Stats scare me like hell

Ok, here I am. Been struggling with my data all this time. I entered all the pre-tests to SPSS and met a statistician, then another, then another and was still lost. I sat down to work but kept staring at the screen. Literally, statistics is a different language to me and I don't understand a word. I feel like stupid and inadequate and it keeps getting worse. I am also very stressed about it because I want to present some of my results in my next report which is in like 20 days!

Today, I decided to go to the statistics department of my university and hire someone to help me! Luckily, a friend of mine referred me to his friend and he agreed to help me. You have no idea how relieved I feel now - well not much haha. Because I've been disappointed enough about statistics before and I will only stop stressing out when I finish my data analysis I guess.

So, this week I'm going out of town to attend a holiday-like symposium (yay!), and when I come back next week I'll hopefully start working on my stats again.

Stats give me butterflies! and sleepless nights!

PS: Today I collected my last follow-up test. So, finally done with data collection!

Edit: Hahaha I love google ads. As soon as I posted this blog, I got an ad saying 'Need help with your data analysis?' Oh, sure I do!
