it's starting to get real

tuesday, september 14, 4:00 PM: the single hardest hour of class i've sat through in my tenure at ole miss.

the class started with this: "so, i assume you're all familiar with logarithms."

thirty minutes later, i looked up from my scribbled notes to the professor asking, "and does anyone know the sixth assumption of the simple linear regression model?"

um...what?

so last night, i read chapter two. everything from three-dimensional graphs of heteroskedasticity to the appendices on advanced algebra.

this is all happening at the same time 1) thesis is starting to get serious, 2) graduate school application deadlines are creeping up, 3) GRE prep is underway and 4) grove season has officially started.

ruh-roh.
