From the textbook for RDDA: "The most widely used way of describing the spread of a group of scores is the standard deviation, the positive square root of the variance. There are two steps to figure the standard deviation: 1) figure the variance. 2) take the square root.
If the variance of a distribution is 400, the standard deviation is 20. If the variance is 9, the standard deviation is 3.
The variance is about squared deviations from the mean. Therefore, its square root, the standard deviation, is about direct, ordinary, nonsquared deviations from the mean."
My life now has 1 fewer RDDA and 1 more PsychOLangAcq. I am immeasurably happy.

My moment of "OMG help me I must change my schedule immediately or suffer horrible currently-scheduled DOOM" has arrived.
We are all surprised.

We (Miriam and I) are in LaTeX class right now. There is nothing here that is not on the CIS webpage. Drat. On the bright side, I now know about the CIS webpage on LaTeX. Go find it, for it is fun.

Mollie- give me your flight information.
Others - is anybody home? Nobody answers the phone.
I am excited about Paideia, and yet missed yesterday due to car-fetching and today there is nothing that I particularly want to go to. Sux0r. But tomorrow will be better. People should tell me what classes they plan to go to tomorrow so I can decide whether to tag along. All I know for sure is Origami workshop and Firefly marathon. What think you(plural)?

Today I saw a sign that said Transmissions Accomplished.

OMG GET IT?!?!?!

In the interest of better communication (by means of the shiny new "No Fester, Mo' Smileys" Policy) -
This is me and my dad playing Scrabble:
This is what I think of meringues:
This is Aragorn and Legolas:
This is the face I wish we could make to make to our landlord:
This is Chris in her band:
This is how I feel about Eliah not coming home when he should have been here last week:
This is Fureigh in contacts vs. glasses:
And finally, an important message for all of you:
There. Don't you feel better now?
