I rocked my plant breeding final yesterday afternoon, and today, I have finished my statistics final as well. I’m not sure how well I did on the statistics final, well, because this post was made before I took it. 
If the rest of the semester is any indication, I shouldn’t have a problem.
As of now, I’ll be off to the field to help my lab-mates finish hand-planting some maize seeds. Don’t get the wrong idea, we won’t be breaking our backs stooping out in the field, we’ll have rocking tools like these ones to plant seeds at regular intervals and depths. Still, it takes some time to do, and I expect my afternoon will be taken up.
This evening, I’ll be making some tablecloths for Ariela’s candle operation (site is coming along, going to add pictures and a shopping cart next week), but I expect I’ll have time to read and respond to comments on the Hume/Kant post. For all those out there who are finishing up their finals, or have yet to take them (I’m so glad I’m not on the quarter system!), may mechanistic causality be tweaked in your favor. (Good Luck!)
Update 17:46: Oy! I could have done better on that stats exam, I came out of it worried about my grade. When I met up with classmates who were also doomed to hand-plant (actually it was fun with the camaraderie) we all breathed a sigh of relief that we weren’t the only ones that were doubtful about it. When I got back, an all-class email was in my inbox from the professor - the class average was way down compared to all the other exams. So it sounds like the grades are going to be weighted - Linear Transformation! Linear Transformation! Goodness of fit stays the same, but the numbers become more meaningful! Maybe I’ll get a bonus point for applying the subject of the class to the grade for the class! Didn’t do so bad after all.
