Late as usual, lately. I'll have some toast, a banana, and ginger tea. Thanks.

Break ends Monday with hopes of the last of my sickness. I came home before New Years knowing I didn't have the resources at my apartment to deal with prolonged convulsions. During New Years was another story, and the beginning of this week was arguably worse. Overall, this break sent me back to my apartment with a renewed sense of appreciation for my freedoms alone and the limits of such. Consequently, the value of a loving family. It's brought me to tears knowing what I have, and to my distaste, what I will be lacking in the later stages of life (barring having a family of my own).

In between sick day 2 and 3, one of my brothers took advantage of the clearance sales and bought a new car. There's part of the reason for the Tesla thread, which I'll head back to after this. Lucky for me, I've received a hand-me-down. Luckier still, I hadn't a solid need for it, meaning woes of gas and travel will only arise with jobs I'm applying to. My calendar is marked for the career fairs and expos on campus - at least trainings start. Also on campus, some sweet, sweet STEM courses are finally in my schedule. I'm fondling the idea of statistics whenever fits, but that'll have to stay on the sidelines. Coming to realize I'm past the traditional half-way mark now, meaning I must squeeze out something from all this rather than wade in it longer - hence expos.

I've committed to getting an early rest tonight after revisiting the Tesla post AND posting my #adayinthelife. Here's to marking off 2017 goals early. Ah, also will be looking into some environment oriented club on-campus tonight. Nothing advocacy related. Something action oriented. If there's anything I dislike in my current club's situation, then it's the stress on advocacy rather than action.

Not sure what your studying focus is, and this is entirely anecdotal, but having a decent understanding of statistics has turned out to be incredibly important in my career thus far.

I've heard the similar thoughts from friends not in statistics, but took the class where they could fit it in during their time in undergrad. Perhaps I'll make time in the summer for it then.
