Textbücher

Spent way too much on textbooks this quarter. =(

Make that a DOUBLE or TRIPLE sadface. That's how sad I am.

bought a used Econ textbook from suitemate: 50$

Calculus textbook + solution manuals from a guy off of FB: 60$ (what a deal ++)

German textbook (ordered the previous edition form Amazon): 10$

German arbeitsbuch (workbook): 50$, amazon

Neuer Wein or something, for German: 30$, amazon

Allerei zum lesen, for German: 12$

CAT3 eugenics reader: 93.74$

total: $305.74

HOLY EFF! That's more than the total amount of money in the stack of lai see I happily found sitting on my desk when I got home for spring break. Exactly 93.74$ more, actually. Gyahhs I will never to able to save money this way. SADFACE. Wie studiere ich in Deutschland?

Yes, I will be able to sell a few of the books back, and I did get quite good deals on some of the purchases, but still, total of $300+ for textbooks? Yes, I could have stolen a math textbook (there's one that's been sitting on the coffee table in building 709's kitchen for days), but no, I shall not steal. ahhgg. Okay, and yes, I know there are people for whom 305$ meant maybe two new textbooks, but those are stupid people who don't know that previous editions work just fine and don't know about facebook marketplace. So no pity on them. Ha. Errg I don't like having to transfer money from my savings account to my checking account so I can have sufficient funds to make purchases. Less towards my savings to go study abroad. =(

And I just spilled water on my math textbook. Way to go.

Oh and I went to Whole Foods twice this week, total around 28$, and I ordered new earplugs off amazon 25$, so total I spent $359 in the course of this first week of spring quarter. Gosh, that was sure fun.

the central limit theorem

I like it when teachers/professors try to be humorous, making an otherwise boring powerpoint/keynote lecture somewhat less boring.

and regression:

I am studying/studied so much, I better get an A in Poli30, or at least a B.

And pleeeease please pass Microecon. Midterm 1: D+, Midterm 2: C-, Final (50% of grade, I think) I hope to do better at least a C-. Passing grade is C- or better, correct?

BTW, Happy Saint Patrick's Day. This is such a completely forgettable holiday. I really would have been a caught-off guard with the green people had not a friend mentioned a week earlier to me that St. Paddy's Day would be near my date of departure. 

jag är trött.
Ich bin ein bisschen müde.

Econ midterm#2 tomorrow morning. I hope I do better, get at least a C-, to average out my grade to a passing status, from my D+ on the first midterm.
Then I have a paper due on Thursday. I've only loosely outlined and written scattered little paragraphs. I plan to type it all out to some sort of coherentness and then print it and revise it all tomorrow.

listening to: Pandora Radio:: The Strokes
I should really listen to Pandora more, such an easy way to hear bands that I've never heard of, or more songs from bands I do know, instead of always listening to trance, psy trance, or drum'n'bass. But psy and dnb are the most conducive to studying and doing homework. Indie rock and trance are kinda emotional and too euphoric, repectfully. Too chill and would slow my pace and I wouldn't finish my homework until too few hours later.

the-impossible-project

Ughh got a very structured but strict and ridiculous replacement professor for my Culture, Art & Technology class. More hw readings + a tough final project. mangg. Japanese midterm#2 next week, microecon midterm#2 the week after, +CAT paper & finalproject. The new CAT prof in the previous (his second) lecture spent half an hour explaining how to properly write an e-mail to him. Pshh who wants to e-mail him now?

My pair of APC's should be arriving on Monday. =D

Maybe after this quarter I'll resume music blogging. Unless I procrastinate on hw and blog.

listening to: Wild Sweet Orange::We Have Cause To Be Uneasy—Either-Or
Will blog more completely about this album and band sometime later.
But last weekend, or one day this week or last, I listened to this album on repeat 4times.
