i got my new sexy printer in the mail today and i just love buying stuff off the internet...u go thru in the comfort of ur own home research stuff to death, check prices out and then u click on a couple of buttons and tada UPS is delivering ur printer over to u...its really an amazing system.

ummm yesterday i had the most amazing talk with my umass professor. the man is just so brilliant and so down to earth, every single thing that i would want to be like as a professor or as an economist this man like is the embodiment of it. and i just talked to him about everything from where i should go abroad to what classes i should take to get into grad school to what his feelings are about capitalism....like everything. and then we walked together to class and i got to hear him speak in french to this other prof. and the whole experience was just sureal to me. professors are like the most amazing ppl to me. especially this man since i've read most of his books and know his background and just to be able to ask the person whose book u read why they didnt include something, or why they phrased things a certain way and to just get an honest answer from them is just so amazing. the best thing about it is that he doesnt talk to me like i'm a student, or like he's above me, he talks to me like one friend would talk to another. neither being above the other just simply one person giving advice to someone else. its amazing really. and it makes me so thankful that i go to this school and that i'm lucky enough to be able to take classes from non-traditional economist...i really love my school and i'm so thankful that i randomly ended up here.....
