When the weather is nice, I'm happy

My life is so random. I fell asleep in Cognitive today. I did one of those jerk-yourself-awake things that made my notebook fall off my lap. Embarrassing. Ha ha ha. But it was so hot in there, and my professor just hypnotizes everyone with his voice.

Aarti and I did face masks today. So we were green for a while. We're such girls.

What else did I do? Oh, I spent like six hours staring at my statistics book hoping that the information would seep into my brain somehow and clarify itself. It's all Greek. Literally. I can't keep sigmas and omegas and thetas straight. I constantly have to look up their equations. I hate it that this class is so difficult for me. My poor professor. He's 83 years old and a genius. He has three PhD's: English literature, physics, and statstical psychology, with a masters in French so that he could read French poetry in its original text. He's Australian and has taught at universities in Australia, England, Canada, and here. He's working on getting a coefficient named after him for probabilistic statistics, because they one they use now isn't as good as the one he developed. And he was just given an award for excellence in teaching. However, out of a class of fifty-two, three students were there on Thursday. We had five today. Big crowd. I feel so bad for him. He's hysterical, and he was saying "it's ironic that I'm getting this award and my class doesn't show up!" But in reality, his portion of the class is on the theory and background of statistics, and lab session with Bob is on application and computation. Exams are on application and computation. So the lecture, to some, is unnecessary. Poor Prof. Rod. =(

What else? Oh, JC's mom posted on *N the Mix today. Just a reply to a post, but it's so cute that she reads it! I knew she did, of course, but this is the first time in a long time, and it was a fun little reminder. Heehee.

Ooo! The Osbournes is on! I LOVE this show! I've only seen three or four episodes, but man does it crack me up. Thanks, C, for making me watch those couple weeks ago. <.g>
