econs essays/ppp
well... i must say that today's econs wasn't too bad; ok the micro questions were all weird and twisted, and i basically sacrificed about 4 out of the 8 marks on the monopoly question (qn 2) for the certainty of at least 12-14 on part b (out of 17 marks). Which is not too bad a bargain, i guess. but the macro ones were pretty ok. i wrote a hell lot for the macroeconomic objectives and policy question (which might or might not have been totally relevant), and i absolutely whored qn 6 (the globalisation one). woo. application and evaluation ftw. it splashed out like a flood. no double entendre intended, absolutely. (trust me, you don't want to know XD)
feels good but it always feels this way, right up till i get the essays back and realise i got 11/25. bastards. (ooh that's a swear word i haven't used here yet, i think.)
so, now
- dear cambridge examiners
plz plz plz give me easy case material
and good questions
so i know exactly what you want
and can give it to you
after all, you know exactly what i want
and if we trade, there'll be welfare gains right?
and besides, it improves allocative efficiency -
you have marks, i need marks
it's a mutually beneficial situation
plz plz plz let me get an A for econs
cos i'd really like to get to princeton
or yale
or lse
or someplace nice
to waste 3 or 4 years of my life
and of course the government's money
though i'll be paying it back of course
sigh
c'est la vie -

... why is everybody feeling so good about econs? ... =/ I'm dead for Physics! Haha.
If I may ask, is it a must for you (or Singaporeans in general if they are able to) to get PSC ? Why not aim for the private sector instead? You can still get into LSE without PSC. Is the 4-year bond (discounting 2 years of NS) really worth it?
Often, I feel that RJC students are like cogs in a machine. Studying here has turned me almost into one - maybe I already am... Don't you think we share the same views, same aspirations, etc as with other students?

its a 6-year bond. unless you get SAFOS i think.
on the plus side
- the allowance is supposedly generous
- you go before your brains rot in NS
- no worries about job, and i guess its a pretty decent career.
i think its cos we're all more driven than most people, and we egg each other on, basically. so the competitiveness and the cog-in-a-machine spirit gets worse and worse. i'd like to get out of that mentality - but then again i'm not ever going to let myself fall behind anyone if i can possibly help it
yeah. you get the idea.
tough.
