Mucha Gracias

'Too much of a good thing..

..Is wonderful.'

So said Mae West.

I don't believe her, because my Intro Econs text says: The more you consume something you originally deem fantabulously marvelous (excuse the euphoric terms, too much sugar too little food in my system) the more your marginal rate of satisfaction goes down, and the less likely you will be willing to trade something else you have for it. Comparing the demand for two commodities brings us to the indifference curve, of which we have to draw a budget constraint curve at a tangent to it.

Ohwhatthehellwhocaresanyway? There is a reason I got that big fat D at the 'A'Levels, and why I continue my downward reign with a trailing hoopla of C's even in uni. Yes life is sad. For me, anyway.

So for now: my temporary status of midterms: 3down-2to go, a midterm break, a mysteriously unplanned 2kg weight loss, an upcoming birthday I nearly forgot about, and a boyfriend who makes me happy when he doesn't make me angry, should suffice in making me happy.

Well, ok Mae. Too much of a good thing is..

..

..It's wonderful
