Insignificance

God, okay, I swear I do other things besides bitch about my thesis. (I've forgotten what these things are, but people tell me I at least used to do them.)

BUT.

I'm now in the stage of determining whether or not my results are Significant. It is very important to be Significant when it comes to things that involve math and data and... things. The process of determining Significance involves more statistics than I have ever exposed myself to, and now I'm realizing why. However, I think the best part of this whole ordeal is the word choice. Results, you see, are either Significant or Not Significant.

The number of times I have typed "insignificant" is uncountable at this point. I'm sure there are still some of them in there, hiding. I feel so good typing out the fact that this ENTIRE THING IS INSIGNIFICANT.

Oddly, the more Not Significant my results are the better I feel. It's probably because the more Not Significance I have the less work I have to do. Yes.
