know what i hate? i hate it when i have so much difficult work that i don't/can't care/figure out what's going on in the world. like now. usually, i'm pretty immune to the famous "swat bubble," but i haven't so much as browsed the times for days. it's starting to feel rather like the whole world exists somewhere between the covers of the math stat text book.

and ouch, stat, my brain. this test will be over tomorrow at 5.00 pm.
