OHMAN, finally halfway through TERM exams, I'm not sure if that's a plus or minus.
It is just overall damn bad. I think I'm headed straight for SSP. It's not that I mind it or anything, it just sucks to know that you're not doing well. I mean like, I could even sign up for SSP, but.. getting into SSP because you didn't do well just kinda.. sounds depressing.. I know how all the people felt when they got into SSP, now I'm just experiencing that on my own.
Well, it's over already, what has been done already has been done. There's no point fretting about the results, all I can do is study hard for biology. :/ At least there's a full day for me to study bio. I thank God for that. [:
I need to stop being so nervous and anxious when I stand outside the exam hall. I think it's affecting the way I remember things, it's so hard to put stuff into my brain when I get so tensed up and nervous, and after that I get a freaking throbbing headache. Annoying ttm. )):
Anyway, for the econs paper, Eeleng and I came up with two songs, to help us remember ((:
Firstly, the Income method of calculating GDP.
(using the song Thunder starting from "your voice, was the soundtrack of my summer..")
your WAGES, were the PROFITS of my INTEREST.
do you know you're unlike any RENTalS.
you'll always be my INCOME
Income method:
-wages
-profits
-interest
-rents
Secondly, for alternative measures for calculating Standard of Living.
(using the school song)
Physical Quality of Life,
life expectancy at age 1, infant mortality and literacy rates,
are the measures of PQLI.
MEW, measure of economic welfare,
adding value to leisure,
non-marketed goods and discounting for externalities.
Sing HDI, the new index,
dependent on the quantity of resources,
and the ability to use these goods and services,
and the time they have on hand.
Sing HDI, the three measures,
life expectancy, literacy,
PPP-adjusted GNP per capita OHYEA.

Eh, it seriously works okay, try making all of them into a song, it's easier to memorize. D:
