29/03/2008 another week again...记录一下这一周。
聂海峰一口气布置了课后所有的习题，而且每一题都巨难无比... 从周一开始做了好几天，直到周四晚上12点还有好多不会做，于是又在宿舍走廊上奔走相告，到处借作业"参考参考"。忽然想起来世界的一句话："每次交作业前夕晚上12点还在宿舍来来回回奔走的大部分都是实验班的"，不知道每天8点钟上课加上这周怒多作业让那些还在考G的同学有多么感受。
这一周终于"入市"了，是汇市，第一笔做多头CAD就赚了一笔，但是不凑巧的空头AUD和空头GBP都大亏，感觉实际操作的时候什么金融工程学的，投资学学的，统统忘记了，变成一个不理性的动物，乱买乱卖一通。这是我才认识到"行为金融"为什么这些年在学术界如此之热；同时我也认识到那些Econ PhD, 那些在Journal of Finance的发文章的牛人为什么也不怎么有钱，估计他们也不怎么能跑赢市场。我呢，只好buying and holding了。
再说说TOEFL, 复习进度缓慢，第一次做Kaplan就被虐，听力一口气错了6个，这样下去80都没有了。不过还是借用大牛人Empirechen的话，祝愿Wooddy大猛人猛到爆炸！
最后说说"本科教学评估"，对这个玩意我保留个人意见，不过强烈建议考察团来中大春晖园吃一下饭，来181上一下网，感受一下中大莘莘学子的求学之路。 23/03/2008 TTOEFL，一个迟到的考试。
本应去年考完G就一鼓作气考完的，谁知道摸摸唧唧的蹭到今年5月才考，而且至今一直没复习... 当然我也没指望能考个高分拿到TA, 考一个90多凑合申请的分数也就足够。今晚看了一下新东方讲义才知道T分为什么部分，考些什么东西，只能算刚刚扫盲。虽然很多人跟我说考完G随便考考也能有100，不过以目前的水平估计能有个90也就满意了。从今天到5月8号还有一个多月，应该够怒了，就这样开始了我的托福岁月: 要开始听自己惨不忍闻的口语录音，要开始听N长的学术段子还要一边记笔记... 每每看着Wooddy在大怒模考我就害怕，没想到T也是如此令人恐怖。
May God Bless my iBT! 22/03/2008 AWAnother Week.
眼镜被我暴力地折断了，断成两截。一整天没有眼镜，仿佛失去了视力，云里雾里。聂海峰在黑板上推不动点定理，证纳什均衡存在定理我也一点都看不到，也看不了电视，看不了中大很多背影杀手的美丽的背影。
最近很享受一些东西，比如每天早上7：30起床，从饭堂买几个肉包子走去上课;还有回到宿舍吹一些毫无意义的套路性的浮夸的水；还有每天晚上玩一下吞食鱼，听一分钟的scientific American. 生活很美好~
但是祖国目前似乎内忧外患一般，T'ibet, CPI, Stock, Olympics，Taiwan...祝福吾国能平平安安顺顺利利的走过2008.
就这样记录一下，没什么意义... 14/03/2008 Life is not easy....If you think English is easy, take GRE;
If you think Math is easy, take Real Analysis; If you think Economics is easy, take MWG; and If you think life is easy, take a girlfriend. Survived from first two "uneasy" already, I'm still waiting others to come. All of a sudden, it occurred to me that life is not easy... 10/03/2008 有感Adam Smith The Theory of Moral Sentiments 1759: What is the end of avarice and ambition, of the pursuit of wealth, of power, and pre-eminence? Is it to supply the necessities of nature? The wages of the meanest labourer can supply them... Why should those who have been educated in the higher ranks of life, regard it as worse than death, to be reduced to live, even without labour, upon the same simple fare with him, to dwell under the same lowly roof, and to be clothed in the same humble attire? From whence, then, arises that emulation which runs through all the different ranks of men, and what are the advantages which we propose by that great purpose of human life which we call bettering our condition? To be observed, to be attended to, to be taken notice of with sympathy, complacency, and approbation, are all the advantages which we can propose to derive from it. It is the vanity, not the ease, or the pleasure, which interests us (Theory of Moral Sentiments, Part I, Section III, Chapter II).
在每日疲于奔命的生活中，当我能沉下心来有时间细细的阅读上面优美的文字，才陡然地发现，亚当斯密的思想的光辉----很少人再能体会到18世纪的智慧究竟有多么伟大。当我们把经济学变成一个个冰冷的计量模型的时候，当一个个建模者为我们创造的每一个逻辑小链条独自庆幸的时候，其实，我们还能在古老的历史中找到一些清新的东西。 |
