In which I didn't die -- but A.W. apparently did

Whoever would have imagined that if we read the textbook, the homework would be easy? Oh my! What a concept! I was doing stats homework and I didn't die! I actually LIKED the math part. It was SO fun! Yay! What I don't get is the vocab (what in the world is a dependent variable?) and the stupid tech. lab. Blah -- it's super-duper stinky when the computer saves the files incorrectly and then closes the programs before you have a chance to print them and your prof tells you that you have to do it all over again if you want credit for the lab.

I got a call from Timmy the other day. When I checked my messages, I had one from Timmy that informed me of the demise of his beloved fishie, Andy Wiersma. Oh dear. Apparently, Andy Wiersma got sucked into the filter and died. Poor thing . . . I changed my MSN name to "TJ's A.W. died" and a few hours later, Lisa stopped me and said, "MJ . . . What is your screenname all about?" I laughed and said, "Sunday was Timmy's birthday . . . " She said, "Is A.W. a fish?" I said, "Yeah . . . " She said, "Seriously, the first thing I thought when I saw that was 'Andy Wiersma is dead? WHAT?' and then I thought about it and I realized that I had seen him on Monday and he was fine so he couldn't be." Then she proceeded to explain that if I had just said, "Andy Wiersma died" to her, she would have jumped out her window in an attempt to kill herself and it would be really horrible because she lives on the first floor and she'd have to climb higher to get through the window than she'd actually fall and the worst that would happen would be a sprained ankle. And then this dude named Jason (I think . . . ) joined her and he thought I was insane because the comet is named Curious George Clooney. Yay. And then I found twenty dollars. (Or not -- but it sounded good.)

And I thought there was something else I was going to add, but I don't remember what it was, so I shall depart to wash my hair. I heart you all!
