Does stress lead to increased consumption?

That's my research topic for my academic writing project.
Cool rite? Haha :P
Our hypothesis is that when people (in our case we are limiting to Asian students) are stressed they tend to spend more, be it in terms of food or other consumables.
Gonna do a survey and apply our econometrics knowledge to formulate something.
Make some sense out of senseless numbers, lolx :P
But I think its rather interesting to do and it shall be a fun project! :D

By God's grace I think I have rather awesome project mates :)
Everyone in my academic writing project group is like quite enthusiastic and all.
Then for my Entrepreneurship Group I shall find out on Thursday.
But thank God that I already know 3 out of the 6 (including me) people :)
I suppose things will be abit easier if you know people in your group.

Math is seriously starting to look weirdly interesting.
I spent like 15 mins copying down notes during the lecture today and after I finally finished, I sat back, took a look at wad I've written and a sudden thought came to me, "Wow I could acty write alien greek!" :P
It was like 15 lines of symbols.
That's wad stats does to you.
After writing out means and variances and etc. you'd think u juz mastered a new language.

Multi-variable calculus is even more high-level!
Have to start to adapt to 3D graphs.
No more 2D graphs :(
Gotta visualize, imagine, be creative :P
Many new terms that I have not absorbed yet.
But I try to think of them as new names.
You know?
Its like meeting new people and everyone is unique in their own ways :)
Yup.
So far I met Clairaut, Hessian & Monomial
Meeting Jacobian on thurs :D
Ok u're not supposed to understand the last 2 lines.
I'm juz being random :)

Oh ya if any of u guys out there are interested in the following event do let me noe.
I can buy tix for u :)
JJ Lin will be performing :D
