A day full of idiotic Economics classes makes me...so tired

:boring:

Especially when two of them could have been remedial dumbass classes. Ugh, HATE classes that have 101 as the only Pre-Req.

"In which direction does the demand curve slope?"

"When price increases, demand...?"

"What is the equation for elasticity?"

Kill me now. I should have gotten a waiver for the second two. x(

And I'm exhausted, from boredom. I drew nice doodles on my notebook though, so that's something. :P

:hi:

13. Oh d'oh!

I forgot to PM you! I meter mailed them from the office, and they came back b/c they said the postage wasn't correct! :mad:

But, I'm going to the P.O. in the morning and re-mailing them! :D

And, you are going to get a present from me very soon. I'm ordering it right now, in fact. ;)

14. A present?

Edited on Mon Sep-15-08 08:32 PM by primate1

Dwah?!

And that explains a lot about the magazines, haha. No worries, I was just looking forward to having some new reading material for work and breaks at school, haha.

I got my school library's online journal access renewed so I've been reading the Review of Radical Political Economics and the New Left Review and other such journals while at work, haha.

4. It was a refresher for the idiots...And, I'm not taking

Money and Financial Institutions, where I'm sure they talked about the markets and all that.

Natural Resource Econ, Health Econ, and Int'l Trade.

They're good Profs, they have to stay on schedule and all that jazz.

22. I'm an Econ major and stupid people make me sleepy

Instead of sitting through the agony of people who can't grasp very simple concepts such as, when prices increase, people purchase less, I could be home working on my Thesis. Ugh!

I hope you enjoy your Econ class(es). What are you taking? :)

23. I'm taking Microeconomics

It's an accelerated course; I'm a week behind due to an unforeseen health crisis. Catching up now, basically finding it not too difficult so far. I have to take Macroeconomics next semester too.
