Don't Do It!

Parma, Italy, 2016.
  "Der Lagrange-Parameter λ, den Sie berechnen müssen, gibt a...," This is the point where I tuned out. I said, I would post more. So, this is me, writing this post during my economics class, which, by the way, could not get anymore boring. When the class first started, a ray of hope awoke in me and I wistfully thought, 'This might not be that bad." Needless to say that hope didn't stay long; it abandoned me somewhere between the Cobb-Douglas and the Lagrange Theorem. Now, I have not been able to verify which of these two are the cause of my ever-diminishing interest in Business: Math or German. It might as well be both of them. 
  I love theory. I really do. Now before anyone starts blaming the Indian education system, let me just say, I love anything that I can bullshit my way out of. Plus, I really do not have a affinity for Math. Nevertheless, it always seems to sneak up on me.
Now, let's get to the second problem - German. While it is feels cool to speak a foreign language fluently, German's drabness cannot be neglected. For anyone who is mulling wanting to undertake a German curriculum, DON'T DO IT!
One, it isn't worth the headache. Two, even if you love the subjects you are going to study, within the very first week you'll be left wondering exactly why you chose these courses/subjects. Look at me for example, I cannot tell you how much I loved business and economics. I was so excited to get a more detailed insight in those subjects that I loved. Turns out my excitement was not a monotone concave curve that always slopes upwards! 
  Anyway, the highlight of my week was receiving two coupons for free waffles at this one restaurant that I have wanted to visit for the past four months. FREE WAFFLES, PEOPLE! Could life get any better? 
Eh, probably not.

Until next time!

An Eternal Struggle: Math


  I have one word for the last two weeks: HECTIC! University finally started (all my friends are secretly gloating at misery, after months of me doing absolutely nothing as they gave their Boards), and things have been...interesting. 
  Somehow, I have Math...AGAIN! When I say somehow, I mean that my stupid, stupid ass ended up taking it voluntarily in the very first semester, instead of procrastinating. Why would I do that, you ask. I'll tell you why; my seriously retarded brain seemed to think that I could handle it. Remember that ski fall I suffered in Brand a month ago - the falling on my face, rolling over with my skis on and almost dislocating my shoulder? Yeah, I wouldn't mind a few more falls like that if only I could get rid of Math. For all you lucky bastards that don't feel this way, let me just say - mazel tov. To say I'm struggling would be the understatement of the year. Most of you might be thinking, 'why is she whining about Math over here?'. The truth is I have been whining about it to every single person I know. 
  You know what? Fuck Math. Well, at least for now. Now that I'm done sharing my grievances, let me get to the good parts. My A2 French course started. For the first two classes I felt like a deer caught in headlights. Soon after that class, things started looking better. Thank God. 
  Plus, I finally bought a ticket to go to, *dramatic drumroll, please*, Budapest! I have wanted to visit Budapest for the past one year, and I am finally going to go. I have not travelled in a hot minute now, and I  can't wait to feel that rush, which I equate with seeing a new place. 
  I know this post isn't very long, but I will be writing more frequently from now on. 
  Until next time!
