does yr uni offer tutoring in the stats class? i couldn't ever understand anything in stats either except we had a really good textbook so i learned from that and spaced out during literally all of the lectures and the prof always assigned homework (it didn't get checked or anything; it was just practice) that i did every day. we also had a lab that helped, i ended up partnering with a girl who was awesome with numbers but since ours was applied stats, it was more to do with figuring out what the fuck the problem was anyway, which is the part i'm good at, so we taught each other.

I have been having such epic cabin fever lately. So yesterday I went out! I went downtown to the coffee shop where I first started hanging out when I moved here last year, and I played some Irish folk stuff with my buddy Gabe and some other friends of ours. Gabe is from Belfast and has a special affection for folk tunes from home, so he's been getting a bunch of musicians he knows and we've been practicing stuff whenever we can. Yesterday was lovely, it was my first time meeting the fiddle player he'd recruited, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out that she was quite skilled (I have hardly ever heard any decent fiddle players).
Then in the afternoon, a former work homie of mine swooped me and we kicked it for the first time in a while. He's moved away for a bit so it's not often I see him. It was pleasant enough until I realized he was still just as annoying and poor in musical taste as always, but then again, that's one of the things that's endearing about the guy. We got a little stony and watched Iron Chef. Of the vastly superior Japanese-and-overdubbed-in-English variety. None of that Iron Chef America horsefuckery, homie don't play. The 'swallow's nest' battle, in case anybody cares to know.
Today I kicked the shit downtown with my friend Seth. We played a form of Scrabble on his phone for a bit and had pizza. Game will likely continue tomorrow, until the point where I have soundly whooped his ass. Then again, he threw some hellfire too, so we'll see. He's at 179 and I'm at 176 (my move), no joke. It'll be a good match. I forgot what it's like playing board games with friends. Nobody I know even does that anymore.
After our battle I came home, napped, showered, went to work and cleaned up ink that somebody had blown bubbles on the floor with. Came home and got a little buzzed on some tree. I've got Reddit browsing and silly single=player RPG gaming ahead of me now, so I will wish you guys a grand night.

Jimmy, you can always ask your dem or tutor. Many are willing to help for the right price or know someone else who might.
Mind you, all my dems have been totally cool grad. geeks/students so your mileage may vary.
The Seldom Killer:
Heard on the BBC news that unemployment is rising and the area that I live in is the hardest hit. Looks like the end of my contract in a couple of weeks is going to mark the start of a long period on benefits. The good news is that I get to wind up Daily Mail readers by being a filthy dole scrounger but this will probably come at the cost of everything else turning to shit.
