I've been wrecking my brain to try and cram 3 subjects into my brain the past couple weeks, and I've been quite successful I must say. Everything seems clearer now, and during these last few lectures I can finally understand what the lecturers are talking about. I've dove so deep into the pool of work that I've cut out soccer, a lot of computer time, and replaced it all with books. Now whenever I've got free time it's into the library to study. I've spent so much time with books, that only today did I realise my hair was long and messy after it was pointed out to me. I need to have a hair cut. I can't wait for exams either, cos that will mean an end to this insane life of study for now. A short term solution.
How do you know if you've studied too hard?
When you start using complicated economic/finance/accounting jargon to explain the simple things in life. For example:
"My rent is going to increase next year, I think moving out will be cheaper, but I can't seem to find anywhere as convenient. Plus the start up cost of moving into a new apartment is expensive."
After translation:
"A booming property market has sent property prices, and rent on the rise, that I am thinking of moving out to find a cheaper place. However, the opportunity cost associated with moving to a cheaper location is too hard to quantify. Performing a cost-benefit analysis seems to be the best way to come to a sensible decision, but what price do you put on convenience?"
