We got an e-mail about them wanting the plastic containers, peeler, and other cooking utensils that we bought with their money. Sigh...I'd hoped they wouldn't notice we'd only returned the useless stuff. At least we've already made our second batch of apple cobbler.
I mostly researched today. If I thought you'd be interested in Australia's potential benefits from a free trade agreement with India, I would write about that. But I doubt it. I'm not even particularly interested. I wish our papers could include more ideas and less facts; I feel like this paper won't demonstrate anything other than my ability to collect data and assemble it into paragraphs.
Classes were good. This time Economics of the Family related to Environmental Economics; we learned about public goods. Stuff like national defense, street lamps, and air. Let's say everyone needs to pay to use the streetlamps, but I decide not to pay. They're not going to turn the streetlamps off every time I walk by. Of course, everyone's thinking the same thing, which is why the government buys them. The national defense example explains the concept better, but I like streetlamps better than guns.
And in the evening I watched Philadelphia, and I just realized the title doesn't particularly relate to the plot, except that apparently that was the setting. It was a good movie, but sad. It left me wanting milk and cookies, or maybe a nice, soft blanket.
As an aside/conclusion, I ordered fried noodles for dinner and actually received fried noodles! Much tastier than the rice, initially. After awhile the grease annoyed me. Oh well.
