an open letter

Dear Statistics textbook, professor, and requirement:

Fuck you.

No love.


Sorry I didn't make it tonight, ursule - I fell asleep on the couch when I got home from work, and have homework due and a quiz on stuff I don't yet understand tomorrow, both at 8:30am. If you want to give me Brian's office number in his building, I can get the banner to him on Friday so we don't have to keep relying on the pipe-dream of my actually making it to a meeting sometime this century. :P

That's exactly what I thought about it.

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

It's just so... argh. I usually get it, eventually. I've just never been great at math, and almost six years since taking a class in it hasn't exactly improved on that. :P

[narsilion.livejournal.com]

Ermmm, oops?

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Yeah. "Oops." As in, "Oops - I really should've taken this damned class when I was a freshman, back when I wasn't quite so horribly out of practice with math." *Headdesk*

Oh well. Done with homework for tonight, and it's the second-to-last homework for that class ever. Have last quiz tomorrow, and then it's one more homework and the final!

Did you see this? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000AQS0F/103-1715912-4083824

If you haven't ordered it yet, do you want an early birthday present? :D

[narsilion.livejournal.com]

Holy crap, REALLY??? I would LOVE that more than you could EVER know for my birthday present!@!! You are one AWESOME daughter!!! WHEE!!!!

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Done and ordered. :D I set it to come here, since I wasn't sure how they handle packages at your place.

[narsilion.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, you're wonderful, (and I'm excited.) I'm not sure if I can come up to bring the coffee table today. Do you want to call me, or just plan on tomorrow? (I'd call you, but I don't want to call at some wrong time and interrupt a class, or something important at work.)

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Ahhh. I'll call you - I'm hoping to get out of class around 3:30 today, but it might go as late as 4 (we're seeing a pair of films).

Brian works 1:30-5:30 on Friday in EE 209, but that's a closed suite. Might be easier to leave it with ctseawa in EE 206. Alternatively, you can e-mail Brian at bjf10 at u dot washington dot edu, and he can pick it up from you in Mary Gates.

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, yeah, that might be the best way to go about it. I'll drop in on CT, since there's a fair chance I'll have to head out that direction at some point over the course of a day at work, anyway. ;)

And here's a halfway-caffeinated reminder . . .

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

I've got it!

[bluerose16.livejournal.com]

Ugh, statistics, math SUCKS. :sympathy hugs:

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Yes, it does. But I only have to pass! *Clings to this hope* Right now, I expect I'm getting about a C, and that is good enough for me, damn it!

...At least, in a math class it is. Anything else I'd be beating my own brains out from horror and guilt. :P

*Hugs*
