Hedging your Risk

I like to send a shout out to Madgirl who came up and was able to visit me. Shout out to Sapphire who came to see me and a shout out to DK of MBAbloggers who I got to connect w/ on his visit.

In school we are in the midst of studying risk. There are many different ways to define risk. Risk your cash flows won't be the same year to year, risk you could go bankrupt. There are all kinds of emotional risks which is what I am interested in right now. It's hard to put yourself out there in anyway. Fear rules our actions more than we care to admit. In the midst of the self-examiniation I am constantly going through I still find it hard to take emotional risks. I will jump out of a plane, leap off the bridge or dive into the ocean, but if I have to walk into a bar to meet someone I panic.

There are ways to hedge your financial risk and cover yourself.  The only way to hedge your emotional bets is not to try at all.  How can we change ourselve so that we take that chance?

So, I think my brain is dead.  Literally I can't talk about anything that is not related to school.  I don't think it is physically possible for me to cram another piece of information in my brain.  I am trying to empty it via MTV but even that makes my head hurt.  Why is it I am trying to watch videos and nobody shows videos anymore?  MTV shows all kinds of random shows like date my Mom which is cheesy and stupid.  I would normally be able to write a pop-culture rant on it, but my brain again has shut down. 

Ahhhh, until I can think coherantly...
