gah, 2nd attempt at one of our optimization problems and i still cant solve it without referring to my notes and text. the problem isnt the math this time..i have all that down and im all over setting up the problem and whatnot. the main issue here is the way we solve these things. its all (hahaha i was just told to get out of the library by my crazy friend!) based on recognizing patterns, setting up cases and hypothesisisis', remembering the patterns, and making correct assumptions. its all bloody interesting but im not used to thinking this way anymore!
arghhh! hahaha, i feel all piratey whenever i say that. yar! wheres my variables! okay, that was silly, but yes, ill be going to bed now!
i really really shouldnt be here but im kinda really frightened and a bit jumpy right now... my exam scares the hell out of me. i guess i shouldve gotten used to econ exams by now but i dont think i ever will. i have to memorise like 20 different models and then remember the elasticities and responsiveness of different functions and how they repond to different variables....*shudders*
well, i have nothing interesting to post but im in a non-worky mood, im hungry, im sleepy, and im happy for no real reason, so blah
I went and visited my math for economisists prof today and we ended up having a wonderful discussion about art (haha, mainly about how the AGO sucks) while solving a whole bunch of crazy crap. i find that i learn super quickly when someone talks me through a problem or makes up a funny story about it ("okay, look here, see this matrix, we'll call it igor..." (*teehee igor*)) haha, i dont know how you'd do that with math but i wish someone did. anyway, i now understand everything ive studied so far which is a HUGE relief because now i can take it a wee easy on myself and focus on other stuff.
meh, im kinda not looking forward to going home :( i have no idea what ill do with myself for a whole week...
gosh, im soooo sleepy but id better get this down right now before i get busy tomorrow and forget.
first off, thank you johnkeithrodney you guys are totally awesome! i cant think of anyone else i know who'd organise a beach party in their house and get a kiddie pool for their living room. i had a really fun time although i kinda wish that more people would've shown up. i mean, thats probably the last party we have for the term :(
for tomorrow i must
> study, study study! i have one module left but its a huuuuge one and must get done before the afternoon. ive really hated management this term. its a real waste of time, its really expensive, and totally pointless. econ 220 and hrm 200 covered everything i learnt in that course.
haha i always feel wierd posting an entry here from the library...it feels like im violating some code of conduct and that i have to be all sneaky and quick.
anywho, i wouldnt be here had it not been for that damn HRM course. its a really easy credit but our profs a total jerkface. tonight we complete the textbook (all 600 pages!)and then i have a week to prepare for a cumulative final. like seriously, its bad enough that the course material is sooooo boring, but forcing us to go through the whole text again...ugh, i think ill draw a huge lump of coal on the last page of my final.
so, yes, i must get dinner and then endure 90 minutes of his boring "har har har, HRM'S the coolest, look at me, i can read off of slides!"
on the bright side, we get prof evaluations today!
Hostel keeps on making me feel like throwing up whenever i think about it (and i watched it a week ago). the movie wasnt scary at all just really sick and twisted. ugh.
anyways, nothing too important to report here. i think ill go to bed now...
Current Music
She is with me - Ellen Allien (Orchestra of Bubbles)
okay, i need to get to bed but i guess ill make a entry since i havent made one in quite a while.
i was reading previous entries and i cant help but notice how strange my journal sounds.
hmm...i dont even remember what i did today. oh yeah, squash. for the 100th time, why the bloody hell do i allow myself to fall apart whenever im playing a new opponent. its wierd because whenever i play against people below my skill level i serve fine. am i pressuring myself too much? i dont know. i played dave today and while he's better than me i think i wouldve given him a run for his money (unless im being a tad bit bigheaded) had i served properly. i used the first game to learn his playing style and tried not giving up too much of my own. once i got used to that i held my own for a bit before blowing it off on some pathetic plays. the score was 4-2 for dave when we got sent off to the american courts....and i bet everyone who plays (or has played)me knows how that mustve ended. i mean, daves great. consistant serves, clever returns...i dont know whats wrong with me though. okay, ill shut up about this now.
in the evening sasha and i found ourselves on some WCRI committees. i think im a social rep or something. anyways, ill be organizing (i guess i should say, "i will help organize"...err haha?) the social events and stuff for the term. it should be exciting.
sasha, sarah, and i had a little barbecue afterwards. it was the first time all three of us have actually hung out and i had a great time.
i had the pleasure of introducing them to sigur ros later. sarah loved the music and sasha provided me with something to think about. actually, we've gone over some pretty interesting topics today and ive really enjoyed his perspective on everything. we watched North Country after. it was an okay movie. but then again, ive watched some pretty crazy ones this weekend.
well, im in a bit of a rush so ill have to make this quick...
i got back from toronto last night and will be spending the summer here. toronto was amazing this past week and ill miss it for the weekend since theres almost no one here.
i did surprisingly well in most of my courses which means that ill probably carry on with business (and hopefully later on accouting).
as a result of coming back here im missing out on a trip to the UK in july with my sis and quite possibly a holiday with my parents to east africa in august. they said that theyd postpone the trip to december but who knows :(
anyways, im not sure whose here this term. id love to get together sometime.
ill really miss some of my courses this term. not attending class for econ202 during march has put a big dent in my marks. in retrospect, i shouldve done really well on the exam. i knew most of the material and it was a fair exam. in the PAC however i totally lost my confidence. im not sure how ill end up doing but it probably wont be anything impressive. i hope i never do this again :(
tomorrow i write my business ethics exam and then sort out everything for the summer on wednesday.
