i am really exhausted today. i feel like i did 2 weeks worth of labor in one day. i was up as early as 1am struggling through my soc eco global financial crisis readings so that i would be able to answer our take home essay exam. it was terrible. i enjoyed the readings because i love financial and business stuff but i could not help it but take a nap once in a while.
soon i realized that it will take me a long time to finish reading my stuff so i took a bath first because i won't be able to do so anymore once my eyes get strained and i have a morning meeting. it was a little funny cause i watched the videos that i made yesterday for my soceco exam. well, after finishing episode 3 of commanding heights, i thought it would be a good idea to keep track of the details in the movie but i didn't want to write them down so i took out my videocam and i recorded myself narrating the stuff that i learned from the documentaries. i'm still thinking if i should post the video here... hehe... it's embarrassing and it's 200 mb so... maybe not... hehe...
come 7:30 am, i ate breakfast while i was skimming through my soceco powerpoints and i realized i would not make it on time to my meeting at 9am so i texted jc i would be late. the main factor that made me know i was gonna be late is because i didn't like what was served for breakfast. i do not like hotdogs and local corned beef (i only like hereford and armour). so i asked manang to fry me an egg and open a can of sardines (i love spanish and normal sardines!). anyway, i was able to finish my paper around 930 and i sent it to miss's email immediately cause i thought it was due 12 noon. JC called me and i found out we no longer need to submit a hard copy so i drove off to philip's place (i am never going to take a car to north ave. again! unless i'm in the backseat =p). anyway, we had a lot of problems regarding our regression. The economic model that we worked so hard for has a poor Durbin-Watson result and so we had to look for other variables to put in our model and after hours of toiling... bagsak pa rin yung durbin-watson! waaaaaaahhhh! so i decided to call dr. de vera and dr. u for help and dr. de vera agreed with me that it'd be ok to have a bad DW test since our model won't be used for forecasting so we summed up the meeting and agreed on our variables. however, when i got home, dr. u told me that failing DW could indicate biased t stats so i started to sweat... hehe... but all is well that ends well. he said i could use newey-west to correct my t stats but i'm using white cause it gives me better results... =)
anyway, we have a pretty good model and i hope we would be able to pull this off.
we are off to kish's house tom to finish the paper. i don't wanna drive tom so i'll just take a cab... napagod ako sa traffic kanina...
anyway, tulog na muna ako cause i really need it... i'll wake up early morning to do further research...
personalized quote for the day (inspired by the QC traffic and the durbin-watson failure):
"you do not give up on anything half way. when you are stuck in traffic, you don't stop in the emergency bay, you stop when you already reach your destination.."
SO I ONLY HAVE ONE THING TO SAY: NONE OF YOU CAN STOP ME!!!! GAGRADUATE AKO SA JUNE! AND I'LL GET A N OFFICIAL JOB OFFER SOON!
I hope my profs. and companies read this... hehe... =p
P.S. Mia, I'm really sorry for telling you the wrong deadline. It really said 12nn in the text message.
