Blog 633: Titles are for the WEAK!

Ah, what a good day it has been (okay, well most of it)! I shall display it for you in…*gasp!* list form!

Today in Human Sexuality…
We spoke of female anatomy and the fact that I’m the only (admitting) virgin in the class. And no, I was not ashamed to admit it. 

Today in Statistical Analysis:
I felt extremely nauseous the entire time. I think it was because I might have drank expired milk last night (because of my olfactory deficiency, it’s been proven time and time again that I can’t tell when milk is expired by taste only…I have to have someone else taste it when it’s iffy). Last night, I did not have anyone else to test it, so I decided to risk it. Bad plan. 

Today in Sample Survey Methods:
I got a 34/35 on my first homework. And considering that the mean score was in the mid-twenties, I’m pretty happy about that. 

Today in Developmental Psychology:
I bored a nice young woman to death with my discussions of how the SAT only correlates .35 with college performance and my plans to change that fact. 

Today in Psychology of Emotion:
Sean debated the similarity between the emotions schadenfreude and malice to no avail., and we were on the verge of a psychological breakthrough regarding emotions, but class ended, so we never got there. 

Today In Between Psychology of Emotion and DS I/O Research:
OMG!

Today in DS I/O Research:
We get to mess with SPSS. I am excited. I love ANOVAs and t-tests.

Hooray!

Giraffe + Plum = Rotary Saw

Today was a rainbow of emotions. I shall now display snippets of each emotion using—gasp!—a rainbow!

Red = Excitement
Holy crap, I love Sousa. I’ve never played a Sousa march I didn’t like. And I’ve noticed that, after one day, it’s a lot easier to be obnoxious on a Sousa march on the clarinet than on an oboe. Sweet.
And now you all know my attitude towards cut time.

Orange = Intrigue
Tarsky’s World is sexy. This is the computer-simulated world for my symbolic logic class, and it is awesome. So far, all we’ve learned in FOL (first order logic) are things like translating English sentences into atomic sentences such as cube(a) and between(a,b,c) and a=d, but it’s still cool. It’s going to get a lot harder, though. I’m also intrigued about learning SAS and SPSS in greater detail.

Yellow = Determination
I do not have a brain wired for the ready uptake and understanding of statistics. But you know what? I’m going to force myself to have that mind. At the moment, my unpracticed mind is slow going in regards to stats (after all, the last class I had in it was a year ago, and that was just an intro), but I will prevail; I’m plodding ahead. I mean, come on, I got an A in (the utterly pointless and worthless) business calculus. I can pull off a few 400-level statistics classes. Bring it on.

Green = Contemplation
New goals: prove god, and disprove god. Not necessarily in that order. Use logic strategies learned in philosophy 202, if necessary.

Blue = Loneliness
I am so absolutely lonely right now. Need…companionship…want to…love…

Indigo = Frustration
I think we should institute policies on this campus in regards to walking that are analogous to laws pertaining to the road. Most importantly, if you act like a moron (e.g., if you walk on the wrong side of the sidewalk, stop in the middle of the sidewalk to talk on your freaking cell phone, walk like you’re drunk, feel the need to block the ENTIRE sidewalk by walking at 0.00000000001 miles per hour right in the middle of the sidewalk so that no one can pass you), you will be ticketed. Treat walking on the sidewalks as you would treat driving on the roads. In other words, STOP BEING SO STUPID WHEN YOU’RE WALKING!

Violet = Anger
My tolerance for the flaws of humanity is at an all-time low today. I don’t know why (okay, I do, but I don’t want to talk about it), so you’re all just going to have to deal with it. Sorry.

Lighter note: I’ve opened 27 new Microsoft Word documents today (the unsaved title of this is Document27). WTF?
