Statistics

I hate my Statistics class. Mostly it's because teacher is a jerk. He's crass and i's obvious that he thinks he's smarter than anyone else in the room. Which is ok with me - profs are supposed to be smart, right? But what bothers me is that he feels like he obviously has such low self-esteem that the only way he can raise it is by proving that he's smarter than his students. Now that's pretty dumb.

The worst part is that he tries to sugar-coat it by being funny... He says: "Think of a histogram like a human pyramid - no, not the ones from Guantanamo Bay." Anyone see the stupidity here? Yes! It's Abu Gharib, not Guantanamo! Stupid!

I wouldn't care about such a slip of the tongue, except that he's so arrogant to begin to with. Just act like a normal human being!

Other than that, the class is late at night, 8:00 - 10:00pm, which further aggravates the feeling of "why am I here?"

Sorry to rant...

Here's something interesting: the normal equation!
