New Semester

Courses:
1. Mirco Theory II
2. Design of Field Research Methods (different from traditional economics, we're required to take a qualitative course, which I belive to be a positive change)
3. Seminar on Public Management (I change my original mind since taking politics courses would be too reading-intensive for me. This course load is not so heavy, and I found it's not so boring as I thought. I would concentrate more on the 4th.   )
4. Public Economics II (expenditure side: social security, health care, social insurance, welfare, fiscal federalism and education.)
(by David Culter and Martin Feldstein, too big guys in public finance/health care, both academic and policy)
 
CA: Program Evaluation (quantitative, econometrics) (mainly grader, may also hold an office hour). I apply this primarily for my SSN  
Research: look for possible detailed topics in public/development

The Movie "Lagaan"

'Lagaan' - a movie set in the colonial times in India. The movie was nominated for the Oscars in the Best Foreign Film category and is on BBC's list of 50 movies that you must watch before you die. It‘s a movie in which a farmer challenges some British officers to a game of cricket.
 
看过的最精彩最戏剧性的类似棒球的“比赛”(cricket,板球,英国的一项运动)。

很长,3个多小时。幽默的,喜剧的,夸张的,又扣人心弦的,峰回路转的。
 
喜欢印度的音乐和舞蹈。雅俗不分,雅俗共在,非常folk。欧洲上流社会的音乐和舞蹈放在电影里一对比,只能让人窃笑。
 
有一个印度同学,第一年的老板也在印度工作了很久,熟悉印度。想着去印度做暑期实习怎么样,赫,只是夏天太热了。印度同学说他早就习惯了。嗯,我还不行,大概是叶公好龙,暂时不会去印度做事。不过以后一定要去印度体验一段时间。

整理硬盘

来美国之前,都没有好好整理硬盘,过了一个学期也没怎么整理。今天大刀阔斧的整理。旧的没有的东西都统统清出硬盘,转移到别的地方“留念”,或者等需要的时候才拿出来清出乱杂的东西,让电脑清晰而反应敏捷。头脑也该这样。
 
新学期快来了,忙选课,找on campus job(本来不想这么快找,可以先享受纯fellowship的“清闲”,不过看来得搞个身份啦哈),还有暑期计划。马上又要上课罗。这学期大概会上微观2,一门商学院的定性分析课,两门政治学方面(偏公共政策,制度,社会资本)的课。
