Yea I'm meant to be studying Economics.
The Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility states as extra units of a good are consumed the satisfaction gained from each unit of that good falls.
There's a wee fact for ya. ;D

Ah good old Economics. I'd say this years exam will be fun considering what's happening to the economy.
So if I eat one chocolate bar, then another, then another, eventually a point will be reached where I won't enjoy the next one as much as the last.
Huzzah I bloody loved Economics.

i dont do anything at the moment really... I did Communications and Media Production in Colaiste Dhulaigh and got a Diploma... Its a BTEC course so you can go to england for a year and get accepted into the last year of a degree course and then go on in that college and do a masters and stuff.... See none of this stuff is taught to people in secondary much... the LC is "the be and end all of your life" but its not... there are other ways around it.. obviously if youre like jennie wanting to be a doctor thats slightly different .. but they do sciences and stuff in FETAC/BTEC colleges too..

Yea we are told that.(about the lc ) But I did hear some of the other ways are way better. The only thing turning me off media studies is that its combined with like english and journalism bleeeugh

we didnt do journalism.... the only thing with our class was that they didnt do anything with live sound... everything was studio work and working with protools... i wouldnt know how to deal with equalisers or anything too much at the moment... If ye stuck me in a studio though id be able to do a few things..
