An Apology to My Fellow Statistics Speds 2000-09-19::13:06:07 Okay, what I am doing right now is totally not cool. I am wasting time on WSU's computers writing a new entry rather than just doing it at home later and freeing up a computer for another kid who needs it for a school project. Today has been the most spedderific day of my life. I am really retarded sometimes, you know? First, things were going fine this morning until I decided to actually let my Stats teacher know I am alive and raise my hand to answer a question. This required that I give him my name, (because I have only come to 2 of our first five lectures, so he probably doesn't remember ever even seeing me), and second that I go up to the board and complete a problem. Well, I am feeling like a big shot now because 90% of the kids in my class cringe at the thought of math ("I am a psychology major, why do I have to take a math class?"), making me feel like a math whiz. So, I approached the board- confident as ever- and proceeded to finish the problem. So far so good. Things are going smoothly, until I add wrong! Everything else was right, except for this stupid addition error, which was actually quite large. If I just would've looked at the problem a little closer rather than rushing through it I would have seen that my answer couldn't possibly be the right answer. So anyway, all the speds in the class point out my mistake and I fix it and return to my seat. So now I feel like an ass, because I made some comment to JAlsup 2 weeks ago that I was not worried about Statistics, because unlike 99% of my class I could add. Turns out I can't add afterall. This may not seem like a big deal to anyone else reading this, but I am a perfectionist, and I never put my neck out on the line to answer a question on the board unless I am absolutely sure I am correct. Ugh, things wouldn't have been so bad if this was not the very first impression my Stats professor had of me. My first (technically 2nd) day in class, my first attempt at completing a problem, and I add wrong. I felt like a complete idiot. So after Stats I went to German- nothing to report there, everyone is lost in that class. After German, however, I came to the library hoping to download some notes for the lab section of Statistics. Yeah fucking right, like I could actually figure out how to do that correctly. I really am very computer illiterate. I only stick to the things I know how to do (It is a wonder I am able to keep this diary). So, needless to say, I couldn't download my notes, (computers hate me), and thus I am noteless and had to resort to e-mailing my TA to see if she can help me. God I hate school. |
