Maximizing Utility

And there it is folks, it's all in the title.  Ima geek for economics.  Which is why I'm "concentrating" in economics for my MBA.  In fact, I'm concentrating so hard on it, that I have to take 3 whole classes.

At the breakfast table, the blonde wouldn't stop staring at the orange juice container.  Why?  Because it say "100% concentrate".

Ba-da-dum!  Thanks, I'll be here all week!

On a side note, grad school has actually helped me become smarter.  I walked into the classroom I thought ECON 698 was taught in, looked at all the young, eager, fresh-faced kids, realized that they were in no way grad students, and left.  They looked at me kind of funny, but I ended up in the right classroom before the embarrassing "this class is BLAH 666, so if you're in the wrong classroom leave now.  Let's do roll."

Anyway....utility = happiness in economics.  For 5 years now, I've worked 30-45 hours a week while taking a full class load.  In the nine months I have left of college, I'm going to work 25 hours a weekend, and take the weekdays off.  And while I may not be happy this weekend flinging margaritas and wing jawns at people, this week has been one of the happiest of my college experience.  Hanging out with my cat (Nelly) and doing homework.  And sending ridiculous emails to my roommates.

For example:

Subject:  the reason why nelly has three names
To:  my roomies

bahahaha i wish i had actually planned this.

The link is to TS Eliot (and no Google, I did not mean TS Elliot) and his poem about why cats have three names.  

My cat's name:  Nelly Shaniqua Furtado.  

I really do wish I had planned it.

ANYway.  There is no substance to this post.  But, maybe tomorrow?  OH WAIT.  17 hour shift tomorrow.  Maybe Monday!  If I can find time between hanging out with Nelly and sending my roommates annoying retarded emails.  I lead a rough life.  I know, I should write a book and sell the movie rights to Lifetime.
