I tell ya what--I gotta maybe re-think this whole fancy book learnin' thing I got going on. I just took a Sociology test online. Not so good. I thought I'd answer all 50 questions.
Wrong.
I missed three questions. Somewhere in the middle of the pack. I had but 9 seconds to go. If  I'd gone back the WHOLE test would not have counted. Not enough time. Considering the grade I received--not sure it much matters. *sigh*
I know I must re-do my strategy. My impatience holds strong. I just want classes done. 
This semester I took 4 classes. The beauty of that, they all started and ended at  different times. As of  today, I have successfully completed one class, while another class ends on Wednesday--and you know about my dropping of the Statistics class. So, all is left is the Sociology class I stunk up on the exam tonight. 
Checked the syllabus, I have two more tests and I can try to get some extra credit.
Blue Bell Cookies n Cream Ice Cream calls my name. That is a test I know I can pass.
Stay tuned.
PS. The painted flower pot posted is a new creation----plastic. Those don't break in the mail. :)

I See You!

A few things happened since we last peaked in on you. For this post I will tell you about my decision to drop/withdraw from my Statistics class. Yep. I am working TOO hard to get a "D". Considering my last exam was another "F"--I think it's time to call it a day. Online classes are cool---however a math course was too extreme for me, and I like math. This is a required class so I MUST take it.  Yet I need to have someone stand in front of me to explain  why I should care about a binomial distribution in a random sample of 44 doctors, with the mean age of 43 to find the probability of how many doctors are 41.5 years old is really so important to me. Hence, I need to be able to see and say questions to the teacher. If all goes well, I hope to take a Statistics class in person starting January. After December, I will have 5-6 classes to finish my Bachelors in Sociology. For the future I've pondered the thought of a dual master's, or master's/doctorate and then I remember Statistics.  I wonder my probability of either one and the certificate I would love to get from Harvard.  Stay tuned. 

40 Days Since...

WOW!  It has been that long since I posted??? My hiatus was not be so long. In fact, I did not plan to have a hiatus of any kind! So what have I been doing the last 40 days?  I gotta tell ya, it has felt more like a 40 year wander in the desert wilderness, like Moses, did with the Israelites, when it comes to one adventure I continue to endure. The cat may give some idea:  

I know for certain there will be NO "A" for me

in the Promise Land of Statistics.

Nope. Not even close.

Sure. I had high hopes to achieve one, however 

After I took the first exam, I grabbed the syllabus 

To make sure I could still pass the class 

Even with a  "D".

Stay tuned. 

I won't stay away so long again!
