are you female or male? male.
what RO? veee http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=150050¤tpage=3#57
Best pokemon? Favorite TL mod? Number of fingers I'm holding up? Answer wisely.. Togekiss, Manifesto, middle finger?
heh yeah i heard that too, but seeing how like 95% of test takers are korean anyways, might as well. If i get like under a 760 im just not going to submit my score >_<
That's like one question wrong haha
any book recommendations you would give someone trying to learn Korean? or tips / online guides you've seen? anything at all? :D
im using Mango, since its paid for by the libraries, but it only goes up basic.
Maybe "Crazy as Me" By Boxer? You can look at the english translation too and see where you're going wrong.
As for learning Korean I recommend just immersion, TV Shows, Music, etc.
are you even a member of the club? lol
Only if they do bw stuff
oh wait bw is dead fml
How long do you think BW will last? (Relative, absolute, etc.)
Are you truly going to answer that question?
At this point? "Depends" on negotiations, how the court rules, etc etc etc. Even then I think many fans are pissed off at this point to the point where BW doesn't have that much longer since I'm pretty sure a lot of fans feel like me and is just completely disillusioned about this entire thing.

how do i get over the breakup with my girlfriend?
Figure out what caused it, and use that as drive to make yourself a better person. If you read some of my answers I don't really have a real answer to this question, but that's probably how I would (try) to approach it -- figure out what kind of things caused the relationship to break apart and see and change if needed.

what? you are still playing RO? any recommendation of good servers (low rate and many ppl)?

Favorite english dubbed anime..?

Do you still play SC:BW? What's your rank on ICCUP? You're taking economics at the U of Chicago right? How rigorous are the courses? How competitive is the school? Do you ever go party it up in the Chicago night life? Cubs or White Sox? Have you heard of South Barrington? Do you know any economic professors/teachers in Minneapolis? X_X Have you done any research yet? If so, any publications? :D What's your favorite genre of books? Your favorite history class? Favorite class in High School? Favorite class in College? Can you cook? If so, what's your best dish? When you go home, what is the favorite thing your parents make? Jaedong or Flash? Stork or Bisu? Boxer or Yellow? Lomo or Backho?
Thanks for answering. ^_^

Firefox, Chrome, IE, or other?

What are you planning to do for your senior thesis? How much math have you taken? Also, does the econ undergrad head really have a temper like they say he does? Do you plan to go to private sector after graduating or perhaps academia?
Also, have you met or at least seen Steve Levitt (on campus perhaps)?

Why do people still thing modern interpretations of Keynesian economics work?

Uh, I don't think there's a good low rate i'd recommend playing. maybe eternity when it restarts again? (they wipe every year and a half or so iirc?)

