Congratulations, Shir! Enjoy getting your brain all filled with new knowledge!
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Thank you, all! Yes, it is a big relief, with a bonus of "hi, I worked really hard for a personal goal and it wasn't a failure", which is something that didn't happen a lot in the last five years or so.
Also, OMG, grad school. And studying economics! I always wanted to understand more about it.
Edited: huh. I failed at spelling "failure" correctly.

What is even happening?
That's our Shir.
She's so made of win, she can't even spell failure.

Ha!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Thrive to spite them
Congrats Shir. I hope you enjoy grad school and learning about economics. Dad was an economist. I asked him one time why he became one and it boils down to he took an economics elective and he found it fun and easy and so decided to become an economist.
I hope you find it fun and easy as well.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Thank you! And hello!
I hope you find it fun and easy as well.
From what I already had (there was a summer semester)- fun, yes, easy: not so much (but I love an intellectual challenge!). I am mostly very happy that I get a chewed-up version of economics for the MA (in public administration) that doesn't require doing hours of math.
