The Wannabe Economist

My heart is pounding furiously right now.

I don’t know whether it’s the significant larger than usual intake of caffeine, or is it the school economy rice with expected price of $2.40 with variance of 0 (sampling the order i placed) that i just ate.

Intermediate econometrics paper in 1 hour.

Deep breath, Chongky, deep breath.

Intermediate econometrics does not remind me much of applied econometrics 2 sems ago.

It reminds me of maths for econs in my first semester.

Is it the prof or is it the heavy content + killer paper?

90 hours to go - unofficially last 90 hours as undergrad

This entry was on the wordpress log in page and the title caught my eye.

Nice account on rugby and the “white” attitude towards the sports.

3 days more to the first paper (that’s including today, but not considering that i’m going to spend 2.5 hours of the day at the LDP session, 1 hour travelling back, 0.5 hour washing up, 0.5 hour settling down, 0.5 hour having dinner, 0.5 hour going printing shop and doing hopefully the last batch of printing i need for revision). I don’t remember even doing 5 exams in the past semesters, and here i am, moving up to 6 exams in the last semester in SMU.

Not that i love to brag about doing 6 module, but having 6 exams is simply takng up much of my time this semester. Not just the time going to class, but also the time to do other things because i am just too concerned about how am i going to pull this through week 15.

Of course i hope it’s my last semester here. Not that i hate the school. But given the chance to do graduate studies i would definitely want to do it at an even more prominent school elsewhere. Even MBA in NUS ranks higher.

Alright going back to studies. Running out of time. Am out of steam.

By the way, i thought the content of this news article on CNA is pretty obvious.

…when you barely know anything about the module.

Even the usually familiar mathematics notations all look funny.

Should i be able to affrod it, my child(ren) should go to international school.

Where he / she / they can enjoy learning in a small class, able to think while learning, and spend the time working on 10 years series on doing something he / she / they would be really passionate about.
