I'm learning a ton of interesting stuff in my new classes and I'm impressing everyone with my new knowledge. By example, my father and me where out to buy a liquid to prevent the plumbing of the country house to break due to the cold of the winter. And he was hezitating about which brand to take, one which he knew well but was very expensive, and one he had never tried but that was slightly cheaper. Then I explained to him that the two products were in a 'oligopole'(that's the french word for it, I dont know what it is in english) competition, which meant that both products got a very alike quality and the reason why the brand he knew well was more expensive compared to the other brand is that there was probably much more publicity for it than for the other and that the price was higher, not because of higher quality, but because he would be paying for all the publicity it had gotten. As for the smaller product, that has had no publicty, it's the same thing as the other brand, but since the company who makes it spent little money on publicity, they can sell it for a lower price, the real price of the product that is. He looked at me and was like "wooow, scuse me?". Lol, and we took the smaller brand.
There's a ton of stuff like that, which we don't think of, that can make us save a ton of money. You know, sometimes people see 2 products, a well known brand, then the copy brand and most of the time people assume the well known brand is better and take that one, but nop, the copy brand is EXACTLT the same thing as the well known one. If you buy copy brands for everything you buy, you end up saving an important amount of money.

Anyway, it's interesting, but boring sometimes aswell. And I got a lot of work this week, Idk how I'm going to do this.

Ah yes, this is my new computer I'm typing on! It rocks really. It still got no sound because the guy who built it forgot to gave me the speakers I paid for. I need to call him when I can. And the computer had some bugs. But right now, it's almost perfect. I started playing a new game, Flyff, it's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool game. The graphics are amazing, the gameplay is perfect, there's a ton of cool stuff. The only con would be that there is just combat and combat-related skills in the game, but no skills such as cooking or crafting, or someting to the sort. Kinda annoying.. But oh well, so far I'm having lots of fun and Im not lagging at all.
