game theories and option explicits

i was a fan of the movie 'a beautiful mind'.. respected his ingenuity, perserverence and passion for knowledge.. and his courage in facing life.. remember checking up for some information on the real person after that.. of course the movie beautified the real story..

john nash became a familiar name to me.. not so much his theories though.. but learning game theory is interesting.. learning abt anticipating other's actions and strategic thinking.. something new which enhances thinking.. did the last tutorial of the course for econs on that.. trying to figure out whether union's threats on rejecting a contract could be possible.. haha.. realising that they are incredible threats after all.. glad econs tutorials are over meaning no more thursday meetings and rushing the answers out on friday.. (like last fri i was frantically editing it while doing IT and trying to figure out about two part tariffs at the same time with about only an hour left to tutorial.. quite stressful.. esp when everything goes wrong.. haha) and the every-tutorial-3%-of-ur-grade thing is super irritating..

the library today was intimidating.. full of people mugging and the atmosphere somehow rather tense.. some people need such environments to study.. i can't.. i need a corner of my own.. not seeing anyone around.. not feeling the tension.. brought a whole load of books and stuff hoping to have some time to mug.. ended up spending all my time doing the IT project.. again.. juz wanna finish all the indentations and comments once and for all.. glad i finished them though.. been thinking of doing completing it since forever.. but sure got some other nitty gritties which take up more time later.. sigh..

did the teacher evaluation thingie today.. juz saw it so decided to juz finish it.. if not it'll be hanging there again.. something on my mind i gotta complete.. in the end i find myself too afraid to give really bad comments.. so oh well.. the worst is a neutral.. voted for Mr Anand as outstanding teacher.. he totally deserves it! spent quite a lot of time writing the nicest stuff about him.. =) he turned me from an IT idiot to a search engine expert.. after hanging my computer countless times though.. haha.. very motivational and encouraging.. and super super patient.. and of course charismatic.. (no wonder there are countless girls falling for him.. hahaha.. i clarify first.. me excluded) my respect for him comes purely from a student.. who can feel the concern and help provided for when we feel totally lost in the course of learning.. there are never stupid questions.. and he makes sures he clarifies all of them as best as he could until we understand.. wad more can a student ask for from a teacher who understands the essence of learning and teaching?

got ma tutorial presentation tmr.. it's the last tutorial also.. everything's coming to an end for the sem.. i promise myself i won't panic tmr.. i noe i can do it.. live the spirit! =)
