Go to Maggie's blog to see photos of Monday's WnW...
Besides the utter happiness of being at a theme park with the most awesome of friends, I felt so loved by everyone that day. The rain and cold was a bonus to the memory department of this event. I was still on a happy high yesterday when I started drawing chibi versions of us at WnW...



I haven't had a chance to complete Jacob or begin everyone else. I went to see Quantum of Solace with the woman, bum, mummy, dude and the one I dote on, but left soon after because my stomach was causing me too much pain. I came home and passed out for 3 hours, and only just woke up to eat my first solid meal of the day.

Now my mother's nagging me to pack (last minute much?) for my trip interstate .. must remember the dress for my cousin's wedding! Will be back on Sunday for a few days before going overseas. See you all some time!

 

A statistics student, Ishani, was head over heels in love with the vampire in the Twilight novels called Edward whom increased her hyperventilating habits. She would become very jealous every time her friend Jessica, another statistics student, talked about reading her Twilight novels.This made Jessica feel very guilty, so Jessica decided to statistically analyse her friend's obsession (although she is very doomed for the statistics exam tomorrow herself).

Ishani hyperventilating is a continuous variable.
Whether Edward is there, yes or no, is a categorical variable.
The love for Edward is either yes or no, another categorical variable.
Therefore cont vs. cat & cat uses the two-way ANOVA


The F-test of the love effect in a two-way ANOVA of increase in Ishani's hyperventilation by Edward's presence and love levels has a P-value of

summary ( aov ( Ishani.Hyperventilating ~ Edward * Love , data = vampires ) )           

look at the p-value for the Love row
  0.004
  0.007
  0.023
  0.508

From the data you can conclude that there is

look at the p-value for the Edward:Love row

  No evidence to suggest that there is an interaction between Edward and love levels in their effect on increase in hyperventilation (p > 0.1)
  Weak evidence to suggest that there is an interaction between Edward and love levels in their effect on increase in hyperventilation (p < 0.1)
  Moderate evidence to suggest that there is an interaction between Edward and love levels in their effect on increase in hyperventilation (p < 0.05)
  Strong evidence to suggest that there is an interaction between Edward and love levels in their effect on increase in hyperventilation (p < 0.01)



I think overexposure to statistics has made me loopy... p-value = 1.2e-12

He smiled gently. "Don't worry. You're human - your memory is no more than a sieve. Time heals all wounds for your kind." Edward Cullen, p.71, New Moon I was like a lost moon - my planet destroyed in some cataclysmic, disaster-movie scenario of desolation - that continued, nevertheless, to circle in a tight little orbit around the empty space left behind, ignoring the laws of gravity. Bella Swan, p.201, New Moon "Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars - points of light and reason ... And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there as beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything."  I wanted to believe him. But this was my life without him that he was describing, not the other way around.  "Your eyes will adjust," I mumbled.  "That's just the problem - they can't." Edward Cullen & Bella Swan, p. 514, New Moon * * * Right now I feel as lifeless as Bella Swan does without Edward Cullen. I consciously made my smile reach my eyes today.

I started New Moon when I met up with Rui yesterday! She'd been studying in her car all day before I got off the bus and called her to see where she was. She spotted me straight away and gave directions to her parking spot in such a stalker-like way. It felt like was on the phone to the villain of an action-adventure movie and I was some pseudo-heroine with a wad of fake cash on a mission to bail out my loved one.

We had fast food for dinner and went to Maggie's dance concert! Wonderful group performances and solo Maggie *applaud*

I'd danced classical ballet and contemporary for about 5 years before I joined Maggie's dance school for 1 year.


Rui stayed the night over and went to bed at an insanely early time of 11pm. I stayed up another 2 hours 40 mins watching movies and reading the saddest bit of New Moon so far. Despite the difference in bed times, I was physically out of bed earlier than Rui who dragged herself around getting ready. I fed her cereal and blueberries and snacks, and she drove both of us to uni in return =D The traffic was horrendous, but at least she made it on time for her last minute cram session before her exam. That's the first and probably the last time I'll ever have a lift to uni T____T
