Stats Camp Chronicles

July 19:

Three more days to go. with each passing day, I feel more dorkier. not sure I really want to spend a month in an unknown place attempting to study stats.

July 20

We leave for camp tomorrow. Hate packing! Need to pack a life for a month. NOT fun! TT is also going to be there. Can't wait to see her! 8-X

July 21

First leg towards mission stats camp. Spent time with G's parents, one of the most gracious hosts I have ever met. Awesome dinner. Felt like I was home after all. Played an insanely funny game called Balderdash. Learned a few new obscure words. Hobbledehoy is our new battle cry!

July 22

Left around noon after a most wonderful breakfast - its been ages since I had breakfast and slep in late. Drove through a red state. Fun stuff! And then through a blue state - loved the pro-life hoardings and Jesus Saves billboards! Reached safe and sound. The house is really nice and so is the city. I think I will like it here.

July 23 - Day one

Woke up at an unearthly time. Maybe a month will change my sleep cycle for the good, though I doubt it. Walked to the university and got registered. Free coffee and breakfast. Went for a decent lunch and then walked over to class. Waited for an hour, felt like an undergrad, waiting for the professor. After an hour left. Drank some more. Told G somethings that should best lie dead. Came back, drank some more. met TT, she is crazy have concluded. SO is NOT coming. YAY! but after all the flack I took from G, I wish SO was coming.

July 24 - Day two

Had the first set of classes. Wasn't too bad - did some game theory. I think I like game theory better. At least I don't feel like an idiot most of the times. walked back, went to the grocery store and then cooked dinner. Not a very unusual day except had no internet access, so was twitching, but made it through the night. Wasn't so bad.
