The numbers know I hate them!

Let's face it, Numbers and I DO NOT GET along. I am horrible at math, and quantitative methods confuse the snot out of me and at this point I think my SPSS program is out to get me.

Lucky for me I do not have to do MUCH Quant. but for the remainder of 2010 I will be doing a bit more then I would like. "Baby Quant" as I like to call it (feq., correlations, descriptions) that I can do. Even T-test. But much more then that... and my head gets fuzzy. I do GET the idea of regression. But to run it and know what I am looking at. UGH!

I LOVE qualitative. More and More each day! Does it take longer, YEP! But I have made peace with this. I get richer and more indepth data and it makes me feel good. Rhetoric also has a warm and fuzzy place in my heart and I will return to it often.

But quant... we need to work on this relationship.
