Introducing Kiwi (no, he's not a fruit and he's not from New Zealand)

Babson has an online forum where the class can post random thoughts, tips, comments, etc. and this guy in our class (Kiwi) wrote a pretty funny entry. Thought you might be amused by it. For further Kiwi'isms, his blog is at http://kiwisworld.blogspot.com/. Anyway, without further ado, here's Kiwi:

Why I’m Having Problems Preparing for my Babson MBA
- a long perspective by Kivanc “Kiwi” Ozseden

Here is what I went through today (and welcome into my head, hope it doesn’t scare you too much):

I need to go read my Economics textbook to prep for the Econ Test for Babson, I need to get away from my apartment since it has too many distractions: the beach, the pool, beautiful women smiling (at me? Who knows but I smile back and try to chitchat), the internet…no no, must get away!! I know I’ll go to Barnes and Nobles, yeah! No distractions there.

Ok here we are, got my Ice Latte grande, got my Econ book and let’s go….Scarcity yeah, Invisible hand, yeah…..HEEEEY now wait just a minute!! That girl that walked in is pretty cute, let me smile at her…hmm no response, she must be married or something. Another cute one, yowser!! How you doin’? Dang it! I shouldn’t have picked the Barnes and Nobles close to Nova University….ok, ok back to the book. Yeah surplus and inefficiency, got it. Inelastic and elastic…man I remember when I was little, a buddy of mine had an elastic jumping thingamathing. Boy that was fun!!

Ok Kiwi focus geez!! You sound like you have ADD. Hmm I wonder if I do have ADD? I wonder what having ADD feels like. I mean I don’t feel weird. I do have a lot of random thoughts in my head but that’s normal right?

Ok back to the book. Changes in Demand versus Changes in Quantity demanded, lovely. Consumer Income…speaking of income, it sure sucks not to work anymore and have a steady paycheck come in (especially for the amount of time I was putting in at work)…FOCUS! Fallacy of composition, Association Not Causation, now we are rolling. Oh boy, gotta go to the bathroom, thanks Mr. Ice Latte.

Ok I’m back…let’s see where was I, ceteris paribus…hehehe sounds like a weird name for a worm, funny. Latin always cracks me up. I wonder if I should learn Latin and impress girls…hmmm

Let’s see, Positive Economics, Normative Economics got it. Opportunity cost… I wonder why when I stare at people’s eyes when they walk by they look away…aren’t the eyes the windows to their soul? What are they hiding, and why is everyone that is reading here so serious? I wonder what they would do if someone was to go streaking right now in the store? Heheheh Old school…you my boy BLUE!

Price and Market Order….Hey that author’s name sounds Turkish, AND his book is a New York Times Best Seller wow!! I should go check it out. Yup he is Turkish, man I’m impressed (the name of the book is Snow). Hey that Barnes and Nobles lady is putting 30% discount stickers on those books, I wonder if there are any interesting ones. I wonder what people would do if they saw me walking around with a sticker on my forehead that said 30% off…heheheh

Anyway, long story long, I “read” like 70 pages in 2.5 hours…yikes!! Anybody else have problems “focusing”? I guess the more I get use to reading textbooks again the faster it will go, right?? Talk about changes!!!

Cheerios everyone, hope I was able to put a smile on your face because writing this sure made me smile (and don't worry I'm not AS crazy as I sound...really.)
