Goodbye/Hello :( :)

To my graduating kids--the big day is almost upon us! I can't wait to see you all tomorrow with your beaming smiles, hot outfits, and caps and gowns, as you get ready to start the path toward doing big things. You all possess such incredible potential and I have no doubt I'll be seeing some of you on the news and tv and such someday. It's definitely a bittersweet moment--I'm so proud of all of you for everything you've done not only in statistics this year, but just in your lives overall. You should be too. I hope you all keep in touch. I didn't think I'd be able to develop such a tight bond with 75 stat kids just due to sheer numbers, but you've all proven to be special people and easily conquered the crazy student-teacher ratio. I love you! Congratulations!

And with each ending, comes a new beginning....

Yo new stat kids! The bar has been set high by this year's crew. I have the utmost confidence you can continue to raise that bar rather than falling short of it. Many of you I already know through SAT class or just passing in the halls and such, and I know I have a lot of really good, smart kids coming in.

SUMMER ASSIGNMENT:

Just check this blog. To be honest, the next post likely will not be until July 19ish, b/c I'll be at a statistics conference all week getting the mathematical juices flowing. I also have to dedicate some time and figure out a way to get all these statistics projects up to check out. So for now, just look around the blog...check out all the links, some old posts, just explore when you're bored and websurfing.

And relax! Be ready for a lot of hard work next year!
