to you, too. i am sorry i don't get to take macro-econ. i have been thinking about economics for a while now... done a little behavioral economics in psychology (to do with trying to predict motor response) and in philosophy, too (prisoner's dilemma / co-operative dilemma stuff. also a bit of human behavioral ecology part of which considers human behaviour from an optimality model pov).
i... economics... macro economics... is one of those things that i feel like i don't understand. how dollars get their value. how that varies across countries. the exchange rate. how that works. i don't understand. i think macro economics 101 is probably just what i need but... i can't do a class with a clash. i mean... they don't want us to - but more than that... i know the value of attending lectures.
calculus is about graphs, huh. relationships between variables / input-output functions. i think... a lot of what i know already... i think that what i know is approximations of more precise concepts. i am excited to get to learn these more precise concepts. to... come up with more specific / more predictive / more accurate models / understanding.
if the maths goes well... and medicine doesn't work out... i think i'd like to to bio-medical engineering.
i could grow me a foot! f*ck yeah!
