This my econometrics professor’s philosophy on the pronounciation of the Greek letter : “Phee, not phye - we’re in Economics here, not pumping a keg.”

Professor is a straightforward man. He holds office hours by appointment only, follows the Chicago Cubs, is not afraid to divulge class feedback calling him “rude” and “downright obnoxious” and holds much concern for our learning. He knows that we want the grade, he wants us to learn. We’ll meet each other in the middle, he says.

College is a funny place. We were still reviewing conditional probabilities in an upper division class - didn’t we have those problems on the SATs? People are so glued to their computers that it’s hard to imagine life back then when we weren’t perpetually sitting in front of the monitor. What did we do back then? Actually go outside and see our friends instead of i-chatting and Facebook stalking, I guess. We drink to get drunk, shit goes down and we all talk about it the next day. College would be boring without laptops and booze, not to mention non-existent. Thank you Dell. Thank you Popov.

(Haha, since when did you drink for taste anyway? Hence coke backs and jungle juice.)

The theme of this quarter has been “Take Home Exams”. I’ve only had one so far and that was all the way back during fall quarter of freshmen year. Now I have two! I don’t hate them or like them. Between a take-home and an in-class, I wouldn’t be able to pick. I dislike all exams.

This is my first post without a picture. To me, it’s looks like it’s missing something but I wanted to focus the attention on the title.

Well I’m off the shower now, and moisturize. Oh that’s another theme of this quarter: Eat less, moisturize more. Not that the two are correlated. It’s better than writing your goals as “lose 10 pounds” and “get perfect skin”. Start with the little tasks. A therapist told me that.

BTW, I can’t get over how cute “Chi Cubs” looks. Then you see thick men in cleats spitting sunflower seeds everywhere. Why does everything look better on paper?
