I appologize dear dedicated readers for being so negligent in my regular updates. I imagine you have been dying for a post.
I don't know how anyone can properly call Calculus work ... it's simply too fun (note the cool graph with all the arrows):
My literature class is done. I wrote a paper about God's paradoxical existence to finish it off... it really wasn't very good, so I won't post it. Well, I should clarify that: I could have never gotten away with such unsatisfactory logic and rhetoric in high school, where my teachers had Ph.Ds in philosophy and used them, but alas, since I arrived at college teachers are well-read hippies.We are learning about options in interest theory. So, for instance, I am a corn farmer, and I make an agreement with you, a cereal maker, that if corn prices plumet, you pay me some money, and if corn prices skyrocket, I'll pay you some money. That way we both make off well. This is also the sort of stuff that causes people to lose billions of dollars speculating... the terminology of the buisness ought to warn you from the get go: "long naked call", "short covered put", "strangle", "straddle", "collar"... somehow "butterfly" got in there too.
Economics is sssslllloooowwww.
And accounting is unadaulterated boredom. I was hoping it'd pick up a bit, because we were going to be doing the same things we do in interest theory, but the book dumned it down to such a deplorable state that it was painful. I had to muster every ounce of self-control not to write a snarky comment about the improper use of the word "discount rate".
