Thoughts 4/30

So it is exam time. I finished my first exam today in which I was not even sweating since I knew that unless I got a 62/150 or lower, I was receiving a B for the course and I had no motivation to do better than that since my chances of getting an A even with a perfect score were nil. So I gave the amount of effort necessary in order to achieve the desired final grade which was a B. Right now I'm about to start on my Macro Take Home final here in Monroe 107, btw not looking forward to this, I've seen the questions and they seem to be a bit daunting. Well the last one and parts of the 1st and 2nd one that is. A 6 page limit including graphs definitely weighs into my calculus as well.

Today's link of the day is pretty good, it is a spoof on Sports Center. Oh well GL to anyone reading this and doing exams.

Well, all assignments other than the finals are done and dusted. This has been by far my most challenging semester yet. Well my mind is pretty burnt out since I did a memory dump after finishing the forecasting paper last night. So with nothing more to say, I will bid all zero of you a fond farewell until I type again.

Guten Tag! Wie geht's dir? Ok, that is enough of German. Hello everyone (no one, but I digress once again), Today has been an eventful day so far. I went to the Devil-Goat Day, an annual carnival like event that has been put on here at UMW since the 1920s. I met Amber there and we had a very good time. I saw her ride the mechanical bull and she actually hung on for a decent amount of time (longer than the both of us thought she would hang on). Then I challenged her to Pugil sticks (The American Gladiator event thing), I won 2 out of 3 but she did knock me down once, which is pretty amazing since I am like three times her size.

Oh well, enough of me and my procrastinating ways (I should be finishing my forecasting paper). I only have 1 link again, but yet again, it is a good one. It is an old Anti-Nazi propaganda cartoon from Walt Disney called Education for Death.

Enjoy the rest of your day and hopefully Friday for me will be a breeze.

Greetings blog readers (of which there is only me, but I digress). So we are in the homestretch. This is my last real day of work in Math 115 but GD, she threw everything on us at once. Quiz + oral presentation + Summary paper makes Tommy go something something.....Go crazy! Don't mind if I do. Hehe, oh well, All that crap is basically done so I'm not hating (too much).

My brother is in town. I told him he chose the absolute wrong week to visit as I'm going to be running around like the proverbial chicken with the head cut off. I think he was coming up more to bring back some of his movie collection since he has reupped with the Navy for 2 more years and is not getting out in August like he originally planned.

Only one link today but it is a good one, the stand up economist, yes we economists can be funny!

Random Thoughts for 4/20

Hey everyone! I told you I'm giving this blog thing another shot and here I am! So tonight, I feel incredibly bored and a little bit lonely. I don't know why, it is rare I feel this way, but it does happen. Not much more to say about that so let us move on.

Tomorrow is the SHH walkathon. It should be an awesome event with music, massage artists, and lots of people and friends. This is for an awesome cause and I hope that Senate makes enough money so we can get a house in Senate's name. The man who is responsible for this event the great Shin Fujiyama. The man pours his heart and soul into this operation and I wish I had his kind of drive. He told me on Wednesday that the speech he gave to JADE was his 80th different speech which in my mind is outstanding. Well, I just hope they make a TON of money tomorrow and also hope I can win that Entertainment set that includes the Wii!!

Charlie the unicorn is awesome!!!

These are videos from James, the Angry Nintendo Nerd, he is awesome since he says things about crappy games that we've wanted to say but just either did not have the heart or the voice!

See ya next time I write!

It's been a while

Hey, I'm such a slacker, I should blog more often but I did it at first and just kind of gave up on it, but I'm willing to give myself a second shot and thus here it is. Now daily blogs will probably not be here, but I'm going to try to blog on something every few days or so, especially with the craziness that is my life. So more to come and as Papa Stage would say, "Stay Tuned!"

I had my first Theater test yesterday and needless to say it was a sobering experience. I may be changing that class to pass/fail. We'll see but I am not confident of how I did.

Today, if all goes well we are going to show the application to the entire class. We did an awesome job on it and I am proud to have been part of that experience.

Well not much for today but here is a link to a funny as hell website for football fans. Bang's cartoons are legendary.

This is why I said Almost daily thoughts. I had a blast last night at the Econ social. The professors are really cool and the other Econ majors and people in general were awesome.

As for my Man City boys, the blues drop another one (3rd time this week), this time to the boys from the Tyneside Newcastle 1-0. One thing was we got the honor of allowing Michael Owen's first goal back in the premiership (cue golf clap). Not good times for the Eastlands outfit atm.

Today I also participated in the annual Madden Challenge in Washington, DC and got bounced like a ball in the first round. One turnover in that tourney is bad but 3 is killer. Final score 21-14. Oh well, you know I'll play again next year.

Now for my quote of the day:

"How to store your baby walker: First, remove baby." - Anonymous Manufacturer

See ya guys tomorrow or whenever I right an entry again (which may be tonight).

Hello all you people lining up to read this fine little piece of my world. Today was an intesresting blob. We had a heated discussion in Econ 324 as they presented the Mission Statement to everyone. I personally like the one the Mission Statement chose. I think it is a strong statement and will attract the kind of organizations we were looking for.

Tomorrow I have the Economics Club social. It should be a cool event and I look forward to meeting all of the other Econ majors at the school and to mingle and have a good time.
I've heard from some of the people that have attended these in the past that they can be a little wild. Well, you know about us Economists, we like to maximize our happiness and be efficient about it. :)

Well I figure I will end this with a cool quote so here it is:

There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers.
Richard Feynman US educator & physicist (1918 - 1988)

See ya to all zero of you guys reading this!

Well, I had a good day. We did the finishing touches on the application for the grant we are creating in ECON 324. I like what we did with it but I am having doubt about the mission statement. IMO it seems too broad. Well, I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

In other news, My Blues got beat by Doncaster of League one and got bounced out of the Carling Cup. Now I know this is a 2nd tier cup but GD, my boys should not be losing to a team in League 1. Maybe reality is starting to set in at CoMS. Hopefully, Stuart Pearce gets those boys back on track for this weekend.

Finally, I had my first Senate meeting and I think it is going to be a rewarding experience. Hopefully, it will help with the leadership factors that I do sorely lack (I've always been a bit of a follower.) Well I hear my bed calling so I am calling it a night, Later all none of ya that are actually reading this :)
