I think my friends and I are at this point where we're so stressed out about finals and work that every small thing that happens sends us into a fit of FML. We had a bit of a ranting and hugging bit last night, and in every other text is a sigh or efffffff. Mainly the cause is some guys, but there is other stuff as well. Gah.
Speaking of finals, I have both of mine today:
American Sign Language from 12-155 and then Quantitative Methods from 2-4.
(Note the times, please. Yes, in fact if I take the entire time for ASL, I have 5 minutes to make it ALL THE EFFING WAY across campus to take my hardest test yet. FML.)
And to top it all off, I missed a day sometime in the past two weeks, so I missed the Regression chapter for Quant Methods, so now I have no idea what in the hell some of these equations mean. Horray. What exactly is Sum of Squares Regression? And how does it relate to the Y Hat equation? Is the Degrees of Freedom Regression the same as the Degrees of Freedom Within Treatment, Between Treatments, Between Subjects, or Total? Or is it completely different?
Exactly. I'm screwed.
And I can't study for math tests. No, it's not that I have no motivation, it's that I CAN'T study for math tests, and I never have, really. Not from Algebra all the way through to AP Calculus. It's not like Psychology or ASL where you memorize definitions and signs...it's numbers. Obviously Dr. Jones isn't going to put the same numbers on the final as in the practice test, so why study when every question is going to be different? It was the same with the ACT and other proficiency tests I've taken. I honestly can't study for them. I just go with the flow, and the funny thing is that I get good grades. Am I smart or lucky? I know...I'm going with the latter. Let's hope this luck continues...

Dude, this is exactly why you should become a qualitative researcher? Numbers, pshaw! Just sit, stare, and take notes. :)
