Stats Midterm

Hi, so.. I'm still alive from studying stats.
Im beginning to believe they saying that it's all in the head.
For instance if you're scared of math you'll do poorly in Math, that's the rule.
Honestly, I've never had that problem.
Ive never understood the other people's struggle with math, or academics in general.
I hated Physics, but I still did well in it.
Looking back, I guess I was pretty blessed.

Its been so long since the last time I and a real exam.
One that leaves so much uncertainty in you, like you think you've gone through all the materials but still feel very unsure about it.
And.. I have to stop being competitive.
It's killing me.
I'm comparing all the grades on homework 1, not in a negative way,
but definitely in a way that is hindering my progress on this stats thingy.

有时候,左看看右望望,
总觉得身边都是敌人,
都是竞争对手..
This is not right, and not helpful at all!

I'm trying though. I am.

October - Busiest time yet

There's always gonna be a crazy month of the semester.
And then a crazy week.
Or a crazy period of time where everything, including personal life (aka human stuff) all decide to happen at the same time.

This weekend is family time. It is Grandpa's 80th birthday, and Chad is coming home from the Marine's to spend a month at home.
And this is also the weekend where work is craziest.
Stats midterm on Tuesday.
Stats homework due on Tuesday.
Preparation for lab meeting on Tuesday.
6 emotion articles to be read and critiqued on before Tuesday.
TA duties - review session on Wednesday.
And of course all the others things I'm working on like fellowship application and lab work.

Yay?

October is turning out to be one hell of a crazy month!
