- November 2, 2009, on Universities and Economic Growth:
I'm not sure about an open office. I could study fine in my dorm room, which didn't have a computer or anything like that but in an office I'd have to deal with other people. Important at work but it wouldn't help me get my Chemistry book read.
U tended to like studying on my bed while swishing my legs around. Lying on the floor swishing your legs wouldn't be acceptable in an office.
That's not to say I wouldn't have benefited from more collaborative projects, but I need time alone to.
However, I agree about lectures being mostly useless. I often drew during lectures to stay awake.
