想着前两天本人还在郁闷的完成最后一篇哲学paper. 写的挺痛苦的，因为philosophical skepticism的价值对我这种对哲学不感冒的人来说，是可以用一句两句话就可以解释清楚的。写几千字的大作还真难洋洋洒洒起来。其实发现自己对很多东西的直觉是很准确的。一直不喜欢保龄球因为当年看yy小美女那么痴迷又去尝试结果还是不喜欢，这次呢被某人和某人感染尝试哲学还是没有爱上epistemology，即使我十分喜欢我们大名鼎鼎的professor。下学期准备旁听他的faith and reason, 以后如果有空闲拿political philosophy，单纯臆想的哲学是不会碰了。

这个学期课程很有趣。micro econ有天才lima教，用他自己写的notes,这本书出版了可比varian的要好上好多倍。很多之前听闻的理论在他严谨的解释下就完整全面了。可是在他的光辉照耀下我越来越不想去grad school了。lol. Lucas没有想象中的那么糟糕，一个大名鼎鼎的诺贝尔那么平易近人实在是不容易。估计我们学校的macro是很独一无二了。用的是barro极度neoclassical的教科书，notes里很多都是lucas自己研究的经济模型，最后的考试用了一大堆式子让我们推到马歇尔援助对欧洲经济发展影响不大。不愧是芝加哥学派啊。。Karen是这辈子有过得最好的数学老师了，小妮子前途无量阿。班上每周5个小时extra office hours, 面对绝对理论的数学，也是别有乐趣。

生活方面变化也不少。几些机缘几群人激发了我身上不hitchcock的那一面。于是周末晚上也四五点了，也经常shuttle去别的宿舍了。sweet times.

可惜冬天就这么走了。被新加坡夺取4年的冬天秋天，到现在还是没有过够零下的气温。不过最可气的是，昨天做好我骑车加miro noah跑步去市内的计划就被五英尺的雪泡汤了。也就希望这么一天的好天气嘛，真不给面子。算了，今天就启程开车去南边了。Happy spring break :)

Overheard at UChicago [FACEBOOK]

What is the dialect                     

of breathing,             

of doing unspeakable things   

to your body?

                                                                           Do you sleep in secret?

                                               Or have you no debts to society?

                                                                    We know in our hearts the reaction wants

                                                                                                     to proceed forward,

                                                           but it appears that we're destroying the universe simply

                               by observing it. 

It's just one of those things that means

   itself and

      its opposite and

         something about sex. 

                               It’s absurd to think any common

                                                         whore

                                                                 should be given       

                                                                 human rights. 

         I’m all for ethnic cleansing, but sometimes

                                                                                             the motive isn’t heavy enough

                                                                 to kill.

                   It’s so hard to be an atheist when I’m                                                      

fuck-                                                                         

fucking                                                                    

you.                                                                            

Rape really is hilarious,

but it’s not enough for intoxication

to prove you are ashamed.

                                     Never have I ever been an advocate for change.

                                                                 There are enough dirty sexual acts to be found

                                               in the periodic table,

                                                        but it’s not like when you turn 50 you can buy ultra-porn.

                            You may not be into the whole ‘rape scene,’

                                     but maybe you aren’t much of an ethicist either. 

I want a drink to go with the slut.
