Oh my #%@! I just took the hardest test I've ever taken in my life. I got one problem (out of 10) right, and that took me 2 hours and 45 minutes. I raised my arms during the test (there were three of us left at that point) and went "yeah, I got one right!" I was thinking that was a great moral victory before...

Congrats on making it through. What degree are you working on?
sgrizzy:
MA in Economics
Well, I started classes again. I fell asleep in Microeconomics today, a fact which Prof. Kamp was eager to sieze upon during class today.
I'm tired and sick, and I managed to anger one of my semi-bosses at work today, who went and complained to a manager. I guess I won't get a perminant position after all. Maybe I'll go talk to her later, not...

Hey, I'm a Math/Econ major at UW, who's been following your posts in the minimum wage thread. You obviously haven't slept through the *ENTIRE* micro class. 
Anyway, don't get too discouraged if a hoard of folks jump on you. There's a lot of unexamined opinions here that get expressed as fact. Especially in the guise of a reductio ad absurdum arguments.

Well, New Year's was a blast, despite all the little things that went wrong.
I'll explain later (if I remember).

Dman, it feels good to be out of classes for a couple weeks. The only thing is, I need to study over the break.
I also have no money now. I went down to buy my textbooks for my next semester's classes, and they came to $376. WTF? Thats for THREE textbooks! I wish teachers, (especially economics professors) would choose cheaper textbooks.
So, now I...

I got an A on my Math Econ Final!!!! 
I got a B on my Econometrics Final.
I'll be in grad school another semester.

My first Final Exam is tommorrow night. I am not ready yet.
It's in Econometrics - that's statistics for economics, but more boring than it sounds.
I'll be up all night studying for the stupid thing.
By the way, I hate statistics. I realize that it is nessassary for emperical economics, but I am firmly in the praxiological camp now.
Anyway, check out Mises Institute...

Well, the big Policy test is in 45 minutes. Currently, I exist under the illusion of comprehension, but that may be shattered by this test. If I don't do well, I'm going to drop this class.
midnyte:
How did you do?
sgrizzy:
I bombed it; dropped the class. I was very upset too: the prof asked all the stupid definitional questions and none of the hard conceptual questions. I understood all the concepts and all the math, but didn't memorize the stupid definitions.
Oh well. I'll just take the stupid course next fall.

I HATE GRAD SCHOOL.
Well, no I don't. I just feel like I can't focus... or understand stuff.
I have an "A" in Math Econ, a "B" in Econometics (which I hate), and a "D" in Economic Policy analysis (which should be the easiest course for me, but I can't get it.)
I think I just lack the math to get policy analysis, and I'm...
