Week 2

I learnt quite a bit of stuff this week in school. From Finance 101, I learnt about CAPM - Capital Asset Pricing Model. My prof said, 'I took 1 month to mathematically understand this equation. Now, i'm going to take 10 minutes to explain to you using common sense.' Pretty much the best quote of the week, but the again, the week isn't over yet.

I spent a substantial amount of time in school alone. Most days, i arrive in school at 8.45am and study. What a mugger! I wish I had more foresight earlier then I would have bidded my modules more in line with Amanda's. Then we could have more emo talk, then we wouldn't have to wait for choir time to start emo-ing. For the record, she pretty much does the emo-ing. Sorry, manda!

Another module I'm taking is called Intercultural Communications, or ICC for short. An anecdote of what we learn: An American exchange student was shocked when her Singaporean SMU classmate said, 'This morning, I was so stoned.' Do you get it?

For a school whose majority of students are girls, my finance and corporate reporting group mates are all guys. Weird. And I just noticed, on average, guys in accountancy are cuter. I think.

I've finally finished reading The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. I recommend it! Next book up, Who moved my cheese?
