Economics of Drunk

I went drinking with my ECON class. Lots of fun. Newman is great, and the class is a great support group. Fusball and beer, politics and economics, 911 and the house of lords, ecology and the problem with higher education. I made it through the entire evening without bringing up morality and I didn't even have to try. Lots of fun topics anyways. Good times.

It may be the beer talking, but I think I'm going to stay in all my classes. One of my fellow students is absolutely ADAMENT that I not drop it. Says it'll be stupid beyond reconing. He says that I should be able to learn the stuff by the final and that he'll help me. He says that aiming for 83% isn't unreasonable and that there's no reason I shouldn't aim for 100%, if only to prove a point.

We'll see how I feel about it in the morning, but it certainly appeals to the fighter in me. I hated the feeling of being defeated, by something beneath me no less. This semester might be hard on my grades, but damnit, it would feel good not to fail or drop anything. I can feel the kickass of it all coursing through my veins. And that's not the alcohol (that's causing the blurred vision and light-headedness).
