i'm supposed to be studying.. xD i have a final in... oh, less than 3 hours. but i can't find the motivation to study. No matter what I get, I'm getting a B in that stupid class. x( Even if I got perfect, which is impossible in Polisci. *shrug* oh well...

I got a really sweet email today. Someone emailed and asked me if I was planning on cancelling my LSAT score (which is what I've decided to keep). I know that that someone is busy with studying for finals, and it really made me feel special. *thanks someone* x)

OH! I have a cool fact! Did you know that Indiana NEVER changes their time? (Like for Spring or Winter or whatever/whenever we change our clocks) So sometimes they're 2 hours ahead, and sometimes they're 3 hours ahead of us. I thought that was so interesting... haha~ I found this out when I called my friend in Indiana at 5AM our time. (sadly, I was going back to the lib to study after having gone home to brush my coffee-stankin breath). I always wondered why I could never figure out the time difference btwn us and Indy... now I know why. xD

Did you know that the US screwed over Japan mightily? A big reason for their Bubble Economy in the 80's was because of the US making Japan sign the Plaza Accord in 1985, where the US devalued their currency. This made the Japanese yen stronger, which hurt their exports. So the Japanese government started inflating the econony to help their exporters. Japan could have took the other path and made their economy more consumer friendly (by letting some of their exporters go bust), but they were so used to protecting their exports, that in the Maekawa Report, they strongly advised the government to continue helping them (through inflationary policies). See? I'm studying~
