This feels like watching all six star wars movies in a row, except with corporate finance. These are the moments in life that I choose to record. Also, it feels totally wrong to write six star wars movies, but watching the trilogy in one sitting doesn't have the same level of commitment to unreasonability.
923: Utility of internet falls below utility of starting to work. I'm about to begin Module 18 (of 24). I suspect that this is the point in the course where it gets a little ballsy. I'll explain. After five modules, the author disclaims that those were an introduction, and it's about to get a little hairier. After module fourteen, the author says something to the extent of "now that we've got the basics out of the way, bring on the 'nads." Several chapters later, I'm still waiting for them to drop. Up to now the modules have been 4-8 pages long, and this one's in the 20-30 range, so i'm thinking this might be the one.
935: I realize I've wasted 12 minutes talking figuratively about testes (which makes me think of boggle [thanks alex]). I get started.
1022: I've finished module 18. still no sign of balls, but I did realize I'd inadvertantly skipped module 17, so I'll be going back for that one next. I'm feeling gross and unshowered, but hygiene will have to wait.
1040: Well, that was fast. Feels as good as fast-forwarding through the second half of phantom menace. I'm going to shower, put some pants on, eat something, then take on the last quarter of this course.
1125: I'm clean, fed, and wearing my new red shorts. Game on.
1229: Module 19 was the least fun module to date. Hopefully I learned something. I'm now through most of the three-odd hours of four tet on my computer. The next modules are about option pricing, which is a fairly testicular subject, though one I'm somewhat familiar with. We'll see how it goes.
1339: That didn't actually take an hour, i was playing final fantasy 9 for about half of that (needed handwriting rest after 19!). I was going to make some observations about my noise-cancelling headphones, but that's a stiff enough digression to wait for another post. now, oreos and module 21.
1408: In this episode, we have an N (14) part homework assignment. Am unamused.
1427: Not too inspired about these last three. At least it's only three left. I'm done with Four Tet, So I'll have to find something else. I'll be back.
...
1545: Back and ready to rock. I'm working the kinks out of a new playlist, which is an fair trade for having to sit for as long as I have been.
1620: Since I did 18 before 17, I was considering doing 24 before 23 to keep things fresh, but then I looked and it turns out that 24 has no homework*. Bookshakalaka. So I'm rounding the corner, ready to to take on module 23, which, to my eye, is replete with cajoñes. I'm feeling nasty enough to be up to the challenge.
1733: Donzo. I'll probably look over a practice exam later, maybe even module 24 if i'm feeling charitable. Until then I'll be scratching my legs, generally pleased with myself.
*Is that like fast forwarding through the end of return of the jedi? could be i've taken this too far.
