This is one of those My Desk posts – simply because I love showing off my desk. I am a lousy housemate. When I study, I am like the Zerg. I start out from one location, and move to another, with my notes sprawling all over the place. Here’s a photo of my house before I had my last exam yesterday:

I started out behind the monitor (yes, the drawings are Ben Bernarke wearing a pirate eyepatch and George W. Bush, drawn and coloured by me). As the exam weeks go by, I moved on to the white table, and sat and read on the white sofabed for relaxation.

Then in the final week, I used the round dining table as my study ground. In fact, by the final week, I used all three tables, and the bathtub, and the toilet for study. There was no where in the house that I didn’t study in. And where I studied, I left my creep of notes around.

I used the white table mainly for my advanced ‘metrics course study. Basically, all I did was math and math and more math. So, the crumpled papers on the green rug are actually practice questions that I did wrongly, or papers that I had erased till the fibre of the papers had came lose. The notes on the brown sofa are actually printout notes from The Matrix Cookbook (fine matrix algebra website by the way, probably the best).

Notes on the round table are my policy and strategy course notes and my advanced macroeconomics notes.

So.. exams over. I had a very long catchup sleep, and still going to catch more sleep.This is the end of all exams. But I look forward to more research in the future! In the meantime, you can play the game of IkeaSpotting in the picture above
