Nash Equilibria And Dominant Strategies

I know I don't go to class much, but surely I'm not the only one who can't understand this:

"Middle weakly dominates Bottom for Center weakly dominates Right"

It's 1am or so. (I plan to stay up until 4 or so lol).
Last exam is tomorrow.
Afterwards I'll probably have lunch, buy a pair of white docs (maybe), drop in at work, read a book, go to my moms and play piano.

Oh and, yeah, dye my hair.
Purple.

I kid not. : )

Really Hate Internet Explorer 9

Why on earth is the favourites button all the way in the corner?

Statistically, one's mouse is on the left side of the screen more than the right, and - although this is just conjecture - surely I'm not the only one that navigates the internet almost solely by my favourites bar?

In other news, less than 36 hours to my Econ exam, and I've done 0 hours of preparation. I'm serious, I haven't even opened the book and I've been to three classes all semester.

I have been a bit of a shit about this studying business, haven't I?

Not to mention I have a Japanese exam the day before the Econ exam as well.

Let's see how well I can bullshit my way out of this mess, shall we?

The Passionate Life.

The passionate life.


It is a life defined by emotions, by impassioned engagement and belief, by one or more quests, grand projects, embracing affectsons.


It is also characterized...in terms of frenzy, vaulting ambition, "sickness unto death". Essentially insatiable goals, impossible affections.


...
Philosophy is, or should be, a kind of magic.

手伝ってくれない?

自分だけでできないよ。
できることをしますが、 ほかのことをちょっと手伝ってくれない? 
すこしだけ。

いつも自分でがんばるのはやさしくないから、 手伝ってくださいませんか?

今の感じは「空」し、 何をするもわからない。
外で雨が降ったでも、 傘がこわれてった。

それでも、 明日はあたらしい日です。

できないかなぁ。

やっぱり、ビデオを作ったんですが、気持ちがちょっとわるいからさ削除しました。

ごめんね、みんな。

Dearest Finance Department....

As much as I understand my opinion doesn't rank very highly, being an undergraduate student - not to mention one that shows up to 4/36 lectures, I'd like to make a few suggestions.

Firstly, thank you for recording your lectures. You have freed up a lot of my time during the semester, in which I did far more enjoyable things - such as wasting time and eating lunch - instead of attending classes.

Now, I know what I'm about to say is probaby down to exam stress (since the exam is indeed, tomorrow), but I would nonetheless like to point something out that may have skipped your attention.

1. Please don't use pencils when making notes, it's impossible to decipher, whether its a recording or in the lecture.

2. So maybe people did show up to the Monday morning 8am tutorial, but I bet they didn't after the tutor tried to answer a question for 15 minutes, crossed out his answer then asked "so what do you think?".

Actually, overall, it hasn't been that bad. I mean, it's been pretty bad, but I'll let the student evaluations speak for themselves. From what I gather about the general comments in the evaluations, you're going to have a hell of a year trying to reorganize the course next year.

Lastly, as a parting note, please..
for the love of god and all that is holy
A HORIZONTAL AXIS CANNOT BE BOTH TIME AND PRICE.

It doesn't make any SENSE.

And DRAWING OVER THE HORIZONTAL AXIS A MILLION TIMES DOES NOT MAKE IT MORE COHERENT. IT ONLY MAKES THE LINE DARKER AND THICKER.

Yours sincerely,
An extremely irate student.

ps. Loving the random 3 minute total silences in the lecture recordings, because I know they aren't technical faults.
