Kids, don't smoke.

   So, here's a thought for y'all:
    I was reading one of my Econ books and learned that in 2001 the Czech Republic saved $28 million dollars in pension and old-age housing from people who died prematurely from smoking. "The net benefit of smoking to the government, including taxes and subtracting public health costs, was reckoned to be $148 million."  Yikes. Imagine if that's how cigarette companies advertised: "Mm, so classy to save society money...by dying early *muhahaha*!"

     Anyway, so even though society can reap a positive externality, don't. do. it. especially if you live in the Czech Republic (why this is worse than any other place to smoke....I just made it up...I don't think there's an actual reason). And remember that there are positive and negative things about everything and whether or not they're positive totally depends on who you are, and where you are, and what you are, and when you are...
Happy last week of March!

Proving my existence: Happy second day of spring!

   So I recently had a complaint about the part where I haven't blogged for awhile. I was quite flattered first of all that someone cared, and then realized that the reason I haven't is because I have only been doing this the past few months:

3D glasses frames really help concentration, you should try it sometime. 

and this:

Yep. Real school happened. So I haven't even explored like I promised myself I would, so I still have no idea what fun things there are to do around here. 

On a more adventuresome note, I did have an itchin' for an adventure the other day and decided to walk to a small canyon by my apartment--so pretty! I didn't actually find an adventure, but I did enjoy the sunshine!

I also have been trying to cook some of the lovely things I had while I was abroad...but things are just not the same (especially with the lame oven my apartment has and the part where I don't cook) donc, voila, scones:

Well, at least they look pretty :)

I am, however, thrilled about finding such a lovely walking spot! I can't wait for the weather to warm up! I love how beautiful the mountains are around here, if my economics class doesn't kill me first, I think a camping trip is in order soon!

Here's a fantastic chill springy song:

Hope y'all had a fantastic second day of spring~!
