College Life.

Shouldn't I be partying or something?
This is actually work. Geez, what did I miss?

Ha.

Yeah, I know. But last night I was kicking my PSY700 paper's ass in the middle of a huge storm, the likes of which we haven't seen since Tropical Storm Fay last summer.
I was soooo on a roll when I got an email from my Stats faculty person.
"Hey, guess what? You did your ENTIRE Stats assignment WRONG. Redo the entire thing in SPSS there, lovey, not Word."
Oh hell. That assignment took me a total of 4 hours to complete.
And moving it over to SPSS was a total pain in the ass, especially since it won't do Stem-and-Leaf plots and I couldn't get it to cooperate half of the time.
It took me a whole hour to redo all the data sets and copy and paste some of the sets.
Have I mentioned that Stats AND SPSS suck ass?
Especially since SPSS uses n-1 for the sample size and the book uses N, so 90% of the answers didn't match. And no one was able to get the average absolute distribution to match up to what the book said was the answer.
And Stats Faculty said just to go with it. Helpful, much?

But, the paper is coming along nicely at 2/3 done and it's not due until April 24th, so I'm still beating Procrastination with a big, fat stick.
This week's assignment got done before it was due until I get the next 8 chapters worth of stuff to do in two weeks for the next class.
Stats starts at 6 and I have 96 minutes left on my cell phone, with a 105 minute class. Yay.
