college life

When I type the word "Student", it simply reminds of me K310 Student's distribution, aka t-distribution for small sample size n <= 30 that is not supported by the Central Limit Theorem, which makes it not able to approx it normally. Thus the use of t-distribution for all small samples. And when sample size is too small to approx something too big i.e. crime rates, use (x+2)/(n+4). Then again, there may be comparison between individual samples, thus use Chapter 9 comparison against populations for proportions, which I cannot remember the formula because we are allowed to use 2 6 by 4 cards for our formulas. I am very confused why there is so many formulas for small sample size comparisons. And I am not sure which one to use. And the exam is on Tue, which I do not have time to study since I still got 5 more chapters of X202 to read (which I read before earlier in the semester) but just cant seem to remember at all. And I need to read this because I majorly screwed up my X202 practical and there you go, who says michael doesnt screw up?!? Not that I am stressed that I am typing this blog, but I am sick and tired of reading about dead people who contributed their entire lives to music, only to have people from my century to critic or praise them when they could not hear them and accept or refute these details. Best of all, I am hearing Haydn's Symphony no. NINETY-FOUR "The Surprise". I mean, where got people chia ba ka eng to write 104 symphonies?!? Plus he's got to carry his master's balls so that he could keep his intact. And he's got to conduct, write new music, and set such a high standard of precedence and only to be spoilt by the current generation's music. Plus people still got to "quote" his music and there's even a genre called Quotation Music. Why would people want to quote their music and how come last time no copyright laws? Don't they get pissed when other people copy their work? Reminds me of this scenario: Haydn "Aye Beethoven, how come you copy my work?" Beethoven "Aye siao eh, where got your name on this piece of music? My tou-gay on the score is bigger than urs leh, so it covers 2 lines instead of one. And there is no copy right. So sue me." Right, just like I said, they are dead, so this conversation is imaginery. But since they are Mentor/Student relationship, guess they will have this kinda conversation quite often, especially when Beethoven do not like Haydn and went secretly to find another mentor (btw, this is from my reader, not that I come up with something so nonsensical). I wonder how much they earn last time to write a piece of music. After all, aint these pieces of music very subjective and appeals to different people's aesthetic sense? So if publisher A say "Hmm good music, but abit dark Beethoven. I don't think Venice people will like it." Beethoven "HAR? WHAT YOU SAY? I CANT HEAR YOU!" Publisher A "Aye, I just say it may not appeal to the interest of people in Venice. Don't have to shut off things you don't like to hear" Beethoven "WHAT? I REALLY CANT HEAR YOU!" Publisher A "That's it! Are you deaf or something?!" Beethoven "DEAF? NOOOO NOOO DON'T SAY THAT *plucks hair* NO DUN SAY THAT..." *Symphony No. 5 Movement 1 starts playing its rhythmic melody short-short-short-long* As those business students may not know, Beethoven had hearing problems when he was about 28 and was deaf by the time he submitted his Symphony No. 9 with the famous Ode to Joy. And of course, who in the right frame of mind will reject the Venice 1st wave of famous composers (Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven)? But then again, I would not say that same thing for the 2nd wave of composers (Schoenberg, Alban, Webern) who composed using the 12-tone system. Absolutely no respect for the dead. Tsktsk. I think Mozart will turn in his grave and complain to Beethoven beside him "Aye siao eh, I think we better pretend to be dead. Its a mess up there." Speaking of Mozart, I absolutely love his opera "Don Giovanni". How the hell did he predict how people turn out to be like that? Ok lah, since this generation some believe its alright to have more than one gf, I think its alright for Don Juan to have 1,003 lovers in Spain, 640 in Italy, 231 in Germany, 100 in France, 91 in Turkey. And who is the most sickening person in the play? His friend-servant Leporello. He watched his master have sex with almost 2,000 girls! Damn... talk about free porn.

All these nonsense, some are true. But most of them are just posted for your entertainment value. Just for a laugh. =) study hard people!
