Me and the Fam ;D



My family and I had the privilege to visit the 3rd tallest watterfall in Brazil (3 football fields hight). This is a picture of me and my family at a stop at a village called Tabuleiro. The coffee they served was the BEST I've ever tasted. Just AMAZING. I guess Starbuscks is missing out.

Summer School

After two weeks of classes I am ready to say that I have a love and hate relationship with statistical regression. I like the research possibilities attached with this statistical analysis, but I hate having to understand its foundations. Dr. Gagne is a GENIOUS and this is a advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage is that he makes it look easy and achievable, on the disadvantage side is the fact that he knows so much that getting lost is a common situation. Well, I should not complain since some of the best people are in this class, making it really fun.

I guess I will continue to work on the homework and the IMPOSSIBLE quizes :D

Back

I underestimated the benefit it would be going back home. Vanessa and I spent about 15 days in Brazil. It was time well deserved after a year away. I could not write this post without thanking Vanessa's parents, specially F.H. So, THANK YOU
I will add some pictures with captions. I believe they will speak about my experience in Brazil better than I could ever write them.
