  Today: math clinic group. Decide if I want to lead Thursday econ paper discussion. (gotta do one, might as well get it out of the way.. )

  Monday: -
  Tuesday: read paper for econ
  Wednesday: math clinic team meetings – have something ready that needs meeting to get through
  Thursday: math stat hw, econ paper

  No fixed deadline but should do soon: Choose paper for math stat pres. Go over math stat test 1. Maybe catch up with what’s going on in discrete math modeling.

  There’s a lot of synergy going on in my classes right now, which makes me sit around and go “wow”. Discrete and math stat are both doing some crazy linear algebra tricks. Yesterday math stat and econ both talked about Monte Carlo methods to quantify bias under certain assumptions.

  I had a true math geek zen moment Tuesday. I’m not terribly interested in (at least the parts we’re doing now) Environmental Econ, but I actually thought “The math is hard enough to make this interesting.”
