1. Late-afternoon grocery shopping in China town = missed podcast with fellow bloggers
2. My record of two years without contracting a respiratory virus has been destroyed - my throat now hurts, and to my knowledge that is often the sign of a week’s worth of not talking
3. Looking forward to the third week of class!

I haven’t been this excited about course selections since the summer before first year:
ECO325 - Advanced Macroeconomics

ECO320 - Economic Analysis of Law
ECO342 - 20th Century Economics History (read very good things about this course, excited)

Financial Economics I - ECO358 H
Financial Economics II: Corporate Finance - ECO359 H
International Trade Theory - ECO364 H
International Monetary Economics - ECO365 H

Please note that this entry does not contain information about de-evolution. I sit down to type a few words as I finish two hours of massive spring cleaning (wiping bathroom counters, mirrors, toilets, bathtubs, sweeping bathroom + suite floors and finally mobbing - given it was with the Swiffer Jet - but I still proudly [...]

Perhaps it was the sweater I was wearing, or maybe the pencil that I was writing with, [...]
I was hit suddenly by a revelation. Actually, that’s not true – it’s a thought that had been circulating in my mind for many years now, but this time something about it became clearer – that I despised my university education, and that I was not profiting from it in the way I had hoped, [...]

Grabbing a coffee and sitting down - I think I feel some slight fatigue for getting roughly three hours of sleep, but the morning jog helped wake me up quite a bit. I read somewhere that strong, bright light gave the body cues to wake up over coffee. I suppose I drink coffee for taste [...]
I have read before that the likely reason why a writer is at a loss for words, simply because the writer has so many threads of ideas in mind, that he knows not how to begin.
Quarter past noon, afternoon engagements pushing closer - that is exactly how I feel. I know that I have wanted [...]
3:15 am - having returned from a little ice cream session, listened to yet another round of “life changes not as I would like”, I have finally decided to settle down and get to work.
a) Differential Equations chapter 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 textbook notes
b) Review statistics weekly notes
c) Work schedule for calculus problem set and midterms [...]
