2010

This is my first blog post in 2010. The new semester has started and I have been busy around, dealing with the add/drop courses stuff and attending new classes. I have pay visits to intermediate economics and com-aid statistics, and really appreciate the academic style of courses offered by science department and those of higher level. I feel pitiful that I'm not able to add STAT1620 as my free elective course due to taking BUS1200, if so, to fulfill the requirements of minoring in statistics is more sophisticated than expected, and I hope to turn to AR for more detailed information tomorrow. For the time being, I have added FIN2210 in case, though I guess it's a higher-level course than other courses I am taking. Learning from the website information, the lecturer of FIN2210 concentrate on game theory, which is an important bench of economics, despite the fact that the professor is in the financial department.

Though applied economics fit me better than finance, I still feel it strange that bu offers similar bachelor degrees which are each titled"CBS",CS-ECO",and "Applied ECO". Students study similar core courses, and receive degrees from different departments and schools. I think that it's a bit tricky and confusing. However, to make every effort to learn as much as I can and try to think over issues from various and higher perspectives which come from solid knowledge and scientific approaches. I'm quite fascinated by the teaching style of the lecturer of principles of macroeconomics, who trys to explain GDP, business cycle and other concepts in his own way,pointing out the inaccuracy of the diagrams in the PPT instead of following the ppt content.

At least, I am now aware that multinational companies like Nike helps boost Chinese economy for they contribute to native production of mainland China. Still, I'm not clear about transferring price, and other concepts related to open economy, which I hope I shall figure out later on.

I feel that I urgently lack math tools to help make quantitative analysis in further study, and I'm starting to turn to math books.

Baidu it, and you get it; Google it, you know too much. lol

I believe the action of Google is memorable and 2010 witnesses the evolution of the local area network of China. After all, what remains when the Internet is deprived of Google, Youtube, Facebook and Twitter? Baidu, Youku, Renren(Xiaonei) and T.Sina？

Well, George Orwell have told the whole story before I was born, and I guess it's still not to late to review his tales.
