Ugh. I’m conflicted. Well, that’s nothing new—what’s different this time is the fact that I’m conflicted about my career choice. Shocking, I know!

I’m really, really, really into philosophy right now, and I’m really, really, really stressing out about the statistics part of my Psychometrician plan (which is essentially the entirety of the plan). Why are these two things occurring simultaneously? Two reasons:

1. Leibniz
2. Teetering on the border between an A and a B in Sample Survey Methods

So I’m basically chalking this confliction up to the fact that I’m really enthused about a specific philosopher we’re studying while being way too stressed out over one of my stats classes. I’m not going to give in to this confliction. I don’t think I could build a philosophy teaching career around a single man I’m obsessed with (though if a university would let me teach a class solely on Leibniz, that would be AMAZING), and I don’t think a single stats class should intimidate me to the point where I’m willing to give up the career that sounds like it was made for me.

So yeah. Just thought I needed to talk (or write) that out so I could put it in stone.

As much as Leibniz rocks my socks, I love psychometrics. It’s what I was born to do.

But if I could do both at some point in my life, that would be freaking awesome.
