Got my Statistics II exam yesterday - I didn't do as well as I liked, but I still managed to get the top score when the class average was 60%.

Just took my next History and Systems quiz and got a 90%.

Checked my History scores - two 90 %'s on the short tests and a 95% on the presentation.

Maybe this is the good news at the end of an awful week. I think I should treat myself to some...um, I have no clue what to do to celebrate.

See, just about any student I know has a recurring nightmare about walking into class one day and finding out that there's a major exam. Hypothetically speaking, a midterm. In a class that said student has, hypothetically, only attended three times in four weeks and has never read the required chapters.

Said student would be...me. Oops.

I walked into my Abnormal Psychology class only to find out that the midterm is *today*, not next week like I thought. And being the big procrasonator that I am, I haven't done the reading because I figured I still had a week to do it. So basically, I've attended a total of three out of eight lectures and read only the introductory chapter of the textbook. Luckily, the entire exam consisted of 50 multiple choice questions basically covering information we mostly learned in Intro.

I figure there's one of three possible outcomes for this scenario. 1: I was brilliant and aced it, 2: I was a bastard and failed it, or 3: I got a solid C. Though I'm hoping for the first, I'm almost positive it was the second. I mean, there were a bunch of questions any moron who has half a mind a shred of common sense should have known. Like: Who is considered the founder of psychoanalysis? Come on, now. But then there were other questions like: Somatigensis was a result of: WTF?

In short, Oops.

I just realized that I can never take the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale or the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, because I'm using them for my research study and thus know the "right" answers.

An interesting thought. Well, to me.

Oh ye gods in heaven, how I weep in wearyness and praise at your feet.

Er, something like that.

I just finished desiginging the web survey for my research study. That was one of the most tedius sets of three hours in my life. But now it's done. It's really truly finished. All that's left is to slap a consent form on the sucker and publish it to the web, pending IRB approval of course. And then I'm going to need all of *your* help, but I'll talk more about that later. Right now I'm going to go reply to LJ comments instead of finishing the IRB form like I should be doing.

Also, next week I get my research assistant. I get a research assistant, like, get to be in *charge*. I'm thinking starbucks and a shoeshine, neh?
