I keep waiting
for someone to blog, but no one ever does. I really need to find some more
blogs to follow. So since no one else if blogging, I guess I will take this
opportunity to say some things about my life. Finals are this upcoming week and
to start things off I took my first last final tonight!
Warning, the
following may contain appalling information, but hey that how I like to live my
life. So in my economic systems class, my teacher decided to give us a 100
questions true or false take home final. If you ask me that is just plain rude!
Who wants to answer 100 true and false questions? I mean sure I could have
taken the time to look up every single answer in my book, consuming my whole
night. But really why on earth would I do that when I could do what I did!
I decided it
would be a much better idea to run a random number generator on a calculator
simulating 100 answers proving me with either a one or a zero. On the numbers I
got a one on I answered true and the ones I got a zero on an answered false. It
honestly took my five minutes to answer one hundred questions! It was the best
thing ever! I am really excited to see how I performed on this final.

Yes, I sure did document this for the future children! :) |
Now you may
be thinking, is the girl freakin crazy? Well truth is I probably am, but I had
a very good reason for doing this. Really, I was just using economic theory in
my everyday life. As it turns out I really did learn something in college. See
my professor is allowing us to drop our lowest test score including the final
out of the three tests throughout the semester. I have scored pretty well on
these prior tests and figured the amount of time I would have to spend actually
answering the questions correct had no marginal benefit or basically be a sunk
cost. See if I missed more than 12 questions all time spend on answering the
test questions would have been totally pointless. Me knowing myself with true
or false questions figured the likelihood of this is pretty high as I always
seem to second guess myself on them. See this way I get to tell people that one
time I basically flipped a coin to answer all the questions on my final and if
for some reason I do score higher than my previous test then that is freakin awesome!!
See it’s really a win win situation!
Now I just
have to write a Russian paper for my Russian final due Monday and hit up three
finals on Tuesday and I am pretty much graduated from college! Which has not
hit me yet! College was easy, now on to the hard part, real life.
Ashley P!
Ashley - you are hillarious! Glad you learned something from economics!
