So I have a choice to make, and i'd like any opinions that you'd like to give.
I have 3 classes left till I graduate with a dual major in Finance and Economics. I have to take a BPS (breadth physical science) class... aka some lame freshman biology or chemistry class I shoulv'e taken a long time ago.
Then I have to take 2 Econ classes that are 5000 level or higher.
The problem is I'm only interested in one econ class that is being offered in spring. The rest make me want to rub a cheesegrater across my forehead (name that movie!). So do I take a semester off to work and take the classes I really would like to learn more about in the fall? Do I suffer and take one class in spring to get it overwith? or do I take one class now and leave one class for the fall?
Here are my econ class options/class descriptions:
I'm interested in 5000, 5200, 5500, and 5600
ECON 5100: History of Economic Thought
Origin and development of economic theories of leading thinkers in western civilization.
ECON 5300: Industrial Organization- Game Theory
Emphasizes market structure, firm conduct, and economic efficiency. Topics include competition, game theory, monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition, firm strategies, and anti-trust policy in the United States.
ECON 5600: Financial Economics
Introduction to development of our present system of money, banking, and financial institutions. Analysis of central bank policy, capital markets, speculative markets, and portfolio theory.
ECON 5000: Advanced Macroeconomic Topics
Covers advanced topics in macroeconomics. Exact topics depend on recent developments in the macroeconomic discipline, the research and teaching expertise of the faculty, and the current state of the macroeconomy, both inside and outside of the U.S. Focuses on studying the most recent developments in macroeconomic theory and applying the theory to the pressing problems in the contemporary macroeconomy.
Taught by Frank Caliendo, who I've heard is an awesome professor
ECON 5110: Economic History of the United States
Development of agriculture, industry, transportation, and finance from colonial times.
ECON 5150: Comparative Economic Systems
History, economic theories, and comparative policies of communist, socialist, and capitalistic economies. Problems facing transition economies.
ECON 5200: Money and Banking
Covers financial markets and the determination of interest rates and asset prices; the money supply process; the structure of the Federal Reserve System and the goals of the Federal Open Market Committee; other topical central banking issues; and the effects of monetary policy on output, interest rates, inflation, unemployment, financial markets, and exchange rates.
ECON 5400: International Trade Theory
Intermediate-level issues in international trade theory and commercial policy. Topics include competitive and noncompetitive trade models, trade policy, balance of payments accounting, exchange rates, international lending and investment, and economic growth.
ECON 5500: Public Finance
One of the most important questions in economics is when or if we should abandon the personal decisions of markets and substitute choosing with and for others through government. By examining the economic activities of government, including taxation, spending, and regulation, this course attempts to answer that question.
Comment on what classes you think I should take and if I should:
A) take sring semester off, and take the classes i'm interest in during fall
B) take one now and one in fall
C) Suffer thru one uninteresting class and one good class
D) Something else
Thanks!!

You Won't Believe It But....
It'a a girl!!!!
Wait- what?? I know I know, you won't believe it but we did. We bought another Yorkie. This time it's a darling little girl! She is SOOOO CUTE!! I'm so glad we found her. She happened to be in Logan too! She is AKC registered, and so small and darling.
We still don't know what we are going to name her. Our top names are Rio (as in where Brock served his mission in Brasil) and Gucci.
A few others are:
Ritzy
Belle
Elly
Choco
Versace
Zuzi (like suzie)
(added some more names)
Ilse/Ilsa
Porscha
Sophie
Adelade
Elsie
Akira
Laika
Xala
Harley
Any ideas would be great, so if you have a good puppy name leave a comment and maybe we'll pick yours. If you do, then you deserve some sort of prize!!
Here are some pics, enjoy!
Don't worry Howie- I still love you the most! He was so shy around her at first, then when she started getting curious and exploring he growled a little and nipped at her.

•Great things are in store.
•If we step aside from where "the sticks" or priesthood, that mark the path, then we are lost.
•Having children happens in the lords time. We don't understand the lords time table, but we put things in the lords hands and we are blessed with our desire.
•We are judged for our works and for the desires of our hearts. Do the best you can.
•Personal revalation: When will the lord communicate with us? Shut up and listen. The lord won't wake up someone to reveal to them (drowsy and tired in church).
•Wake up early, pray then study scriptures. Makes his time more effective and so he doesn't forget things. •"Biblical trash", numbers, song of Solomon.
•NO TEXTING during church, he condemns it! Its disrespectful and distracting.
•Lord reveals on his own time, way, and will.
•Satan doesn't have much time. Greatest temptation will be with things that are the greatest to the plan of our Heavenly Father. Things that take away agency-alcohol, (interferes with the power of the mind) tobacco, drugs. pornography, things that drive away the spirit. Anything that destroys the family: De-emphasis of marriage.
•Jesus taught he is the son of God
•The church has no choice but to defend marriage as between man and woman. It has been that way for millenia. We will teach the wrongness of same sex attraction.
•Hold fast to the things that keep us qualified to feel the spirit, attend all church meetings.

Coastal Scents
So this is a picture of the eyeshadow palatte I just bought from coastalscents.com. It was only $18.95 and has over 88 different colors in it. They are fairly little but still- I don't think i'll be running out anytime soon. They have tons of colors, the next palatte I want to get is the 88 warm (CLICK).
Anyways, I've been super excited about halloween, makeup, and trying out new things. SO I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for me, OR if there were any makeup looks you'd want to see. I've seen tinkerbell looks, geishas, 80's rockers, skull masks and even masqurade masks- painted on the face! If anyone wants to be a victim- or to play makeup with me let me know.
I also need to put up some pictures of my house all decorated and ready for halloween! Those will be coming soon. Leave your comments! Thanks!
