your mom is a least squares regression line

Guys, this is not good.

I'm sitting here doing my stats homework, and I've lost the will to do well. I know that sounds like nothing at all really, but something true about me is that the only way I get through this thing called education is by being pretty highly motivated by high expectations of myself. If I lose that, what is there to fall back on? I just want to turn in this beeping assignment right now, half finished. Seriously, I haven't felt this angsty about homework since high school, when at least I could resort to quietly slamming my teacher at the end of my essays. What can I do with these stats fill-in-the-blank questions? "The percentages of delayed flights from Seattle in this example demonstrate Simpson's paradox because of YOUR MOM."

Oooh, I made my TA look like a FOOL!

You are the most funny in serious angst! Maybe you should write a column for a newspaper...I would read it every day! Indeed, I am fully sitting to read this entry (before I could only stand behind the chair) so you see I'm getting better. Although, I've broken into a sweat with all the typing--stamina needs big improving yet! Call me, huh??

Mom made me read this out loud to Grandma. We all laughed and laughed. Don't lose you expectations! You can do it!
