Hijacked

It’s become undeniable; they’ve hijacked my mind. And I’m indifferent to the takeover.

I had my second Economics class today. Naturally, I hadn’t done the reading, (My policy is to ignore reading assignments unless A – it’s from Tom or Tutinas who force me to submit answers to questions about the reading prior to class or B- I can’t fall asleep.) so I intended to stay focused. Yet, somehow my brain slipped into “CS MODE” without my permission. The professor was hemming and hawing in attempt to crystallize the precise difference in the definitions of the terms “firm” and “industry.” Instead she opted to give example such as an example of an industry is the airline industry whereas an example of a firm is United Airlines. Ah, so a firm is an instance of the industry class. I kept my comment to myself. She then asked us what an economic model was and my immediate response was that it’s an abstraction. Yup, I’m a goner.
