E Constant

• 终于考完反人性的 qualify exams，卡通派的 micro 老师没有再出养老虎的题目，但是变成了养蜜蜂。生产要素是 food and love，but love can’t be bought。另外三道分别是 sequential equilibrium，insurance market 和 general equilibrium 的综合还有 optimal externality。macro 还是老套路，OG+searching model+optimal tax+RBC。
• 暑假家里剩下三个早出晚归的小孩子，管我们的大人居然和美国的 under 去毕业旅行了，后果果然不堪入目
  对比一下前后差别
  
• Alaska 之行因为大家的时间问题取消，只好退而求 Yellowstone 或者 Grand Circle。

  The gap year.
  The gap year is probably the most common type of extended travel, undertaken by students in the year immediately after school, college or university. Travelling the world during this period is a very common goal. This enables gap year students to broaden their experience, increase their understanding of themselves and others, as well as being a fun and interesting time. After a gap year of travel, students are able to go to university or start a career with an additional level of confidence. This really does work.

  Typical characteristics : most people in this group tend to be lone travellers or with a close friend, in the age 18 – 22 bracket, on working holiday visas, often doing any kind of job they can find.

  Mid-Twenties Crisis
  Vast numbers of people mid-way through the start of promising careers realize that this is not what they wanted to do their whole lives! This often coincides with finally paying off the debts from university educations, or the saving of enough money to put a deposit on a house, and then realizing that there is more to life than careers, office politics and material things, like increasing the size of the DVD collection. One massive positive out of all these negatives is that confused, possibly disillusioned career people can embark on one the most worthwhile experiences of their lives, which might well be life changing.

  Typical characteristics : often the lone traveller, usually from a ‘good job’, discovering more about themselves than they had ever imagined. They are often found in very adventurous situations!

• 毕业一年，大家又决定要开始折腾了。
  
• 3G iPhone $199，真是喷喷香，对于国内经常换手机的同学真是太廉价了。基于享受技术和艺术的双重体验的 objective function…但是年老色衰而又声音沙哑的 Jobs 在这次 WWDC 上缺乏精彩表现啊

花数个小时听完 locator 对于合同的详细解释，我终于租了自己的第一个 apartment，不用再寄人篱下了……
