It's amazing how finishing a test makes me happy--IMMEDIATELY. I wasn't particularly worried about the test, but it was a daunting 2-hour experience with a "Mystery Question" that always throws us kids for a loop. There are 3 parts to the test: 18 true/false questions, one multi-question analysis part where we interpret SAS output and models, and then the "mystery" part. This test's mystery question was the following;
3. (10 points) In this last problem, you will be asked to consider data from a recently reported abstract in the medical literature......blah, blah....[excerpt from the paper outlining the objectives of the study and the findings]. Then we're given the covariates that were measured and a list of assumptions and told to "describe in detail the logistic regression models whose odds ratio are being reported on in the abstract".
Wha? Sounds like fun, doesn't it?!?
Luckily, this section is only 10% of the test grade and he gives partial credit. I ran into the prof after the test and he said "I made it through grad school on partial credit" : )
On to bigger and better things ; )
Friday night: Kyle is coming into town and we're going out for drinks.
Saturday: PHSA tailgate and UM football game followed by the "American Products Party" at Kara and Julia's house, where we have to bring American food/drinks or wear our favorite "Made in the USA" clothing. Franzia boxed wine will be provided. Then we move on to Rick's Club for some much needed dancing! While I usually avoid Rick's (yucky frat boys and girls straight out of "Girls Gone Wild") I NEED TO DANCE. I haven't been out at all since Halloween and haven't really been dancing since the beginning of September........the "dance reservoir" is full and the time has come.
Studying will be done on Sunday and in the gaps in between the other events. I know, it seems wrong to prioritize going out over studying, but I'm really not........I'll still get a lot done! AND just so you know, I declined an invite to go out to a club last Saturday night. See?
