"Satan delights in statistics" - H.G. Wells

Tuesday, February 9, 2010


I had my very first Statistics 223 exam today. It was scary and I was kind of freaking out. My study partner told me that I just needed to calm down, and that I would be okay. Someone else said I knew everything I needed to know. But I had heard these things before. And I have failed my fair share of math tests.

My. whole. life.

So let's just talk about how I felt when I sat in the testing center, hacking away at my exam like a starved homeless man who was eating out of the garbage for the first time. I took a bite out of each problem and tried not to taste. I blazed through that exam in 30 minutes.

I had to double check my I-card when the last four digits of my I-number popped up next to a number I couldn't believe.

8152: 86%
...

86%?!

That's a B! That's a B PLUS AWESOME!

... can you tell I'm proud of myself?
