No more statistics. Ever.

I took my exam and promptly sold my book back. <.huge sigh of relief> I don't know how I did, and honestly, I don't care. All that I care about is that the exam is over. I think I performed the hypothesis tests correctly, it's just a matter of whether or not I chose the correct one to perform. So we'll see.

From this day forward, no one cares if I can do a Chi Squared test or a Multiple Analysis of Variance or compute a correlation coefficient or figure out the standard deviation of a sample. WAHOO!!!!

You know, it's strange (cue philosophical-sounding music). All through school, your life gets determined based on a handful of days and a handful of exams. But once that's all over, no one gives a second thought as to whether you got a 1470 or a 920 on your SATs, or whether your GPA was 3.98 or 2.01. Those things just give you a little shove onto the next platform in life and then are tossed away. I got into a good school, now those standardized test scores are history. Once I get a job, my GPA will be forgotten. It almost seems like a waste! I suppose that in the end, it's all worth it. Ultimately all of those things should add up to a satisfying and fulfilling career. ::crosses fingers::
