travail en cours

C’est beau d’avoir élu

Domicile vivant

Et de loger le temps

Dans un coeur continu,

Et d’avoir vu ses mains

Se poser sur le monde

Comme sur une pomme

Dans un petit jardin,

D’avoir aimé la terre,

La lune et le soleil,

Comme des familiers

Qui n’ont pas leurs pareils,

Et d’avoir confié

Le monde à sa mémoire

Comme un clair cavalier

A sa monture noire,

D’avoir donné visage

A ces mots : femme, enfants,

Et servi de rivage

A d’errants continents,

Et d’avoir atteint l’âme

A petit coups de rame

Pour ne l’effaroucher

D’une brusque approchée.

C’est beau d’avoir connu

L’ombre sous le feuillage

Et d’avoir senti l’âge

Ramper sur le corps nu,

Accompagné la peine

Du sang noir dans nos veines

Et doré son silence

De l’étoile Patience,

Et d’avoir tous ces mots

Qui bougent dans la tête,

De choisir les moins beaux

Pour leur faire un peu fête,

D’avoir senti la vie

Hâtive et mal aimée,

De l’avoir enfermée

Dans cette poésie.

Jules Supervielle

… my Statistics exam and I have come up with some final notes - 

• I can’t remember things that aren’t personally meaningful (i.e. the stuff I don’t get).
• I don’t get statistics.
• Therefore, I will not be able to rote learn Advanced Statistics in a one-night-cramming session.

If I am to undertake this exam I cannot be sober.

• If I am not sober I am either drunk or hungover.
• I will not be drunk because the exam is at 9 am and I haven’t gotten that bad yet.
• Therefore, I will be hungover.

You can imagine the state I am in.

On the upside- haven’t I just nailed formal logic!?

Miracles can happen, right? All those assumptions tests for outliers must mean they exist. Or are they just errors in measurement?

Last glass - here’s to unsystematic variance, the imperfect theory of psychometrics, its continued misuse and misinterpretation and the other unmeasurable f-test, faith.
