I turned in my final paper in Statistics class today. Which means -- after a year of torture -- my required statistics coursework is OVER! FINISHED!
Which translate to: I never have to take another math class again in my life. Like, forever! Yea!!!
If I learned anything this year in statistiscs, it is that data can be sliced and dice to say WHATEVER the fuck you want it to. I suspected as much before, but now I know: don't trust numbers. Most of them are bullshit. Seperating the good science from the bad, it turns out, can be quite tricky. Many quantitative social scientists put of a barrier of smoke and mirrors (p-values, f/t/z-tests, etc) that make cutting through the BS like trying to read hieroglyphics.
In any case. I'm done! Now I can focus on what matters for my work. Phew!
