clearly i'm inconsistent
Sorry for the lack of updates everyone, but my life has been a bit crazy.
Bad news first. I did terrible on my first midterm :( Ok not really terrible, but terrible in comparison to what I expect from myself. I got exactly the average grade in the class on my first economics midterm, but considering economics is my major, I think I should shoot to do way better than average. Now I'm really really distressed, and even vaguely considering changing concentrations. At the very least, I might have to quit some extracurriculars so that I can work harder on my classes.
But on a totally and completely different note, I'm also getting some sort of book award for getting a really good GPA in my freshman year. So the deal is that I get to pick a book and they will inscribe it with my name and present it to me at this award ceremony. The problem is that I don't read any intellectual books, and I have a feeling that they will look at me REALLY funny if I say "inscribe my name on a harry potter book". Anyone got any suggestions for good intellectual-type books that I might want for such an award?
