3月30日 A lawyer eats sushi.In the next two weeks, I will have four papers to turn in.. Am I a journalist? No, a journalist gets paid for her writing, but I'm paying to be able to write. Haha no, that's not a logical argument. I took days to understand property laws and stuff and then days to write my paper. Oh my god, that was the hardest paper ever. And guess what, I have contract and tort cases to write about in the next month! So, after this course, I will either be very knowledgeable about these laws or you won't be able to pay me enough to make me your lawyer because I will be so ewwww to lawsuits.
Actually, if you are considering paying me or somebody else to be yor lawyer, you should think of who would cost more, not in terms of salary but in terms of efficiency. If you hire somebody else who requires less effort to solve your case, then it is more efficient to let her be your lawyer. In contrast, if you hire me (maybe because I'm cuter than the other person! Yeah!), the cost difference would create inefficiency - that is it should be for something better, like treat me lunch. That's what Coase was talking about in his Theory of Social Cost, something I cracked my head trying to understand over the months. Ok, when you read it, it didn't look as easy as what you just read here. Anyway, I guess Coase's name should be mentioned elsewhere because it is more worthwhile to write about things that relate to me rather than to some great economist on my blog. Or maybe I should be a great economist so that the society will achieve optimal efficiency?
But I think the most efficient thing to do write now is go back to my second case analysis since it's due a week from today, the same time when my media studies paper is due. I'm hungry, too. I still have craving for sushi even though I have had it for a few times this week. Two days ago day I was sitting outside Physics building, on the lawn behind Ed School, eating sushi and studying maths. (Had a math testthis morning. Omg, in one problem, I forgot the simplest thing I should know for the test!) Really nice weather. I knew all those squirrels were like "fffhhh ffhhh I want that, too, fffhhh fffhhh." But sorry, my craving took over your cuteness, squirrels. |
