Forgive and Forget: I want to forgive you and I want to forget you.
Published by December 13th, 2007 in Uncategorized. 1 CommentSo I guess it’s that time of year when everyone posts what they learned in this class and how this class taught them valuable life lessons and all that other Hallmark meets Disney silliness. I am not going to do that. Sure, this class did teach me some valuable things: the odd hallucinations that happen [...]
Last week I stayed up all night (literally) to finish my Econometrics project. My project was a real eye-catcher: “Salaries of Major League Baseball Players.” At the time I chose my project I was knee deep in no data (in case you were wondering in philosophy class we get to talk about “nothing” and “nothingness”).

I never thought this day would come. I just sent in my final paper. I hope I have done enough editing to pull an A in this class. That would make me very happy. Anyway, since this is definately my last blog post for this class I thought I would leave my words of wisdom. [...]
Today I submitted my ‘final’ version of my paper. Hoping to go to Boston next semester, it probably won’t be the last time I look at the damned subject of Intellectual Property Rights.

Published by December 5th, 2007 in Uncategorized. 2 CommentsI’m sitting in my bedroom wondering how I am going to run regressions on the effect of Gangster Rap record sales and publishing on domestic purchase of handguns by inner-city youth already susceptible to a life of crime. Kind of a project in and of itself, but I though it might spice up my [...]
So all the assignments have been completed, the chapters have been read, the rough draft has been written, and my presentation is finished. Now, all I have left is to finish editing my final paper. I started editing it a week ago; a week later, it is not finished. I think after a whole semester [...]
I was getting excited about new data I found. In addition to comparing GDP per capita data between the US and Africa, I also found average ARV drug prices, some data of production costs, and drug company profits. My idea was to use comparisons between GDP to set up a pricing structure. The problem lies [...]
