ECON302 Inter Microeconomics [33rd day]
Hi. It's Illinois Panda.
I'm gonna introduce to you one of the classes I'm taking this semester, "ECON302 Inter Microeconomics." It's held by the Department of Economics. This class has two lectures and one discussion section each week. The period of the lecture is 80 minutes, and the period of the discussion section is 50 minutes. This class aims to provide the basic methods of microeconomics, such as MRS, elasticity, utility maximization, etc. It is easy so far for me because the content I've learned up to now is covered by the class I took at my home university in Japan last year. Though, the lecture here dumbs me down better than the class in Japan. It takes approximately 1.5 times more time to explain the same thing and provides me with not only the ideas related to the main subjects but also the fundamental ideas surrounding them. Thus, it's conducive for me to revise the basic concept of microeconomics in English and deepen my thought. I took the first mid-term exam in the morning, and it wasn't more demanding than I imagined. I think I've got full marks on it. This class is the class that I understand the most so far.
今日、夜ご飯を食べにいつもの食堂に行って受付でいつも通りチェックイン手続きをしました。そしたら何故か食堂の中に通されず、別の場所に案内されました。こんなことは今までなかったのでなんだろうなと思っていたら、食堂のすぐ隣の芝生に連れて行かれました。そこには屋台が何軒も連なっています。どうやら今日はそういうパーティー的な日らしいです。ハンバーガーやマフィンなどアメリカっぽい食べ物が並んで、結構繁盛していました。が、僕はすぐ後に用事があったので、ホットドックとあんドーナツみたいなお菓子だけもらって、木陰ででサクッと食べてすぐ去りました。滞在時間5分ほどでしたが雰囲気は楽しかったです。
今日はこの辺で、では明日。Have a nie day!
