The saddest part is that I only had 1/2 cup of coffee

I think if I die, my body will continue to move for about 24-48 h until the caffeine in my blood stream wears off.

My Econ discussion friend has become quite a bit more than just a “Econ discussion friend”. Contractual counterpart is the economic way of characterizing relationships, he gets it (and attached the relevant paper)
He apparently thinks I’m hot and derives significant utility from some more traditionally romantic things , I don’t mind. I think the models he writes are hot, he gets that. It’s Pareto optimal

Is this a complicated way of saying you’ve got a boyfriend?
I’m not sure I get but I’m happy for you if you’ve found someone you’re comfortable with and who makes you happy

Thanks! Yep, it’s a big PR
Let him be a gentleman to you. He will appreciate it and you just might like it.

Is something wrong with me for chuckling at the thought of someone telling this dude “If you break the contract, I’ll break your legs”?

Update:
- I’m so ready for the semester to be over. I’ve had no motivation to do anything, even research and have been binge watching a meme Russian tv show instead of working…look like most ppl are feeling the same. Idk what it is about this semester
@TriednTrue to answer your question from Bagsy’s log. I have a lot of imposter syndrome around being in Econ. My maths background is weak and most of my acquaintances are very accomplished so I often feel like I don’t belong and don’t work hard enough
