Day 483

I don't think I started today properly. Actually, I know I didn't.  I got to campus early to work on an assignment for my Regression class. My mistake was that I tried to learn the material from my class while also trying to teach myself a new programming language (SAS)... and I did not have very good instructions for either thing.  So that was pretty frustrating.  I ended up just using Excel because I'm far more familiar with it.

Then I had class.  We talked a little bit about a new method for determining credibility (a measure for how good our data is).  Then we had a quiz.  I think I did well on it.  I knew how to do all of the problems... let's just hope that I actually did everything correctly!

After class we went to the Atrium and I tried to do some homework.  But my brain needed a break.  So I discussed some of the homework problems with the other people at the table, but I didn't start any of the other homeworks.

So then I had another class and we discussed more pricing of stock options.  We're getting into material that deals with pricing things based on how risk-adverse (whether you're willing to take risks or not) you are.  And how all of those things are measured and contribute to the price of stocks and derivative options.

After class I had an interview with Lincoln Mutual Insurance.  I thought it went well, but I guess we'll see in a month or so!

When I got home Kimmy and I had leftover pizza for dinner.  Then she had to go to work.  So I washed the dishes, tried to fix the refrigerator (and failed), did an assignment for class, and then wrote a couple thank yous.  I know that I was supposed to get all of the thank you cards written about a week ago... but it didn't happen.  I'm not going to sweat it and I'm almost done.

Then Kimmy came home!  And we had ice cream.  It was tasty.

And now it's bed time.  Good night!
