I’m so happy. Yesterday, I went to collect my previous semester’s results and handed in my summer semester’s assignment. A whole week before the deadline. So proud of myself for not leaving till the last minute to complete it.
The summer semester I took this subject called Games and Strategies for Business, which is essentially Game Theory. Yes, that thing they did on a Beautiful Mind. Nash Equilibrium , through the blockbuster was very badly portrayed. Pity the old man who came up with such a powerful theory and yet when it went to the silver screen, the wrong theory was shown! Haha.
Anyway, that was only one aspect of the whole paper. The rest was rather enjoyable. Familiar names like John Von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern constantly mentioned and before we knew it, the lecturer was flashing Dr. Strangelove, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb during one of the lectures and asked us to analyze it! Sounds like a fun class?
The assignment was equally as fun but still very challenging. During the lectures, I had this crazy idea of analyzing a traditional practice among the Sitiawan folks and folks from smaller towns/villages: main kutu. If some of you noticed that I have been asking around for this main kutu thing on FaceBook or even Twitter, it doesn’t mean that I am going to start one. It is really for the assignment!
I’m glad that I just need to finish off the exam for this one, and I have only two more modules to go! Yippee. It was truly a long and tiring road before I even got to this point. I just hope that I will have the willpower to complete this and graduate!
