Mid-semester test: MacroEcons, & 9th quote

Taking a break from any twilight news.

Today's MacroEcons test was actually OK, not very easy, but manageable. But there's a question (10 marks) that I regretted not spending more time for it. I did the last page 1st, which was easy. Then, MCQs and the rest of the questions.

Anyway, that question was asking for drawing of expansionary fiscal policy. I knew that only after the 3rd time of drawing the wrong diagrams. I think I drew the expansionary fiscal policy wrongly... But maybe, there will be some marks for the explanation.

MCQs were alright, perhaps 1 or 2 that I'm not too sure about. The other questions were OK too. But the more I think about them, the more mistakes I think I make, like the inflationary and recessionary gaps.

When I was doing the paper, everything seems fine. However, on my way home, I thought I did wrongly!? If that's really true, then it'll be like ...

As people say, what had happen, happened. I don't think my brain is that lousy... People get pre-exams jitters, I get post-exam jitters.

Hey, I was relaxed during the test. My mind was actually blissfully blank. It was only until the question on expansionary fiscal policy that I started to panic because there was no time left. I did not read the question properly and had to re-do the diagram 3 times.

All in all, the worst result I can fall back on is a B. MacroEcons is a subject I actually like and interested in. It will hurt me deeper if I get bad results for it.

Organisation Behaviour is tomorrow. Hope everything will be fine. A B is all I want for OB. Too theory-based for me, just like marketing. Stupid OB and Marketing and Business Accounting.

New director for New Moon movie (Part 2)

To continue with the previous post about the changing of director for New Moon movie.

Summit Entertainment considered filming New Moon and Eclipse back-to-back, to save money. Save money... is that what matters most now?

While I welcome seeing New Moon on the big screen sooner than expected and maybe Eclipse too ( a few months difference), I would gladly wait if it means that more passion and heart is put into filming the movies.
Back-to-back filming is great. It means that the time-lapse between New Moon and Eclipse will not be a big difference and the actors will not look so grown-up too quickly.

With a low budget for Twilight movie, Summit is able to earn big bucks. I hope this is not getting into their heads. Do they honestly think that twice's the charm? Fans are the main cause that Twilight movie becomes one of highest grossing movies.

I've said this once and will say it again. New Moon and Eclipse cannot afford to be low-budget movies. This is one of my main concerns regarding this whole issue about Summit's plans.

Another concern is that whether the new director (whoever you are), will live up to the expectations.

This news' got to be one of the most commented news on www.twilightlexiconblog.com. People's reactions to this, ranges from outrage to neutral (wait-and-see-approach) to happy.

I suppose new director means a new beginning. Also, a new director does not necessary mean a bad thing. Actually, all that I'm worried about is the uncertain future and that the director will mess things up. I think this is what most fans worry too. There's no security now.

I'm in that wait-and-see-approach category. Hoping that the new director will be confirmed soon and that Summit will not drop any more bombshells on us. This is enough to keep us awake.

Today is the start of mid-semester tests. MacroEcons paper at 1pm. This is the one subject I have some interest for and so, have higher expectations for. The problem is, the topics are easy. I must do well for it. At least a B+ but I'm aiming for an A.
