The look of being brain-dead after a day of statistics.

Hellooooo Everyone!


Firstly, I would like to say that I am super excited at the traffic this blog is getting. I have 36 views! (Hey you gotta start somewhere :P )


I am so very happy to be posting again. I wanted to post EVERY single day this week, but alas, my schoolwork took precedence :(


On the same note, as I am sure you would all like to know, the month of October is going to be slightly hellish for me in terms of school-work, and this is a wonderful escape (where I feel like I am still doing something productive). So, THANK YOU! By the way, Statistics is a lot of work.


Okay, I have a funny story to tell you!! So I am taking this class called Information Systems (which is unfortunately required....though they did reduce it to only half a semester). Anyways, it is the most boring of boring classes. Literally, everyone DREADS going to that class. The professor hands out candy at the beginning of class (secretly, I think it's so that people actually come). But the class actually drips with stupidness. During the first exam, I actually laughed a couple of times at the grammatical incorrectness of some of the questions. I. Kid. You. Not. Anyways, so we have to post an article on the class discussion board for the class. So I (2 weeks before the deadline!) found an interesting, relevant article, summarized it, and asked a question as requested by the teacher. So of course I was a little upset when I found out that I received a 70% on the assignment (which was quite an easy one). So I make an appointment with the teacher....which he missed. During the second appointment, I asked him why I received the grade that I did. And he basically said a bunch of nonsense that was not in the instructions, and so I used logic and told him that what he is saying doesn't make sense. To make a long story short, he increased my grade because he could not back up what he was saying. And so that I would stop making him realize it. HA.


Sooooo, my cool thing for today is the fact that it is the END of September, I am in western New York, AND it was sunny and 80 degrees today :) I hope everyone spent LOADS of time outside!
