Morning!

Whoo-hoo! It's 7:12 a.m. right now and am feeling great. :D Just woke up, so i think i can squeeze in a little post here.

Both my media studies and film studies tutorials have been canceled today (2 days of classes a week, ain't that D-vine?), but i'm popping over to hand in my assignment and to play basketball with Brown Bear's mechanical ppl. XD

About the assignment, it was supposed to be due on Monday but apparently during the previous lecture, right after he said "class is over" and i rushed off, he said "oh wait wait. the assignment will be postponed to wednesday". I didn't hear. I had it done by Monday.

But never-dee-mind, coz i managed to discover some mistakes to my answers. Now i have decided to take back whatever rubbish i said about Mr Mootee as he is a fantastic lecturer who dishes out assignment answers like free food for the poor.

We had this question about housing. If a hurricane came and destroyed lots of houses, what happens? It's kinda confusing, if u ask me. Does demand rise, coz ppl's houses are all destroyed and once they claim insurance they can afford a new roof over their heads? Or does supply fall, coz houses are, well, destroyed. Do you illustrate either, or both? Long run, short run?

Initially i tried to ask my tutor, Val, in a cunning circuitous manner but he refused to tell me the answer. So fine lor. When i asked Prof Mootee he was like "supply shifts la. neh, like the hurricane?" and i was majorly taken aback for such a direct answer. So the answer was pretty simple. Supply falls. And i guess i was just over-analysing the question...
