What can I contribute to this class of International Finance? Well unfortunately, I have no formal background as of now on this particular subject matter because I have yet to take International Economics or any upper-level political science and/or international affairs classes. However, through my readings and the day-to-day news, I hope to have a better grasp as to how economic indicators (i.e. balance of payments in various countries, interest rates, exchange rates, etc.) interrelate and affect the countries’ economies. At this point in time, I feel that my career path will eventually deal with macroeconomic topics, especially those in the international field. I’m a diligent worker and I ask questions when I don’t understand the lectures. So, the best that I can do at this point in time is listen intently to the material and to what other people have to say and use my economics background to help and try to make sense as to why certain economies are behaving the way they are.

You forgot to mention how fabulously qualified you are since you were on the Finance Committee while I was chair. I believe that covers the “Finance” portion of the course, don’t you??
Oh, and how you being chair next year makes you even more qualified!
