I thought my chance encounter with sickness was singular: no, it has returned. I feel fine, it's just this little tickling cough that as you go to sleep and are just about to pass into unconsciousness gives you the tiniest cough ever, but destroys all the progress you made and makes you have to start all over again. Try that for three nights in a row until past 3AM. Ouch
I've been in all my classes and lectures and things are a little daunting. I didn't realize how much econometrics plays into 3 of my 4 courses. And in the course it doesn't I need to waste half my time, not working on my assignments, but tracking down relevant, obscure, out-of-print books from the library in order to write my little summary. Thanks professor! However, even though Development Economics requires econometrics, which I didn't realize, I really like the TA for my class. Same for Latin American Economics. Ronny (Prof Razin) leads the classes for PECO and he seems good. Dougherty is the only enigma left. Had to miss 9AM lecture because I was too tired and under the weather. At least he posts recordings of his lectures online. Can you believe it?
On an unrelated note, the quality of Subway here is significantly worse than in the States. They have a deal, where if you get the 6 inch sub of the day, it is only 2 quid. Sounds like a deal, right? Except it tastes pretty pale in comparison to the American subway, specifically the one at Georgetown. And supermarket selection is significantly worse than back home too. What do they have against easily identifying yogurt as "yogurt"? I guess there was something to be said about bad British food heh
