen in my life! (which to my surprise disproved my initial hypothesis of a correlation between amount of material and level of intelligence), a basketball showdown between our econs lecturers + honours crew, watched the God forsaken slovakia vs NZ soccer match thinking it was going to be the Brazil vs North Corea game, leaving 15 minutes into the second half to check out the ball of flame at the Fed Square, then celebrated with the New Zealanders their goal at the 90th minute at the Transport Bar.
I couldn't have asked for a better day : )

Sleep Easy Now.

Its comforting to know I'm not the lone lost soul.

Heavyweight.

On average, which of the following is the heaviest?
A. Baby whale
B. Baby elephant

Because I'm paying good money to be an economist and not a biologist, I'll leave this question to the experts.

Jen's utility function
u(final exams) = u(distractions) + beta u(foodconsumption)

where beta>1

Mates.

Background:

Simon: Paul Samuelson was once challenged to name one proposition in all of the social sciences which is both true and non-trivial. His answer was comparative advantage.

Now, my answer, though I'm not Samuelson, would have been the VCG Mechanism.

At this point, my mind drifts away to the man boob jokes, the excessive porn-age I've been forced to listen to, tofu burger wagers on the footy attendance, and paying out the white boys who don't do bubble tea.

What, Week 11 already?
I'm missing first semester already : (

P.S. I've only recently realised I've got a lot of 'Simon Says'. I shall make a formal introduction of this mysterious Simon person at the end of this semester : )

Lectures.

Simon - This is the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Now, you can impress your mom.

Simon - Should I work this out on the board? I don't want to embarass myself.

Simon - Now, if I were a good lecturer I would be able to proove this.

Friday micro lectures are the best!

Talk about intense.

I don't know what I was talking about when I used to rant about my workload.

Pishposh, compared to what they're throwing at us right now.
Last year, that was fiddlesticks.
