Interesting day

I had an interesting day of ups and downs.
- The major up is that I am going to get major cash for my student representative job. This means I get to invest more or pay for plane tickets for the summer. woohoo!
(this btw, is my regular fee for doing that student representative thing. at least, it's part of it. so it doesnt come as a surprise. I was kinda worried about when they would transfer part of it for tax purposes.)
- Another up is that I got Amanda a small job. She gets to proof read articles for our faculty website! So she can make some money. It aint much but it is something. I am not sure how much it could be (in the most positive case, if every article goes through you, 6/7 articles a week. and they are short. She could probably get 10 euro's per article. I'd say that you can count on 1 or 2 a week. Easy money :)

- The major down was that I got quite some comments on my paper after handing it in (without a conclusion, lol) on Wednesday night. It was not super negative per se but it basically comes down to the fact that i'll have to do quite a lot for it this weekend. which sucks. I want to keep the weekends reserved for time with Amanda but I HAVE to do this before Sunday. I really want an 8 in that class so I NEED a 7.5 for this paper. At least the guy gave me some helpful material. It's gonna be a long long day tomorrow (after spending about 36 hrs in 3 days on it this week already).

oh, and I get to interview one of the best Dutch economists (who actually lives in Maryland) for an article on our website (which is part of my job as student representative). He finished first in some publications/citations ranking over the 2000-2004 period (publications take time to get through I suppose). Pretty sweet!
