grrrr (aka: you may not want to read this)

Usually, I'd be in class by now. But not this morning. This morning I get to finish the massive lab report I was up until 3 working on (and by then I had just managed to get all the data in Excel and only compiled five of what is so far 8 graphs).

I am mad that I have to miss History for this.

I am still frustrated with the data itself. It's quite a pain when you don't have the data set you want and realize you can't get the data set you want because nobody wrote it down--except your group--because nobody thought they needed to write it down and your group only did it on a fluke figuring they might as well be as thorough as possible. It's a pain when you realize that of the 15 or so values for each of 32 different data points, half of them still have to be stretched and manipulated in order to come even close to saying anything...and even then they don't say much..."and then there's Statistics."

My graphs show nothing, or nothing much...but as long as I interpret them to say they show nothing I should be ok.

I feel better now.

"I got a mule"

Did anyone else learn the "Erie Canal" song in elementary school, or is that just an Upstate NY thing?
