EC140

On Monday April 12, 2010 EC140 at Wilfrid Laurier University had its final exam. Yes it was a bit difficult I guess but I didn't find it as a super killer exam, perhaps a bit unfair though. I went on our economics website where students can post on the forums and I died laughing at this.
The first post after the exam.
And here is the first response to this suck up post.I died laughing here because it was quite an unfair exam. If you didn't know what a bell curve was its when the course average gets brought up. After these 2 posts, there were over 50 responses and here are some other funny posts.This is some what of an inside joke because many of our exam questions were based like this where there were a lot of fill in the blanks and the answers just didn't make sense!
I guess you would only understand this joke if you understand economics. Yes it is a nerdy joke but look at who posted it. Only an Asian would make a joke like this on the forum.

Bon Voyage Bosh?

Not saying he will end up on the Lakers but will we see him on another team next year? I hope not!

In the beginning of the season Raptors fans were hopeful. I was hopeful. And now we are let down by another fallout. Remember the month of February? We were talking about going for a run to get 4th place in the East! I was talking about being 10 games over .500! But some how we went on a 9-19 run after the All-Star break. Horrible.

Sigh, who do we blame?
-We can say it was Turkoglu's half shitty season.
-Carmelo Anthony's buzzer beater.
-Chris Bosh's missed lay up against Golden State.
-Larry Brown for not playing Jackson and Wallace their full minutes.

The list goes on. Point is we aren't in the playoffs. We probably would have got swept by the Cavs but I would still paid to watch Lebron serve up the Raps.
Put me in coach, I'll get the Raptors into the playoffs

Big talk now is will Bosh return next year? Sonny Weems thinks so but I have my doubts. Not because I don't think Bosh is a team player but because I think he wants to be on a competitive team that can bring him to the finals and unfortunately the Raptors isn't the best option for that.

Something in my head is telling me the NBA set it up so the Raps don't make it in the 8th seed. Think about it.
-It seemed as if just as the season was coming to an end, a player would get injured every game (Antawn Jamison breaking Chris Bosh's nose).
-Lebron played the Raptors but decided to rest on the Chicago game.
-And Boston... oh Boston, the amount of hatred I have for you is limitless. Pierce, you suck. Garrnett, "Anythings possi...*SLAP TO THE FACE*" - 2008 finals (If you don't understand this joke don't consider yourself a basketball fan) And of course Rashad Wallace, he wanted Chicago to win so bad he decided to score on his own bucket. I HATE YOU BOSTON!

Chatroulette

What is it? In simple terms its some what like Skype but with random people across the world.

I see it one day being a profitable website but it has a long way to go.
Yes, pantsless perverts are definitely the biggest problem.

I see myself using this with friends and having a laugh on it. Other than that I don't see myself using it alone. I don't want to be like Stan (South Park joke. Season 14). One of the best parts to this site is it was created by a 17 year old Russian kid. I always love great innovative ideas and this is definitely one of them.

Hard work leads to success

I've always believed in the philosophy of hard work will result with success in life. Of course I'm not naive and I know not everything falls into this category.

Like many of you in university I've been doing nothing but study for finals for the past week. Most of my roommates have been doing so too except for one gay exception, figurative and literal meaning intended. In my opinion some people are 'naturally' more book smart than other people, and other people work harder in school to close the disadvantage gap.

I say this because I'm wondering if Stevie (Jenny's nickname for him) is naturally smart. Now that exams are here he does nothing but play his ps2. He plays it from morning until he sleeps, no exaggeration because he even plays when I want to watch the Raptor games. I've never seen him with a textbook in hand for the entire year so is he naturally smart? He left his assignment on the table once and I opened it. He got 13/15, not bad right? Its a 87% He must be naturally smart! But then I flipped the rubric and saw what the assignment was... His assignment was to draw and colour Ontario. What The Heck..... What kind of program is he in?? I did tougher assignments in elementary school!
And people wonder why us BBA students think we are better than the rest of the school...

I guess what I'm getting at here is some people (like Stevie) do nothing in life and get away with it. It will catch up with him (Because he's not even in a professional program! And I know in 10 years I'll be in my executive office while he is still drawing pictures of Canada). So just thought this story will motivate you or at least make you laugh. Don't be like Stevie, work hard.
