so, i only have one more exam that i have to take ever! so i basically have till thursday morning to learn 6 chapters of statistics.
i hate our professor. he's such a jerk. he doesn't assign homework and just tells us to do the problems in the book... which there are like 100 in each chapter. we're allowed to have a formula sheet for the test but he doesn't provide any of the statistical tables that you need for stuff like normal or chi squared distributions... so we have to include all of these on our sheet. oh, and a guy in our class emailed him to ask if he could do more examples in class and the prof said he didn't have time because he had so much material to cover. thanks for not helping us understand the material at all, jerk. did i also mention he teaches straight from powerpoint too? so ineffective for a math based class.
i had my final presentation for my special topic friday. it went really well. doc (my adviser) told me i did a really good job and that i'd been hiding my potential the whole time i've been in the lab. he's asked me a few times if was going to stay for a phd. i told him i didn't want to but if i don't find a job in the atl area i may have to do that. but i really don't want to take anymore class. studying sucks. i'd rather just do real work.
i think my right kidney is mad at me. i've had coffee every day for the past two weeks and i even had half a diet coke wed night (and i don't even drink soda). starting wed night i've had this pain in the back right side of my body when i lay down. i feel like something is pushing against my ribs. maybe i'll drink some cranberry juice.
