Welcome to the soapbox....
This is my first post to my new "Anything goes" blog. I am still keeping the music commentary blog http://bqradiohour.blogspot.com, but there is a lot of other stuff we can talk about beyond music. Random thoughts will be gathered here. I will not commit to perfectly organized writing, but I'll do my best in making myself properly understood, and perhaps telling something worth reading along the line.
So, today we are talking about Macroeconomics. Not really. It's more about feelings derived from studying a subject called Macroeconomic Analysis, which is in reality some variety of dynamic optimization and programming (i.e., math), under assumptions very few really understand. I am in the middle of the preparation of a Macro exam, and while the sophistication and elegance of the so-called freshwater macro is undeniable, sadly, it is also true that: a) It is a very demanding subject, and b) I really have no clue about its worthiness.
So, instead of keeping questioning myself about what the heck I am doing so far away from home, studying tools I don't fully understand for tasks I can't quite get why are relevant to answer questions that my field only answers in a flawed way, I decided to address one of the causes of my diminishing learning returns over study investments: a growing cold. I decided to stop my study for a few minutes today and warm up some canned soup on the stove, while I started this blog. "Italian sausage with pasta and pepperoni". I am eating it now. Highly spicy, but really tasty, and it is making me feel much better, just as it is beginning to snow again. At the supermarket you buy these for one and a half bucks a can. Sure ramen noodles are much cheaper, but you cannot beat the quality. As my parents would say, this is a meal to raise the dead.
Back to study....
