Good afternoonings

No offence meant, his pictures really do make me laugh

It does seem rather uncanny sometimes doesn't it.

How goes revision?

(

elephant rider property shark sighted!, Tue 12 May 2009, 16:44, archived)

Gaaah

All that's keeping me going today is reading the word "involuntary" in my macro lecturer's accent. In-vul-ooooon-terry.

So it's Wednesday there, right? What's the future like?

(

zoldergoose, Tue 12 May 2009, 16:46, archived)

I've seen the future, brother

it is murder.

(

mr horrible up yours, dickface, Tue 12 May 2009, 16:47, archived)

It's good. Really happy I took the gamble.

I work a lot, so little time for the interwebs.

My school is good form, and the city is great. I've made some friends and been asked to join a couple of bands. I haven't been this happy since Uni. I'm beginning to understand the langauge, but it's tough. I can get by with the basics though.

One thing I certainly don't miss is macro lectures though. It was my least favourite over all three years at Warwick. Who is the lecturer?

(

elephant rider property shark sighted!, Tue 12 May 2009, 16:51, archived)

Awesome. Is that fact I spouted about different sentence forms for different respect levels correct, or did I dream it?

We had three macro lecturers this year, that one is Natalie Chen. She's also doing International next year which I may do. You did it right? Any good?

(

zoldergoose, Tue 12 May 2009, 16:54, archived)

Yes, the hardest thing about the language is the levels of respect. There are so many ways of saying everything and if you get it slightly wrong people give you this weird raised eyebrow look.

Anyway, I had Natalie Chen for Macro in second year and for International in the third - at least for some of the time. You know she smokes heavily and rides an awesome motorbike?

International is OK. It's just macro but much more difficult. Various models which all start from classical vs Keynsian bases and then you get the mix - sticky prices in the short run, perfectly elastic in the long and curves for the middle in the Dornbusch. The equations are the heartbreaker. There's some mildly interesting stuff, but I guess you've gathered by now that her slides aren't very good because they omit all the worthwhile information. You're conned into thinking that she's given you help because there are four slides per page, but it's all a hoax.

If you like macro, take international.

(

elephant rider property shark sighted!, Tue 12 May 2009, 17:01, archived)

I think I've already registered for it but that's not binding.

I was also looking at Public Policy and Metrics 2. Or maybe Chinese 3. Dammit, I don't want this much choice. You also did policy in the uk and...?

Whatever, though, I'm staying the hell away from economic history. I got something like 20% less than my average in World History Theory last year, pfft.

Are you meant to go through heavy algebra in macro exams? I am unclear on this.

(

zoldergoose, Tue 12 May 2009, 17:08, archived)

Yes, I did EPUK, International and development

In second year, you definitely DON'T need to use algebra unless expressly asked. Our year had the same problem, and only found this out when people went to ask at the lecturers' offices.

EPUK was interesting but it depends on the lecturer. Development was terrible, we had a twat employed by Nike who effectively fed us lies from his travels for weeks on end. His first question in the first lecture was, "So tell me guys, what do you think of Margaret Thatcher?". He went on to explain why she was nothing but a force for good and how we were all misguided. Total twat.

(

elephant rider property shark sighted!, Tue 12 May 2009, 17:13, archived)

Haha, compatible with your guardian-reading sensibilities then.

Cheers for the algebra info *crosses out all algebra from revision notes*

I'm not sure about doing EPUK next year because all the lecturers are changing. I think you said Niko Wolf (best name EVER) did it for you? He's moved to International economy since 1918 now I think. And we've been fucked over by new lecturers enough this year... sometimes it is useful if past papers bear any relation to the final exam...

A bunch of my friends are going for business school things, like "Corporate Strategy A". Not really interested in that.

Do you have plans for when you return from the Koreas? How long are you out there?

(

zoldergoose, Tue 12 May 2009, 17:18, archived)

I'd advise any of Nickolaus's modules. He's a total legend and will work his arse of to help you.

His quaint German accent is so endearing too. Awesome guy - took our lectures and seminars and was always ready to answer any questions. Made it a real pleasure to study the subject.

I'd keep away from the corporate modules. You'll get bored senseless. On some level, all economics is boring, but at least there's a challenge in it. When you move to the business side, it all loses the slight draw it used to have.

Our past papers were OK compared to the exams. But it's best to do them all. Prepare for anything. Don't go out of your way not to learn the algebra. You really need to understand it, it's the key to most of the models, just to don't memorise it.

My contract here lasts until the end of next March. I'm currently saving. I'd love to go back to uni as I had the best times of my life there. I love the intellectual atmosphere. Not in a twatty, pretentious way, I just loved being able to talk about politics and philosophy with far more intelligent people than me, and not get looks of disgust from bordering tables. I guess that I'll have to take stock and decide whether I'll stay here indefinitely or get further education. The last thing I want is a desk job.

What's your plan anyway?

/Words

(

elephant rider property shark sighted!, Tue 12 May 2009, 17:30, archived)

Well obviously I want to go straight in to IBD and sell my grandmother and things like that.

I'm not sure really, I've no real plan. Desk jobs don't exactly appeal to me either, the only graduate jobs I'd be vaguely interested in are things like economist at the foreign office. They send you off to a G20 country after 2 years in London. But obviously they only take the best of the best. Or maybe something in journalism. I'm the editor of the sanctuary here (I think it might have started in your second year?)

I agree that university is a wonderful place to be. I'd consider a masters, but not here, I've had enough of this obscure field on the outskirts of coventry. Who knows.

Or I might pick all the modules you did, do my RAE on happiness and then go and teach in korea. Tried and trusted path.

(

zoldergoose, Tue 12 May 2009, 17:38, archived)

Hahahaha!

Yes, Santuary started in my second year, it's good form. Well played on being the editor, that would certainly help you go into journalism.

Anyway, it's 1:40am and I have The Wire to watch so I shall bid you adieu.

Night.
