A little while ago, I wrote a B.L.O.G. entry about my great-grandfather Fritz Hjalmar Lundgren, but as I was looking over my blog, I realized that somehow it didn't post. The entry even contained a poem that big Fritz wrote about America after he immigrated here from Sweden. Unfortunately, I do not have this poem with me at the moment so I can't type it. Trust me though, it was lovely.
Currently, my life is occupied with something called Econometrics. Yes this is a real word, and yes, this is english. I have a enormous project due tomorrow morning in that class, and I still have loads of work to do on it. The project is interesting though. I am creating a model in STATA, an econometric software program, testing whether NBA players perform better in their contract year or not. And also if their production decreases after they have a multiyear contract in the bag. I am unable to make any conclusions yet, but so far it's looking like players don't generally perform better before they sign a contract, but do slack off after a deal is signed. Hopefully I will finish the project up by tonight. Wish me luck!
To be continued.......