Cowboy Bebop
Do you still play SC:BW? What's your rank on ICCUP?
Yes. http://www.iccup.com/starcraft/gamingprofile/Tangerine.html I'm bad and I don't play as often as I should lol
You're taking economics at the U of Chicago right? How rigorous are the courses?
How rigorous the classes are solely depends on the classes you choose to take. You can get away with the ezpz courses that basically teach you nothing, or you can take the hard quantitative/math based courses. You'd think such approach is silly but honestly it helps you build the intuition quite solidly.
How competitive is the school?
To get in? This was the only college I applied to so I don't know. Within? I barely studied and I have a passable GPA at this point I think
Do you ever go party it up in the Chicago night life? Cubs or White Sox? Have you heard of South Barrington? Nope. I don't like parties. And I stopped following baseball T_T. Nope, never heard of South Barrington.
Do you know any economic professors/teachers in Minneapolis? X_X
I do not. I do remember one of my professors criticizing U of M for their criticism of some thing in econometrics, that's about it though...
Have you done any research yet? If so, any publications? :D
Just an undergrad ;p. I'm a research assistant, but I haven't done anything resembling research, just the dataset creation part through programming mostly x_x
What's your favorite genre of books?
Whatever Coelho and Marquez would fall under, I guess.
Your favorite history class?
I haven't taken a real history class, but I like Roman History and the rotk period in chinese history
Favorite class in High School?
AP statistics and AP calculus
Favorite class in College?
Human Capital
Can you cook? If so, what's your best dish? When you go home, what is the favorite thing your parents make?
I cook a little. I think I can make a pretty good Kimchi Stew ;p I like my mom's 깐풍기 which is like a boneless fried chicken dish
Jaedong or Flash? Stork or Bisu? Boxer or Yellow? Lomo or Backho?
Jaedong Stork Yellow Backho
Firefox, Chrome, IE, or other?
Chrome.
What are you planning to do for your senior thesis?
I had *a lot* of ideas but none of them panned out because I had trouble getting the data sets I would have needed to. Right now I'm wondering what is feasible or not and I would probably need to talk to a few professors. I have this idea about an interpretation of Keynesian economics using neoclassical framework with PMI, but i dunno
How much math have you taken?
Inquiry based honors calc, and analysis.
Also, does the econ undergrad head really have a temper like they say he does?
Victor Lima is awesome. He doesn't have a temper, you're probably thinking of the other econ undergrad head, and I have some "omg she's so mean" stories about her but I rather not share on an internet forum
Do you plan to go to private sector after graduating or perhaps academia?
Ideally I want to work for about 2 years before continuing grad school. I might also go for a masters in Statistics inbetween.
Also, have you met or at least seen Steve Levitt (on campus perhaps)?
Yup. I've seen him at a lecture he gave and on one of the grad school seminars I attended. I'm honestly not a fan of Levitt.
Why do people still thing modern interpretations of Keynesian economics work?
Everytime there's a depression and people find out we did something wrong in the economy people get depressed and disillusioned and start bringing Keynes up as a glimmer of hope. Keynes will never die. he did have a lot of cool ideas though, and tbh the idea he was basing his theory off from will always come back and will come back stronger in the future as we understand more and more.
Do you have a driving license?
Yup! Took me two tries cause the first time i drove on the wrong side of the road ^^;;;;
Will you sign my mousepad?
sadly not

^ Haha, I'm not too big a fan of Levitt either but he's a celebrity lol.
Also, have you taken the GRE or do you plan to take it soon? Have you asked any professors for LOR's?

Should I take Real Analysis or Abstract Algebra?

Depends on what you want to do. If you're a math major wanting to go deeper into math (to grad school, etc..) then certainly *both*. Afterall, they both set the basic landscape/language for more modern math.

Does abstract algebra have any use outside of mathematics? Econ and finance graduate programs usually recommend linear algebra and sometimes real analysis, but I've never seen abstract algebra as a prereq.

Play standart every game and get stomped every single game, or 4 pool every game and win some of them?

Probably not, though linear algebra is really a part of abstract algebra (module theory over fields). Most of linear algebra stuff you'll ever need for most other fields are already contained in first one or two intro courses to it, and arguably you only need to know jordan canonical forms (over algebraically closed field, but in industry "algebraically closed field" means the field complex numbers ^^).
In other fields, you will only be using them computationally also (no need to prove the important results), so even taking a full fledged course in real analysis may be overdoing it. No one except mathematicians care about constructions of continuous nowhere differentiable functions, non-constructive proofs (baire-category), and the need for things like lebesgue integral (all the functions you encounter in real life are riemann integrable anyway!)

No plans for GRE yet since I'm not planning on a grad school. Need to figure out what I need to do for LORs though, since I'm taking a break inbetween

Real is more useful for econ, but it's mostly for econ grad school stuff

Play standard every game and get stomped every game. My goal is to get better, not to win.

Is there any chance in your opinion that the Blizzard/Kespa drama will be resolved in a way that leaves the Brood War scene intact?
And the econ questions (first-year PhD student at George Mason here, so this'll be good to get a perspective from a place with very different intellectual leaning as a department than GMU):
How do you feel about the use of economic thinking as an interdisciplinary approach to the rest of the social sciences? (economic imperialism as some of my non-econ social science friends would call it)
Do you find yourself looking at everything else in the world through economics-colored lenses since you've been taking econ?
What economics blogs do you read?
Finally, more accurate picture of the causes of the Great Depression: Keynes or Friedman?
