Of being back in Cornell...

After my nice getaway, Cornell welcomed me back with:

1. Psychology Midterm (%&^*@#)

2. Equity Derivatives Homework (^@#*&@(!)

3. Cooking my own meals (Ok lah, not so bad)

I studied a grand total of 2 hours for Psych101 midterms (last Monday), and never touched it till Sunday night after getting back from Kingston. Then again, I was so shagged that I fell asleep 45min into reading my notes, waking up to my alarm the next day. Unlike Finance, Psych isn't something I read about in the news on a daily basis. I expected to do really badly. Anyway, thankfully I passed with a score of 70 plus (not good when everyone else scored 90-100%. but I guess that's a pass, and it's good enough for me)

Slogging over Equity Derivatives Assignment 6: Options Strategies for Single Stock and Portfolio Hedging. WHAT DO I KNOW ABOUT THIS? Anyway, it was -1 degrees outside, so my hot soup and minced pork with potato and mushroom made me feel less depressed.
