First Week of Stats

I feel like my head is spinning just a little bit.  During inservices when statistics and data are introduced along with terms like standard deviation, and means, and modes, my brain has a tendency to just turn off for a little bit.  I know it is bad, but huge tables of data have that affect on me. 

I felt like I was in and inservice during this first week and as a result I ended up doing a lot of the work at the last minute, and I'm still not sure that I get it all. 

In the end, I'm hopeful that this will help me to use and understand the data I receive at work and I can take that and put it to use in the way I teach.  Today however, I still have that head spinning feeling.  I hope it will go away soon, but I have a feeling it won't.
