schneefink: (FF Kaylee in hammock)
Today I had an email conversation with my statistics professor debating the feasibility of an exam about Monty Python, complete with several links to youtube. Now I like him again, despite the fact that he didn't show up for class yesterday. I'm having a hard time taking my statistics class seriously, even though I know it's very important. One of the first sentences I read in the textbook was "the data should not be raped" and that was it. (It is very important to always practice consensual data analysis. Monitor the key indicators carefully: they will tell you when your data is not fully on board with the method you are using and you should stop and check immediately. Some data are generally incompatible with certain methods, but sometimes you can negotiate...)

Then I went to an information event about the Master's course I'm strongly considering. Near the end I asked about application deadlines and mentioned that the program only starts in the winter semester. "Where did you hear that?" "It's right here on the website you're projecting on the wall!" "Oops. It won't be there tomorrow." So I made a lot of back-up plans for what I'm doing this time next year for nothing. :)
After the presentation was the informal part with snacks and strawberries and good wine. Probably most people don't get drunk after three half-full glasses of white wine? But when I went to debate club afterwards I could hardly follow the speeches (granted, they all had very bad structure tonight, but still) and my head feels all fuzzy.

Which wouldn't be that much of a problem if I hadn't decided that I could still prepare the presentation that is due tomorrow tonight. Meaning now. Ugh. I fought with the Worldbank and the Unesco databases for over 30 minutes until I remembered I already have the relevant data somewhere else.
Normally when I'm drunk I talk too much and hug people, but nobody is around, so I guess that means I ramble here? Idk.
