Statistically Impossible To Excel

I'm in my Stats Lab right now, waiting for class to begin. The only thing that this class has going for me is the fact that it's going to quite possibly be the only class I will ever have that requires the use of a Mac. Yay. Finally, all of the files will be completely compatable with my own computer.

Statistics is pretty interesting. When the class first started out I thought about doing this as a major... but no, not now. The prospect of having to do these not-so-fun lab reports is not very enticing. I'll stick to bio. Also, there is no way that a career in statistics could foster the amount of social interaction I need in a job. Hmm... the more I think about it the more (right here I was about to put a solidified opinion of academic decisions, but then realized the more I think about it, the less I know). I love this.

I can't wait until this class is over. It should be an easy day today. "Learning" Excel in chem lab today, rather than doing actual lab. I used excel for an entire summer. I know that program. Easy. Well, I guess I'll be able to brush up in it. It's nice that they at least offer a tutorial as part of the course curriculum. In physics lab last year, they left us to fend for ourselves... not like the TAs could help...none of them spoke a sufficient amount of english anyway.
