Statistics is one of those classes you don't look forward to taking unless you are one of the few lucky ones that mathematics comes to easily. After hearing your peers and even your professors gripe about it and tell you, "When you have to take statistics, hopefully you won't have to do anything else. You won't be working, you won't have other classes, and you definitely won't be able to do it with a house of busy kids running around." Statistics is exhausting, almost like learning a new language - there are so many terms, conditions, parameters and different ways to calculate depending on the scenario.
I have to thank a classmate for giving me a reality check one day, looking at the teacher with an F Quiz grade in her hand and a tear in her eye and saying, "This is my very last class I need to get my degree and I HAVE to pass it!" He turned his head from side to side and said, "I'm sorry...". That's the day my co-worker and I that were taking it together gave eachother that knowing "deer in the headlights" look and exercised our abilities withdraw from the class without affecting our GPA before that lurking midnight deadline. First class I ever withdrew from and an easy goodbye to the hardnosed instructor with the foreign accident we could not even understand (standard deviation sounded like standard division, etc.), goodbye to the grey hairs and temple strain our family members could see developing on us right before their eyes as we took shortcuts and crammed like crazy to make our homework and exam deadlines, and a finalgoodbye to the other cruddy textbook with pages and pages of laborious, boring and uninteresting reading.
