That Economic Principle about Opportunity Costs

June 24, 2007 in Essayish, Rambling

While getting notes for the English [Composition Writing] class, I happen to cross thoughts again on one of my deep contemplation. The thing about opportunity costs.

It may take me about five minutes in copying all the notes from two books to about two pages of my my notebook, but seconds in photocopying them for a little price of 1.50 php [lower than .01 USD].

I choose to copy them by hand.

I have almost wasted five minutes of doing something useful into copying words and phrases that may not even be what that it’s looked for, so why not just photocopy it?!

If I just photocopied it, I will have no chance of meeting again my high school classmates who has been very close to me [actually, they think they have been very close to me, I don’t hold any fine attachments]. There was one particular classmate I haven’t seen for the second time since our graduation. i don’t know forgot her name so I discreetly peaked to her ID and saw who she is. I have a lot of things forgotten, maybe it’s because I try to remember lots of things.

If I just photocopied it, I may have never reviewed it… And recite so godly in class.

There is always a payment for a thing that we do, I always try to contemplate on the things I did in the past that made me what I am in today.

It never fails to amaze me that a two letter word would be the key  to close the gates of one of the best foreplay experiences in my life….. Too bad.

Besides, the queues in the photocopy machines in the school are largely notorious for being long.
