The so many crazy people
Well, on last week end, one of my Korean guys told me there are too many crazy people in I-house. In fact, I totally agree with it. I can't really find a sane person in I-house. He and some friends are moving out and I think they are ones of those non-crazy people which I cannot really find. For those insane asses, I would like say 'nice try'. You guys really got me. I would like to write this on facebook but its too radical, then I ended up here to write this down.

The shopping with no waiting
In the middle of a day of weekday I went to glossary shopping 100 percent by bus and no walk. It has been possible ever since the first by taking student shuttle and 201 which come frequently and connect amazingly with no waiting time at all during the day time of weekdays. The reason I did not try this ever before was because I was too bothered to shop during the convenient time zone, then ended up procrastinating to the weekend's night, the most inconvenient time zone for bus takers.

The donation
This evening I went to Trader's Joe for the second time today. Before I shopped at Trader's Joe, I went down stairs of Village Square to use the bathroom. After I got out of the bathroom, I was stopped by a boy aged around high school. He was talking to me a memorized sales talk in a triple speed and gave me a card. I was hardly catching the words he was saying but he was simply asking me for the 20 dollars of donation for a organization I had never heard of. I suppose the organization can be fake for the high chance because of the cheep looking card which does not contain any valuable information,however, it said 'Nevada'. the poor looking boy came all the way down from Nevada to ask people some money. Well, I would say 20 is too much. If it is a dollar, maybe I'm o.K. to contribute to his financial situation but 20 is way too much.
The core part of this happening was at the interaction between me and the guy. He offered me with a tax incentive of such; if I gave 30 instead of 20, he would write me a recite for tax deduction. Then I told him that I do not pay taxes because I am a student and neither my parents because they live in Australia.
Then, he was quite surprised assuming from the reaction and; somehow asked me a question of who were the foundations of Australia. I gave him the right answer 'prisoners'. Then he said 'that's right, you are so smart' and that was it. I told him 20 is just too much. I left.

The Glossary Shopping
The distance from ERC to La Jolla Village Square is about 2 miles and plus. The inconvenience of the bus routes and frequencies are tempting us to consider about the acquisition of cars. My 19 years old Korean friend who works out everyday and muscular cannot even walk and back from the mall, however, I can. The two points I am trying to make here is that the total weakness of the friend and the inconvenience of the system.
For one thing, the friend is too childish. It can be hard for the muscular youth to walk about a mile with some sopping backs though why cannot he stop swearing on all the way. I could have done some things worth but I did yell or swear. It is true that I have stamina and experience through persistent bike touring and trekking of hardcore distances and I am older with more sour experiences, however, I am still surprised with his childishness. Is it because I am not used to deal with younger people or he is just extra childish? It is impossible to figure any further than this. On the other hand, he also has some nice attitudes to show as supposedly that is the reason why I am still hang out with him time to time. He has bought me a birthday gift which no one had ever gave to me in my life except for my parents and grands. I know he is trying to behave nicely but not successful all the time. I should forgive him.
The physical distance to the mall from the ERC is immense as let me be more strategic about the purchases as I do not want to be bothered by the urgency of glossary lists. The stratege simply means the purchase by quantity in one time but as you know it is tough when I hold everything on my own. The reason why they do not have the accessible bus root from the ERC to the mall is because we are not supposed to shop at malls in regular basis because of the dinning hall plans which sucks so hard for the sense of general consumers. We are supposed to use dinning plans but it does not much our demands.

Noam Chomsky : Problems of knowledge and FREEDOM
The book I am currently reading as I finished the first half which is about Chomsky's theory of the interpretation of worlds. In the nuts shell what he suggest is that the system of interpretation is empirical and not behavioural. The empirical interpretation is something created by human beings as invariant structures which is designated to be adaptable to human minds. The children learn this invariant structures to attain the means of interpretations. The human beings can create this standard of invariant structures and this is the beauty of what human beings can do.
The second part is about the social phenomenon as we can see FREEDOM in the title. That was pretty much a philosophical and linguistic reading I have not done for the past two years but the time before. I has been a interesting and worthy for the training mean.

The obesity
Lately, I have been quite fat for a obvious reason that I do not have the effect mean of exercising any more. The bikes I have got stolen was pretty expensive although it was fully insured. Considering the recent financial and time management wise conditions, it is unrealistic to buy a bike in U.S. even though I am getting exquisitely obese these day from the feeling of the tightness of my T-shirt and the roundedness of my face has become. How can I solve this problem without working out in the sweaty RIMAC. I have tried couple time though, it was too painful to continue for the sufficient amount of time. There was no joy I could expect to my bike. The other way I can control is the input of the food I sustain on. It should work if I do it right but not as so far to be controlled. How can I deal with this kind of thing which I have no clue with? Well, in fact I do but I am not on the motivated action. Should I wait until I get motivated by worth sign of obesity? No way.

The market failure of Ph.D
As "over Doctors" is a common term in the industry of scholars, the demand and supply simply does not see their equilibrium on its specific labour market. I personally thinking of pursuing Ph.D of Economics because I know a professor of Economics who explained about me of the options of jobs I can have as a Ph.D of Economics. One is the Professor which is highly competitive, another is the private firms' researcher and the other is the officer of public organizations such like U.N. or Central Banks. When I heard this, I was pretty positive about the life plan as a Ph.D; however, the career as Ph.D in general is not so brightly paved as I come to know lately.
One specific reason for this is because the skill which Ph.D has is very specific on certain field. Of course Ph.D also has highly established skills which is universally adaptable such as analytical skills and problem solving skills; meanwhile if those skills were not well presented on the appeal to the people of different industries, it is extremely difficult for those Ph.D holders to attain deserving employments. The failure of the presentation of your labour value to the employees simply drop the title into the categories of "over doctors". As the general recognitions the M.A.s are relatively unspecified on its skilled compared to Ph.Ds, then employers usually expect those to be more adaptable to their businesses or public duties.
My professor has got a job in the business sector and the public sector but not a position as a Professor when he finished his Ph.D. but finally achieved it in Sophia and now he transferred to the position in Kent University in England. The reason why he could be successful in the start of his career was because of his bilingual skill I assume. The all jobs he has got in the first place was in Japan and of course, bilingual Ph.D is quite precious in Japan. Further more he perhaps could present himself better than other competitors.
So as he had his own strategy to win the game of job hunting he has done a great work. Meanwhile that is only a success story that I could only hear, it does not guarantee my success. On the other hand, I even have problems to go to graduate school as to speak of my current situations. I need to prepare for the applications and such and if I were not going to pass the applicant selections. I do not even have a choice to do anything but a 'over Bachelor'.
