Okay, this was one of the first applications I ever used on Facebook, you know, back when Facebook was awesome and just for college kids only. Man, those were the days. Anyway, here's Where I've Been:

I Suck At Blogging
I'll be the first to admit that I officially suck at blogging. Funny thing about that statement. I remember when I was a little kid, I had a teacher that used to tell us never to say "suck" because we weren't vacuums. I am really awful at blogging, I'm sure my teacher would approve of that.
Now here comes my excuse, I HAVE QUALS coming up next week!!! Yea, yea, "but Jadrian, you didn't have quals in May and you skipped that whole month." Again, I revert back to my previous statement, I suck at blogging. This may be the 13th time I've promised to be better. We'll see.
Back to the quals, or core exams, or prelims. Why are there so many names for this test? Is one actually any different than the other? If so, I don't know why. On the topic of things I don't know, let's say about 75% of what we've covered this past year. So here's the layout of what's coming up:
Today - 8:45 May 13, 2011 - STUDY, STUDY, STUDY, STUDY, FACEBOOK, STUDY
June 13 - Micro core exam (Perhaps my strongest subject)
June 15 - Macro core exam (My semi-confident exam)
June 20 - Stats/Econometrics core exam (I'm scared of this one, I have nightmares)
June 21 - Hello Texas
July 3 - Goodbye Texas
So yea, that's the next 2 weeks in a nut shell. I feel REALLY good about micro only because that's definitely my strongest subject. Macro, ehhh. That's a good description. I did really well in the second semester (A-), but I BOMBED the first semester (B-, which is really an F). And then there's stats, the devil himself would be scared of stats. I have studied for this one more than any of the others.
So, where am I? I've completed the the first semester of material from Stats, and about to dabble in the 2nd. I've done MOST of the recitations from the 1st semester of micro, and I've re-worked about 1/2 the problem sets in macro from the 1st semester. Notice a theme yet? I haven't touched the second semester. Ugh.
Back to work.
