le finished
Well, that's it. I have officially finished the last thing I have to do for this semester (stats exam, finished about 10 minutes ago). Holy crap that went quickly (the semester, not the exam). It's always nice to look back on something I was really worried about and think it went well. Yay coming to new places, meeting new people, and getting along with them!
So, random crap. I turned into teacher-Bootler yesterday afternoon. A bunch of people got together to do stats review, which I said I'd hang out for because it helps me to help other people. It turned into me standing at the blackboard and going over all the tests we've learned since the midterm (three t-tests, z-test, three kinds of correlation, and two confidence intervals). There is now both photographic and video evidence of how much a stats geek I am, so that's something. But I think it helped people and that's what mattered. Plus I definitely clarified a few things in my head, so everybody wins. So I left campus around 6:30 (probably could have left earlier, since the last 30-45 minutes were basically me just sitting and helping/bugging Shawn while he finished his research assignment write-up). Got myself some Tim's for dinner, thanks to money that Ashley gave me to buy some gift certificates for her secret santa. So I owe her $10. Ate dinner, read some junk, answered a couple more stats questions, and then retired to watch some Die Hard on TV/fall asleep. Yay going to bed at 9:30-10:00! I even managed to sleep basically the entire night through, which probably means that I really needed that. Woke up this morning, read some more junk, and came and wrote stats from 9-10. Done and done.
The rest of today should be good times. We're having a brief class/get back assignments at 12:30, and then Rob (one of our instructors and the program co-ordinator) has booked a yoga class for us at 1:15. Looking forward to rediscovering how truly not flexible I am. After yoga we have the Last Class (campus pub) booked for a little "yay we all survived" dealy. Wondering if I can con drinks out of people, since many people still owe me donuts. Then again I haven't had to buy a single lunch for myself this week so I guess that works out. Then later tonight a bunch of us are going to the Ranch for drunken fun and the mechanical bull. We'll see what kind of shape I'm in tomorrow...
Oh, also. Found out that if this whole research analyst/stats chick thing doesn't pan out I'm pretty much guaranteed a job back at the BSC. Which I pretty much knew, but was made doubly sure today. Over the break I'm going to be doing some data entry/training work for the BSC, a differnet group than I was working for over the summer, basically my boss's boss. Last week I got an email from my boss over the summer asking if I could work for her area as well, which I said thanks but no. Need to get some sleep over the break. So she has now apparently booked me for when I get off school. Which is nice to know that if for some reason I don't get an internship, or it doesn't lead to actual employment, at least I have somewhere to go. Not anywhere I particularly want to go, but there we are.
And Ashley's now done the exam as well (20 minutes after me, sucker), so I'm gunna pester her. Hugs and howls to all.
