back.

classes started yesterday. good times. stats ii was the first class of the semester and i managed to pay attention 98% of the time and understand about 95% of the material. the goal is to get really really good at stats. that's the goal. we'll see if it actually pans out.

i'm TAing for a criminology course which thrills me to no end, mostly because i love crim. the lectures are a little, well, like overcooked steak (aka "dry"), but overall, it could be much worse. seriously much worse.

today was secondary data analysis and concepts and methods (CAM). they re-vamped CAM for the semester and i'm actually excited about it. so overall, it's good times.

zoe, by the way, is apparently somewhat academic. i'm considering making her my research assistant. she likes to point at the screen when she sees thing moving. okay, so she's just trying to be a pain, but i like to think she has interest in sociology. she has otherwise discovered that my desk is a glorified climbing tower, thanks to an overheard conversation between marianne and me. i apologize to people for talking about zoe so much. i don't have a life and even if i did, i'd probably still talk about her.
