# I don't think I did too well in my maths modules.
Luckily my physics made up for it.

# I'm doing stats on my experiment results for my phd
and i'm terribly bored with it, although it's almost finished so I'm procrastinating now.

# I feel your pain.
I find stats horribly confusing.

# it's no longer confusing, as I've done the stats
I'm just writing them up and it's highly boring.

# Ah right.
Did you manage to get a statistician to help, or did you have to wade through all that crap yourself?

# waded
help is frowned upon i think. it all makes sense and looks nice, but all the blah blah blah
F(1,19)= blah blah is annoying and i have to try not to constantly repeat myself, despite having to constantly repeat myself.

# I used SAS
it's genius. A bit of programming language, then it read the results file and spits out all the stats, anovas and so on, so it could have been worse. I'm just moaning about the write-up, since i need to hand it in on monday.

# I'm hoping to not have too much stats to do on my MSc project.
But I'll have shit loads of numbers to wade through, and so far I have no idea what I'll do with them.

# I hate stats
Absolutely loathe them. Which is, of course, why I'ev ended up doing too much fucking statistics for the last four fucking years. I have *no* idea what I'm doing.
