During the times when i tell you that sociology is fun and interesting, they're probably times when i have nothing better to do.

I came across this passage in my sociology reading and now i'm glad i chose econs over soci.

Not exact quote:

It is a failure by conventional economists to treat capital as a material category of things, or as money, which accords to it no special properties that would explain social formation.....

What is capital then? If it is not just production of goods or money? According to Marx, capital is used to set into motion a process of continuous transformation of capital-as-money into capital-as-commodities followed by a re-transformation of capital-as-commodities into capital-as-more-money. This is the famous M-C-M' formula, a repetitive, expansive cycle which 'capital' manifests iteself.....

HOKAY. Like wow. According to some huge ass sociologist, capital is seriously a dynamic process which goes round and round without dying off, while producing more money at the same time! Not just like, MONEY, ya know. Butbut, this process sounds familiar.... Gasp! Does it vaguely resemble... the MULTIPLIER?

My readings are full of shit. I also can come up with a theory that actually leeches on another theory just that i beat around the bush a little more.

I've never felt worse in my life. I don't even know what's wrong with me. My head is positively spinning, and i feel like my chest is stuffed with lots of cotton wool, makes me wanna puke.

And THEN i have exams at 5pm later, and i made dondon mad at me.

I woke up in the middle of last night and sat at the toilet bowl for the longest time... haha... I felt so ready to puke but on the other hand i was so scared that i'll faint in the cubicle and no one will ever find me! So i went out to the corridor and squatted there instead. Haha... somehow squatting is a good way to relieve dizziness cos i somehow felt better.

Scary!!!

Ohmigosh i'm so used to being disappointed that i'm now expecting to get disappointed. Even my actions are decided upon an anticipation of disappointments.

So pretty!! I need a PSP right now! Look at the range of colours! I swear it's specially to attract stupid girls who buys gadgets because they are aesthetically appealing (ya girls like me). But look they come in my favourite colours! I want to get one which is pink in front and lavender at the back.

If i put a delicious piece of cake on the table, and i want you to eat it. Seeing you eat it will make me happy cos i know it's delicious. But there's really no point in forcing you to eat just to make myself feel happy, because you derive absolutely no pleasure from it.

Maybe i don't have to try so hard. Maybe it's not the end that counts but the experience.

If the cake is left by itself it'll gradually disintegrate and disappear. But at least you were happy while it was there even though you didn't get to eat it in the end.

Wake up jin a ling!!! There's more to life!!!

When i flip the Financial Times, i see fragments of phrases and stories i actually recognize. When people discuss THE sub-prime mortgage problem/what happens when THE Ben Bernanke said something/over-heating of THE China economy, i actually know what they're talking about.

Ah.... that is when i'm glad i majored in Economics even though i would never make a career out of it. It's like i'm in the loop of big things that really happen in the world! I know, totally bimbotic.
