So lately I've been doing a mock PFA (Physical Fitness Assessment) every day in preparation for the official PFA we have next week. However, I found out today that I was thinking it's a week earlier than it really is. In the words my roommate, "Bro, that gives you like 7 more days of lifting, running, and that gains diet." If you weren't aware, a gains diet is a diet where one eats A LOT in order to put on muscle.

I found a new collection to explore at the rare book library - Yale has a rare map and globe collection that is particularly interesting. They have everything from Napoleon Bonaparte's personal battle maps to globes belonging to King George III of England (The king during the American Revolution) to nautical charts from the past few hundred years. It sounds pretty chill, so I'll have to go check it out sometime.

I also recently heard that our rare book library acquired a Tyndale Bible, which is first Bible printed in the English language - the English equivalent of a Gutenberg Bible. The library has Yale's Gutenberg Bible on permanent display, but the Tyndale Bible is not on display yet, so I can probably have it pulled for viewing one afternoon.

This econ class is so cool. It's neat because Prof. Shiller is great friends with George Akerlof (another Nobel Prize winning economist from Yale)...whose wife is Janet Yellen, the new chairman of the Fed. He just has so many connections and gives a really neat insight on the economy. He's also just a stellar guy.
