Sorry I'm posting so late. I almost forgot to do it at all. Eeek! Anyway, not much to tell about this week really. School hasn't started, but we had assignments from last term that are coming due so I've mostly just been doing that. We had an extension on our assignment due on the 11th, but I finished it by the 12th, so that I didn't have to worry about it anymore. I have another one due on the 25th that I've been working on. Its doing stats and since i haven't really done any since high school it is going to be very difficult. I've been trying to learn stats from a program that the school put up online, but I'm convinced that parts of it are incorrect and mostly it just bores me to sleep. I fell asleep over my computer yesterday while working on it. Boo!
So Monday I went to school and worked on my paper most of the day. Then I went to pick up the paper I had turned in before Christmas and it wasn't there. That put my into a panic as I was convinced that I had failed and that's why they didn't have my paper. But then I talked to some of my classmates and theirs weren't there either, so I was slightly less worried.
Tuesday I stayed home and finished my paper. I was gonna go to school, but I don't think they turn the heat on there. Its always freezing.
Wednesday I went to school and turned in my paper. Then I started trying to learn stats. It was depressing. That night one of the other flats was throwing a New Year's Eve party since we didn't all get to celebrate it together. So I did that and it was fun. I was pretty wiped though, so I left shortly after midnight.
Thursday I again stayed in and worked. Didn't get a whole lot done though.
Friday I went to school again to work because I wanted to try for my paper again and I had to pick up my financial aid check that had finally come in. They were all delayed due to the terrible weather issues. Anyway, I should have money in a few weeks. Woohoo! And I got my paper back and got a 70! My lowest score to date, but still a distinction! Yay!
Then Saturday I went over to the coffee shop to study for awhile. I also got tickets to an orchestra concert that is featuring the music of John Williams. Its in February, but the tickets were selling out so we wanted to get some before they were all gone. For dinner my flatmate made us an Indian chicken dish. It was really spicy, but very good.
Today I went shopping and to get milkshakes with a friend. It was nice to do something out of the flat and not studying (even though I should have just studied. I'm way behind on my reading and the term hasn't even started :() . Then I came back here and have been reading ever since. Its just so dry and mind numbing to read about stats. Plus I generally don't know what its talking about, so I have to refer back to about 50 tables and graphs and previous pages. Its no fun at all.
Okay ranting over. Sorry for being late. And how much does it suck that NBC screwed Conan? See you here next week when I'll try to be on time :)
