What does a student do after acing a Statistics test and working at the Writing Center until 11:00 last night? Why, she packs her bag and goes to SUNY Purchase for the weekend! That's what!
To tell the truth, I was worried about the Stats test. When do you use Z test or T test? It seemed to me that the same rules applied, but then it hit me! THERE IS a difference between population mean and sample mean. The answer was right in front of me all along. We self graded our test in class (to prepare for our final in two weeks), and I aced it! Yay!
Last night was the Writing Center's Write All Night where we "feed people for work." The Center stays open late to hopefully assist people writing those end of semester papers. It was busy when I was there from 5 to 6, but when I came back after my test, it was pretty slow so we finished up the pizza and talked shop.
But I still have to go pack for the weekend! This summer I have been accepted to SUNY Purchase's Baccalaureate & Beyond program where twenty students from community colleges around the state get to live on campus for five weeks taking a junior level class and working on an independent study project. Everything is free, and they even give us money for food for the five weeks. I'll be getting an on campus apartment, but unlike the Vassar ET Program last summer, it is not mandatory to stay on campus nights and weekends. I plan on coming home for the weekends. It's worth three transferable credits too.
Tonight and tomorrow they are having an orientation program where I'll meet the faculty and learn more about the program which starts after I graduate DCC up to 4th of July weekend. Bad timing to go away though - I have final papers to write and a presentation to prepare for. There's reading that needs to be done too.
Yes, part of packing includes textbooks and notebooks, but statistically, that's what ace students do!
