Mosses and wormholes should never mix

Ry, thank you so much for introducing me to Star Trek: TNG. Best show ever. XD

Oh look, I haven't blogged in months. Surprise, surprise.

Looking at my last post, it was right before I got the cyst removed. So let's start with that little adventure.
Mom ended up taking me to the emergency room that weekend to get it checked out, as it was monstrous and gross (it was like having a walnut shoved under my chest). They did confirm that was infected and gave me some antibiotics for it. The doctor told me that they might not be able to remove it because it was infected. But I figured I'd keep my appointment and let the doctor at the clinic at least look at it.
I had asked Mom to come with me to the appointment but since she figured that they wouldn't actually do it, she didn't come along that Tuesday. Which is kind of shame. But anyway, I get to the clinic and show the awesome Dr. Paul this monster cyst. I don't think he was quite expecting to see something like that and freaked out. Told me to lie down because he wanted to take it out right then and there, infection be damned.
Now, I was expecting this which actually turned out to be a blessing because I would have completely psyched myself out before hand (I have a tendency of doing that) so I was sort of in a state of shock the entire time he was removing it. Another thing was that he didn't want to use any anesthetic on, just because the sheer size of it would force him to use over 10 needles to numb it and it would hurt a lot more.
But actually, the pain wasn't that bad. Just enough to be uncomfortable. The worst parts were a) the smell and b) the fact that he wanted me to look at the pus as it was coming out. Uh, no thanks doc.
All that's left of it now is a one centimeter long scar on my chest (didn't require stitches though). Hopefully it'll diminish in appearance over the winter. But other than that, it's all good.

My Math 213 summer class went well. I got 100% on the assignments because he forgot to take down his assignment answers from last semester and I downloaded them before he deleted them. HA! Helped a ton too. I got 76. I was hoping for over the 80 but I hate the fucking final for that class. So everything is back on track.

Rest of summer was sort of meh. I'm back at McDonalds now. The only thing I will say about that is that it is so much worse than when I last worked there. I don't even know how that's possible. One of my male managers was arrested and fired the other day for sexually assaulting a male coworker. Also, the coworker is 16 so I'm pretty sure he'll get a child molesting charge out of that. Good times.

Fall classes have started. I'm actually liking my schedule.
Stat 357 (Sampling) - I love this prof and the material is ridiculously easy so far. Lab is going good too.
Stat 351 (Intermediate Probability) - This is the one I'm worried about. it's quite a higher level of Stats than I'm used to and the prof has an extremely thick accent. Hopefully the assignments and tests will be okay but I dunno. The textbook is going to really be a lifeline.
Econ 321 (Econometrics) - LOVE IT! This is a tutorial course, so all that happens is that he gives you an assignment and readings to do and you figure it out for yourself. No lecture. No final. I love the style so much. The only problem is the software we're using is a pain in the ass. I sat there for an hour today trying to figure out why I was getting an error on one of my equations and without changing anything, it randomly started to work. WHAT? Good thing I have 6 weeks to do it.

Oh, and I needed 4 textbooks for these classes. Guess how much? $570. Fuck. Me.

Other than that, I don't have much else to say. But there you go: update! Hopefully my next entry will be sooner. Tah!
