I've been thinking about going back to college and getting a degree in statistics, but I'm not sure about it. There was a guy I met at the college student dinner who works as a professor at the Chemistry department who said that he could get me set up with someone in the Statistics department, but I have to think about it first. Looking at the titles of the classes themselves, it seems like something I could do, however the Master's degree requires that you must have taken Calculus and know a high-level programming language. I'm horrible at Calculus and pretty much know that I'd fail again if I retook it, and it is iffy if I could be good at a high-level programming language (although I am better at it than I used to be).

Then there is the whole thing about losing my SSI, Medicaid and Food Stamps from it, as well as not being able to do a full-time job with the degree even if I do end up getting hired.

So I don't really know what to do. I really like statistics and I've proven to be decent at it, so it is just a matter of what I should really do with my life. What is the best choice, really.

The college student dinner was great; I had good conversation with some people and we had a good theological discussion along with a cigar afterwards. The cigar was a bit strong; I guess I'm used to weaker ones.

I met with the physician's assistant today; that was actually pleasant. He finally believes that I was telling the truth, and he ordered necessary bloodwork, so I don't have a problem with him anymore.

I just got to figure out what to do with my life. I've been really tired recently, too.
