Countdown begins

And so it begins.  I have a deadline for my masters report and presentation: November 1.  I have to have a final presentation and report ready to give to my committe by then to allow them time to review everything before November 14 when I give the public presentation of the headache I have been working on for the past two years.  Sadly, the analysis of the data is still not finished, but I put my foot down and said I wasn't going to pay for another semester of tutition if I had to wait on someone else.  Besides, what initially started as an internship ballooned into a research paper.

I have already warned Dastard  so he can try and keep me off the ceiling as I begin to freak out.  So, how much still needs to be done?   HAHAHAHA, too much.  I do have a few chapters written, but I need to review my references for accuracy and pull some information that is available from the data out and set up some graphs for the paper and the presentation.  That is going to be the time consuming process.  I'm still learning the many facets of Excel and what it can do.

The good news is that after November 14, I hope to renew my gold subscription for XBL and start playing some games again.  I fear my reflexes and skill (LOL) will be sorely lacking, but oh well.

Wish me luck and send good thoughts.

Keep on Go!
