Hello all, I'm a new member.

I'm wrapping up my undergraduate degrees in mathematics and economics at a small and unremarkable state university. Early in college I was majoring in physics rather than economics, but I hated labs and was fairly lazy so I switched. I'm now trying to make up for that mistake with self-study.
