OK, I lied, I didn't go to sleep....officially at 10:48 PM, I have completed all of the required statistics. Great news for me, finally I feel a sense of accomplishment. I think I'll go to sleep and wake up when my body wants to wake up.
Tomorrow I will review the T-Test Results, Oneway Anova and how the t-ratio, DF, and two tailed probability actually plays into my results.

JMP Woes
OK, so I downloaded JMP 9 a month ago and created my dataset using that information. Well, JMP is only for 30 days and with the holidays and procrastinating...I lost my "privileges. 4 hours of trial and error, attempts at breaking it down to plain text or binary and I've been able to finally get it working, but it's 10PM, I'm tired and my brain needs a rest. I was supposed to have a margarita tonight. these are the sacrifices.. Let's shoot for 3 AM to get back at it.

Afternoon Start - Mentor
I'm not currently "registered" for class, so I'm unable to get assistance from the staff. That sucks, no problem though. It's mid day and I want to take advantage of this white space. Just like the gym, half the battle is getting there. Lets see if I can get this thing going.
