I just got back from the most intense, blow your mind discussion ever.
We were meeting for Fed Challenge and compiling our individual researchs to create an outline for our presentation, but holy shit was it amazing. It must have been the most intellectually stimulating conversation I've ever had that actually used substance and background knowledge to back up our claims. We were bouncing ideas to each other, sparks were flying back and forth, and our brainstorming bubbled up to an orgasm of intellectual mindpower. At times it was intense debate -- and yet other times we were fooling around talking about conspiricy theories, wondering if our advisor might reimburse us for food we could order, and laughing about whether or not our advisor would crank call us and pretend he was Santa Claus. What was supposed to be a thirty minute discussion spilled over to three hours, but I hardly noticed the time go by; I was having too much fun.
We don't really have a solution yet, but the groundwork is there for greatness. If we can pull this off, our shit will blow everyone else out of the water.
Talking about the current state of the economy, the short-term outlook, and the long-term outlook of the United States has made me realize how fucked we are. This recession isn't over.
