Michael's Texas Embrace

Okay. I have this class I hate. Technical communication: Visual Rhetoric. I thought it would be neat to learn about visuals. And the first book we started reading WAS neat, all about the ambient optical array and vision theories and brains and stuff. Then we started reading this other book and it became obvious that my teacher sucked and so did the assignments.

This week, I'm supposed to make a line graph with at least five data variables or something. Which is fine, I can maybe draw a dumb-looking line graph in paint. But I have no data. The teacher seems to assume that aside from reading a couple hundred pages of text a week and working on a paper, I have time to learn some program that lets me make bar and line graphs AND collect fucking data (he says it can be "work related" whatever that means. I count fucking money and type in account numbers for a small portion of the day. The rest of the time I read. I don't have any "work related" data.)

SO......does anyone have any line graph suggestions? I mean, I've never made one before and I don't have data. I don't think the data really matters, since the prof. just wants to see me make a nice looking graph. Does anyone have any data for me to graph? Does anyone have a program that makes line graphs easily?

Argh.
