These are pretty interesting times to be taking a class that focuses on world and national economics using current events. Our teacher Bahman (Batman) Maneshni is a real fireball. He expends so much energy in class that you can’t help but feel you should at least equal his output. We have links to new items every day to read and then we have to pop up real quick-like in class when he asks for the ‘whazzups’ and if you relate a juicy bit you can get an extra credit point. I got an extra point last week for popping up and telling about Thiel and his office make-over with bail-out money when it was fresh news.
Frequently he will stop you and (say you mentioned China) go, ‘and China is…?” You need to be able to answer ‘The second largest economic presence in the world’, or “the first in manufacturing.” something like that. But you need to know it.
I bombed out at the board the other night by not fully understanding the Phillips curve graph. But I keep trying…. I have five or six extra points already.
Here is one of my friends from the Care Center where I sometimes volunteer. Alice is having her 100th birthday party on Valentine’s day and I get to be the Photographer.
