Micro: I am NOT going to do econ anymore. So glad I didn’t end up at Ucsd. Econ (micro 1) wasn’t difficult to understand, I just can’t seem to do problems. I used to grind through this stuff because of my econ friends, but now I just don’t see a point. The class takes time and stress when that time could be better spent learning stuff I am interested in researching. Also, it is pretty messed up that I cried over getting a bad score on an exam that doesn’t matter for me and did not cry over falling hard on concrete stairs.
Мне не нравится экономика. Я не хочу учиться на экономиста. Я не хочу работать на экономиста. Я не могу это делать и я не буду это делать. Понятно? -
Required classes: the seminar class was fine, it was time consuming but I was familiar with most of the papers/concepts from undergrad. Ended up covering quite a bit for my cohortmate. The data analysis class was hell. The prof is super nice and honestly a good prof, the material was just explained in a way that did not click. I was less confused in analysis 2 than in this simple data class…… cohort mate covered me.

Research went/is going well! Advisor is relatively pleased with me despite my issues with attention to detail and I just got added to an exciting project. My CC also introduced me to a new line of literature that explores a cool way of analysing complex networks. Will def be looking into that more

What kind of analyzing? I might be interested in this too. Any papers you could link so I can see?
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960077923011980#sec2
Basically, the approach is to look at relationships in terms of simplexes instead of dyads/collections of dyads → allows representation of more complex relationships

I am tired of sticking to my calories… I want to go back to 1900-2k starting tomorrow
The conflict is that I’ll be in a surplus when in Europe, so starting that now seems counterproductive and will only make my life harder when I return in January.
Thoughts?

Thank you. That looks like it’ll take awhile for me to work through, but also seems like it could be relevant to a few things I’m working on. Kind of a strange application though; would never have thought of a mountaineering and network theory cross.

In my opinion, given your activity level, you shouldn’t be consuming less than 2000 kcal/day. This is both for your physical and mental health.

Re: women’s place in the home
When I’m visiting family (and not travelling), I take over the kitchen and schedules. It’s a great arrangement that allows me to practise cooking and control time and make my parents happy, but it’s also time consuming work I find unfulfilling. I couldn’t imagine being a homemaker and certainly would not be willing to sacrifice myself for children like my mum.
This is why I support more “”radical”” views than most on this forum. I benefit from a society that believes women can be as good as men in certain parts of the workforce (e.g., academia, any desk job, drone piloting)
