Let it be noted that a lot of this stuff will not make sense to anyone other than myself.
Let it also be noted that I have censored myself by omitting extremely incriminating stuff. ;)

Econ 1010b--Macroeconomics
10:00am: Damn, Ec1010b lecture really got me interested in Econ again. Prof Foote was really interesting and inviting, super super funny.
Gov 40--International Conflict and Cooperation
10:06am: Looks like there are already people sucking up to Prof Rosen.
10:07am: Oh look, Matt Watson is here. As is Doris and Oh, John Grammer—never mind, not him. Ohai Julian.
10:07am: Oh, the suck-ups were actually just section leaders. Oops. #tooquicktojudge
10:08am: Class still hasn’t started… Oh well. :P Still giving out handouts… Oh lol, it’s just a syllabus.
10:10am: OHAI DIANA!
10:12am: A lot more sparse than Ec1010b
10:27am: Interesting insight about being able to look at current events based on historical parallels [Current “jihad” vs. Past European “crusade”]
10:32am: Also Japan-US in WWII vs. Iran-US&allies, with Econ Sanctions à War
10:37am: Maybe I’ll be more interested in a different IR class, or a PoliTheory class. Let’s see how Gov 1061 goes tomorrow.
10:51am: Ended 9 minutes early. Gives me good time to a) go to Sever and b) study for Chinese
Soc ???--something about heirachial organizations
11:10am: lol. People making fun of his accent already. Although, granted, it is difficult to understand him at times.
11:12am: Interesting, another Chinese TF
11:14am: lol, surprisingly high number of guest speakers—seven confirmed, hopefully nine?
11:17am: Ohai Jay. :P
11:18am: Lol. Holworthy freshman spouting out impressive things, just repeating the stuff the senior said, basically.
11:20am: Such a long course introduction.
11:58am: Indeed, the entire class, basically, was just course intro. Attempt to introduce material at the end involved readings that no one had done yet. Lol. Very awkward class, very awkward instructor, people left saying that they were “not feeling it” and those who do stay are probably hoping that the guest lectures and case studies will make up for it [as one girl mentioned]
Ec10 2nd Semester - Macroeconomics
12:07am: Mankiw. First comic: “This is my first recession. How worried should I be? / You’ll be fine as long as you don’t have any hopes and dreams. / But I still have them. / It’s time to yank off that band-aid.” WTF.
Psych ??? - The Psychology of Human Sexuality
1:08pm: Let’s hope this class is offered next year since it hasn’t been for 5 years, lol.
1:11pm: I am SOOOOOOOOO IMMATURE.
1:14pm: “Human beings are always…’up’ for it.”
1:20pm: Highlights—Silvio Berlusconi, Herman Cain, Good ol’ Newt, and hypocritical old closeted Republican men
1:22pm: Too much talk of the female anatomy
1:26pm: “biopsychosocial perspective” <3
1:27pm: “fisting” “titillating”
1:31pm: Interesting distinction between transvestite and transsexual; the former is more of a fetish, the latter psychological/gender identity.
1:44pm: “Based on this research, exposure to semen lowers rates of clinical depression.”
1:49pm: Noice. He’s writing a textbook. AND he writes a SEX COLUMN?! scienceofrelationships.com: “Lusting, Loving, Leaving”

Gov 1061--The History of Modern Political Philosophy
11:23am: Ohai Krister.
11:40am: obai Krister.
12:05pm: Ohai again, Krister.
Eng??? - Crime and Horror in Victorian Literature
12:07pm: Lol, cheesy music.
12:10pm: How does he use “Exciting” and “Disturbing” in the same sentence?
Ec????--Behavioral Economics
1:08pm: Lol. Kids not looking at the location change [although to be honest, it wasn’t very clear on the course website.]
1:12pm: Yay. Harvard students solving problems on their own. The horde is trickling in.
SLS 20--Psychological Science
2:35pm: Lol—Amboy Duke’s “Journey to the Center of The Mind” not working on Pinker’s laptop. Sadfaice.
2:39pm: His voice is higher than I would have expected. But his sense of humor is nice
2:44pm: Steven Pinker talking to his complaining [battery-dead] Roomba
3:13pm: Steven Pinker just mentioned Viagra and penis enlargement in conjunction with captcha tests
3:37pm: Noticing a lot of overlap with his book
3:48pm: I like how he says “rather” as [ɹɒðə]
AAAAAAAAAAAAND that's a wrap.
