This term I am finishing my psych curriculum before I graduate in June. One of my psych classes is quantitative methods, where we exhaust certain statistical analyses such as two-way ANOVAs and F-tests. The fact that people make a profession out of this has been on my mind for the past week. I had read somewhere the title of this profession, as well as the jist of what it entails. However, over the course of the past week, I haven't been able to remember what the technical name of this profession is for the life of me. Every time I remind myself to check my book for the answer, I am somewhere that my book is not readily available, and I find myself filing once again through my memory in hopes of remembering it that way. Finally, this morning as I did homework, I remembered not the title itself but that I was in correct proximity to put my mind at ease once and for all. At the exact moment my ass left my chair to reach for the book that had the answer, it came to me in my mind. This whole damn time I've been trying to remember to no avail. And then finally knowing that the answer was in grasp was all I needed. Was it the excitement that I was finally about to find out once and for all the answer? What the hell? This is what's passing for entertainment at 7AM.
