Statistics.....BLAH!!!

For the last eight weeks I have been taking the worst class known to man (or woman)
Yep, statistics....kill me.
It is an online course and all in excel.  Every week we have to read the chapter,
watch five 30 min videos, post two discussion to our classmates answering a question the teacher posts. Reply to three classmates post. Do the homework assignment out of the book and take a quiz.  After the
first week....I knew I was going to fail.  There was no way I was going to pass.  I asked Mark for a blessing to help me understand this math and to pass the class.  It was the hardest 8 weeks of my life.
My friend Analee was taking the same class but with a different teacher.  She was such a huge help.  Her hubby had recently taken this class and could help explain some of it.

This weird puppet was one of the lecture videos.  It was completely insane.  Made no sense.

I took a picture of the homework and sent it to Analee to make sure I was doing it right.

This was part of the super hard final project.  This was one of five pages of these dang excel charts, graphs, z-scores...ugh!

We had to take a 65 question final.  I got a 95% on it.  Thankfully, I saved all my quizzes and all the notes and everything I did in class.  The final project I asked the teacher if I could email her my final project and she could tell me what I needed to fix.  She sent back my paper the day after it was due.  I fixed and tried to resubmit it but it wouldnt let me.  I called tech support and everything.  
Then.....I checked my grades and saw this.......


I got a 86% on the final project and a 93% in the class!!!!!
I didnt even bother trying to resubmit my final paper.
The Lord answers prayers.  This was a complete miracle.
I GOT AN A IN STATISTICS!!!!!!!
